This is a highly improved & optimised derivative of a data pack originally by lukidonu.
New Ancient Cities to get lost in
Bigger, more varied, and far more rewarding to explore than the vanilla deep-dark layout.
This data pack overhauls Ancient City generation so every city comes out larger with more custom buildings, bridges and structures instead of the same handful of vanilla rooms.
All while the Warden still lurks in the dark below.
Pairs perfectly with Better Ancient Cities: these cities still generate as regular
minecraft:ancient_citystructures, so a management plugin like Better Ancient Cities can discover, snapshot, protect, auto-reset and manage loot.
Turn your Ancient Cities into renewable, multiplayer-friendly content.
September 21: the better ancient cities plugin is not yet updated for 26.3, but does work with 26.2
What's been done
- Works on Minecraft 26.2 and 26.3 from one download
- Fixed MANY features that were broken or not behaving as intended
- Repackaged for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge & Quilt (data pack + mod)
- Added a built-in loot editor to tune every chest, barrel, pot & vault to your server
Customise the loot
Want different rewards? This and the other data packs in this collection comes with a simple loot editor.
No commands, no JSON. Just open a plain-text settings file, change how common each item is, how many drop, and how full each container rolls, then double-click Build-Loot to apply it.
You can add or remove items too, and misspelled item names are caught before anything is saved. Grab it from the GitHub collection and read HOW TO CHANGE LOOT.txt.

Ancient Cities 1.6

Что нового
## v1.6 - 2026-10-11
- City chests hold as much as plain Minecraft again: more coal, amethyst, bottles o' enchanting, echo shards, disc fragments and potions, and the plain books are back. The saddles and sculk veins that took up space are gone
- Barrels are now small supply caches: food, candles, soul torches, arrows, coal and now and then something rarer. Some are empty, the way an abandoned city should be. No more wool, carpet and cobwebs
- The city centre, the biggest part of the city, now has a few barrels worth finding in every section, with books, echo shards, amethyst, iron, gold and the odd enchanted book. The freezer has two as well
- Pots now and then hold bones, candles, soul torches or even an echo shard
- Chests, barrels and pots that nobody has opened yet get the new loot straight away. The caches in the city centre and the freezer only appear in cities that generate after updating

Что нового
## v1.5 - 2026-10-07
- Ancient Cities now appear about 40% less often. The cities are much bigger than normal ones, so the world was getting crowded with them
- Only new, unexplored parts of the world are affected. Ones that already generated stay where they are
- City chests now also hold the things plain Minecraft puts in them, such as compasses, sculk catalysts, leads, the 13 and Cat music discs, candles and soul torches. Each one turns up about as often as in plain Minecraft, on top of the pack's own loot
- Four chests that were always empty now have loot: one in the freezer, one in the watchtower and two in the houses
