About YUNG's Better Strongholds
From ModrinthA complete redesign of Minecraft's strongholds!
A complete redesign of Minecraft strongholds like never before, making them much more complex and exciting while still staying true to vanilla themes. There are over 15 different rooms, various types of tunnels and hallways, staircases, traps, and even hidden areas!
YUNG's Better Strongholds is intended to be fully compatible with every worldgen mod, including:
- YUNG's Better Mineshafts
- YUNG's Better Dungeons
- YUNG's Extras
- YUNG's Bridges
- Better End
- End Remastered
- Repurposed Structures - If RS strongholds are enabled, Eyes of Ender will locate whichever stronghold is closest, regardless of if it's an RS stronghold or a Better Stronghold. RS also offers a custom data pack you can use in addition to the mod that adds repurposed versions of Better Strongholds to the Nether and End! Check it out here. Use the latest version of Repurposed Structures!!
