How do I find bridges in my world?
Bridges generate naturally as part of terrain generation, so you need to explore the surface and look for them spanning ravines, rivers, or valleys. They tend to appear where terrain would otherwise be difficult to cross, so check areas with elevation changes or water.
Do bridges spawn in already-generated chunks?
No, bridges only generate in chunks that haven't been generated yet. You'll need to explore new territory or create a new world to see them.
Why aren't any bridges showing up in my world?
Bridges are a rare structure, so you may need to travel a considerable distance before finding one. If you've explored extensively with no luck, check that the mod is actually loaded and that no other world gen mod is overriding structure placement.
What biomes do bridges spawn in?
Bridges spawn in a wide variety of biomes, and each bridge type has biome-specific variants that change its appearance. This means a bridge in a desert will look different from one in a forest or snowy area.
Are bridges safe to walk across?
Most bridges are structurally complete, but some may have gaps, broken sections, or missing rails depending on the variant. Always look before you step, especially near edges, and watch for mobs that may have spawned on or under the bridge.
Can I use a bridge as a base?
Yes, bridges make excellent landmarks and base locations because they're elevated, offer good visibility, and are often near interesting terrain. You may want to light them up and patch any gaps before settling in.
Do bridges work with other world generation mods?
YUNG's Bridges Mod is designed to be compatible with other YUNG mods like Better Mineshafts and Better Strongholds, as well as Terraforged. However, conflicts can still occur with mods that heavily alter terrain or structure placement.
A bridge is clipping into another structure or terrain — what do I do?
This is a world generation conflict between mods. You can try adjusting the load order, disabling conflicting structure mods, or generating a new world with different mod combinations to reduce overlap.
Will bridges affect my game's performance?
Bridges are structures, not entities, so they have minimal impact on performance once generated. The main performance cost comes from world generation when new chunks containing bridges are created.
Can I disable or reduce bridge spawning?
Bridge spawning is controlled by the mod's world generation settings, which may be adjustable through config files or datapacks depending on your setup. Check the mod's config options if you want to change how often bridges appear.
Why can't I find any bridges?
Bridges are rare structures, so a short trip may not turn one up — keep exploring different biomes and terrain types. Also make sure the mod is actually loaded and that your world was created with it enabled.
How do I get the biome-specific bridge variants?
You don't craft or choose them — the variant is determined automatically by the biome the bridge generates in. To see a specific variant, travel to the biome it belongs to and look for bridges there.
Are bridges safe to use as a base?
Yes, bridges make good bases and landmarks since they're elevated and often span useful terrain. Just watch for mobs spawning on and under them, and light up the area if you plan to stay.
Can I use bridges as a travel route?
Bridges often cross ravines, rivers, and other obstacles, so they can serve as convenient elevated paths. They won't connect into a full road network, but they're handy shortcuts when you find one.
Is this mod compatible with other world-gen mods?
Yes, it's designed to work alongside other world generation mods, including YUNG's other structure mods and terrain mods like Terraforged. Bridges will still generate in worlds shaped by those mods.
Will bridges conflict with Better Mineshafts or Better Strongholds?
No, they're built to coexist, so you can run them together without bridges failing to spawn. If two structures overlap, the game handles placement, though occasional awkward intersections can happen with any structure mods.
Does adding this mod hurt performance?
Structure mods add little ongoing performance cost since generation happens as chunks load, not every tick. The main impact is slightly longer chunk generation when new terrain is created, which is normal for world-gen mods.
