About this project

What does Vanilla Horizons add?

Vanilla Horizons

A small but immersive addition to the Overworld — new structures to discover, loot, and explore.

Vanilla Horizons keeps the vanilla Minecraft feel while adding fresh locations to find on your adventures. No new dimensions, no complicated systems — just hand-crafted structures hidden across your world, waiting to be found.

🚧 Beta status

This mod is currently in beta with 3 structures added so far. More structures, loot variety, and biome coverage are planned for future updates.

We're also looking into Fabric support down the line — for now, the mod is built for NeoForge.

🌍 Where to find them

Structures generate naturally across select Overworld biomes (currently focused on forest and taiga biomes), except Mushroom Fields. Use /locate structure to track one down, or just go exploring — finding them yourself is half the fun.

⚙️ Compatibility

  • Mod Loader: NeoForge (Fabric support possibly in the future)
  • Minecraft Version: 1.21.x
  • Side: Works in singleplayer and multiplayer
  • Datapack-driven — no custom dimensions, no gameplay-breaking changes, fully compatible with most other structure/worldgen mods

📋 Roadmap

  • More structures across more biomes
  • Expanded and rarer loot tiers
  • Possible Fabric port
  • Community feedback welcome — let us know what you'd like to see next!
