Adds handcrafted structures from ancient civilizations (Mayan, Roman, Japanese, Germanic) with custom loot, mobs, and secrets

🏛️ Ancient Structures

Ancient Structures is a full-featured Minecraft mod that adds cultural, handcrafted structures from ancient civilizations directly into your world. It serves as a bridge within the Dawn of Time ecosystem, showcasing the architectural potential of Dawn of Time blocks and the animated armor models from Armor of the Ages through immersive world generation.

This first version includes around 20 unique structures spread across four civilizations: Mayan, Roman, Japanese, and German. Each building is designed to enrich survival gameplay, with a focus on worldbuilding, atmosphere, and challenge. Players will encounter lone temples, sacred ruins, abandoned villages, and military sites. Each hiding custom loot, secret passages, mini-bosses, and animated mobs wearing culturally themed equipment.

The mod requires the following dependencies to work :
