Frequently asked questions

Do I need to start a new world to see these structures?
No, the mod works with existing worlds. Structures will generate in cave chunks you haven't explored yet, so you can add it to a world in progress and find them while mining new areas.
What's the best way to find structures when mining?
Structures spawn throughout caves at various depths, so continue mining normally and explore side passages—you'll encounter shelters, ruins, and dungeons naturally. Listen for mob spawners or look for unusual building materials like brick and sandstone mixed into the stone.
Are the monster rooms dangerous or can I clear them easily?
Monster rooms contain spawners and hostile mobs, so they're designed as a challenge; bring armor and weapons before opening chests, as mobs will spawn when you're nearby. You can disable the spawner with torches or a pickaxe once you're ready.
Can I use this mod with Terralith or Biomes o' Plenty?
Yes, the mod is built to work seamlessly with both Terralith and Biomes o' Plenty, so structures will generate correctly in those world types without extra configuration.
