This pack gives each overworld alternative monument a new exterior and interior that match the Better Ocean Monuments style. Knowing what each one looks like helps you spot them from a distance and pack the right gear.
Identifying each variant
- Desert monument: This is a large sandstone structure with pillars and redstone lamps on the outside. Inside it is dark, with sandstone pillars and husks.
- Jungle monument: Its exterior is built from mossy stone bricks and also has redstone lamps. These help it stand out against dense jungle foliage.
- Icy monument: This is a large structure in a snowy biome. Inside, look for a central floating ice structure, which is a clear sign you are in this variant.
What to bring
All three share dark interiors with stone pillars and cobwebs, so a few items cover every run:
1. Plenty of torches or other light, so mobs can't spawn behind you as you clear rooms.
2. Shears or a sword to cut through cobwebs quickly.
3. Armor and food for fights inside. In the desert variant, expect husks, which can inflict Hunger.
4. Warm clothing isn't needed, but in snowy biomes watch for powder snow on the way in. Leather boots let you walk on it.
5. Spare inventory space, because these overworld monuments can contain rare froglights worth carrying home.
Explore each room fully before moving deeper. That way you won't miss rewards and you won't leave mobs behind you.
