Finding and Looting Structures Efficiently

Locating Structures in Your World

Structures spawn naturally throughout your world during terrain generation. They appear both on the surface (towers, cottages, fortresses) and underground (dungeons, shrines). The mod integrates them seamlessly with vanilla terrain, so they won't float or clip through mountains.

To find structures faster:

  • Explore varied biomes—deserts spawn sandstone ruins, forests contain cottages, plains have watchtowers, and mountains hold fortresses
  • Travel to higher elevations and scan the horizon for distinctive silhouettes
  • Dig down to find underground dungeons and shrines; listen for mob sounds as a clue
  • Use the F3 debug screen to track your coordinates and mark promising locations

Preparing for Loot Runs

Structures contain specialized loot chests with themed rewards:

  • Food chests stock survival supplies
  • Mineral chests contain ore and crafting materials
  • Stone chests provide building blocks
  • Armor chests hold enchanted gear

Bring a pickaxe, sword, and torches. Structures use standard vanilla mobs and spawners, so bring armor and healing items. Mark chest locations with torches or signs so you can return later.
