Overview

Valhelsia Structures is a world-generation mod designed to make exploration more rewarding and immersive. It introduces a variety of new structures to the Minecraft terrain, ranging from small abandoned houses to sprawling underground dungeons and ruined castles. Unlike many structure mods that feel out of place, Valhelsia Structures focuses on a 'vanilla-plus' aesthetic, ensuring that every new building feels like a natural part of the world's history.

In addition to new structures, the mod reworks several vanilla features—such as Witch Huts and Desert Temples—to provide a fresh experience for veteran players. It also introduces a selection of decorative and functional blocks used within these structures, which players can craft or scavenge for their own builds.

Frequently asked questions

How do I craft a Brazier?
Braziers are made using the mod's tool_crafting recipe type, meaning you need a tool (such as a hammer or axe) in the crafting grid alongside the required materials rather than a standard shaped recipe.
What is the difference between a Post and a Cut Post?
Posts (e.g., Oak Post, Birch Post) are the base decorative blocks, while Cut Posts (e.g., Cut Oak Post, Cut Birch Post) are a separate variant obtained through crafting. Both exist for every wood type including stripped and lapidified jungle variants.
How do I make Bundled Posts?
Bundled Posts (like Bundled Oak Posts or Bundled Stripped Spruce Posts) are crafted from their corresponding individual Post blocks. They exist for all wood types, both stripped and unstripped.

Cracked Glazed Jar and Cracked Big Glazed Jar are separate registered blocks. They can be obtained via smelting, as the mod includes a smelting recipe type.
