Aztec Temple & Ruins Ruins Structure Data Pack FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

Do Aztec temples spawn automatically or do I need to do something?
Temples and ruins spawn automatically when you generate new chunks in jungle and savanna biomes—no commands or setup needed. They'll appear naturally as you explore, though you may need to travel far from your spawn point to find them.
What biomes have Aztec structures?
Aztec temples and ruins spawn in jungle and savanna biomes. Jungles tend to have larger temple structures, while savannas feature more scattered house ruins.
Can I find these structures in old worlds or only new ones?
Structures only generate in newly created chunks, so you'll need to explore areas you haven't visited before. Traveling far from your existing base or creating a new world will show you the ruins.
Are there chests with loot inside the temples?
Yes, valuable loot chests are hidden throughout temple walls and inside ruin structures. You'll need to explore carefully and sometimes break through stone blocks to find them.
Can I harvest the building blocks from ruins to use elsewhere?
Yes, all the stone and terracotta blocks used in the structures can be mined and collected. This is useful if you want to rebuild or repurpose materials from the ruins.
Do these structures work on multiplayer servers?
Yes, the data pack works on both singleplayer worlds and multiplayer servers. All players will see the same structures spawn in the same locations.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The structures use standard Minecraft blocks and are designed to blend with vanilla performance, so lag should be minimal. If you experience issues, try reducing your render distance or checking for conflicting mods.
Can I disable structures from spawning in certain areas?
This depends on the data pack's configuration options—check your world settings or data pack folder for any customization files that let you control spawn rates or biomes.
Are the multi-level temples difficult to navigate?
Multi-level temples have multiple rooms and passages, so bring torches and mark your path to avoid getting lost. Some areas may have mobs, so come prepared with weapons and armor.
Do I need other mods for this to work?
No, this is a data pack that works with vanilla Minecraft—you don't need any additional mods installed. Just load it into your world and it will function normally.
