Moog's Nether Ruins

Moog's Nether Ruins are a family of partly collapsed stone structures in the Nether, added by Moog's Nether Structures. They are built from nether brick, blackstone, deepslate or soul-themed blocks, and most of them are only a few walls or a small shrine. Several of them hold useful loot, and the grave yard has the most valuable of it.

The group contains about twenty templates in several families: nether brick ruins, blackstone ruins, shrines, a soul fire ruin, leafy rubble and the grave yard. Each template is a separate structure set with its own spacing, so the placement data below lists them one by one.

Generation

Every ruin generates in the Nether as a surface structure. Most sets use the sixteen general Nether biomes, which include Nether Wastes, Crimson Forest, Warped Forest, Basalt Deltas, Blackstone Basin, Crystalline Chasm, Erupting Inferno, Undergrowth, Visceral Heap, Mycotoxic Undergrowth, Infernal Holt and Glistering Meadow, among others. The circle blackstone ruin and the grave yard use the soul biomes instead: Soul Sand Valley, Withered Abyss and Black Ice Glaciers.

Spacing is the main factor in how often a ruin appears. Most sets are spaced 104 to 152 chunks apart. The grave yard is the exception at 63 chunks, which makes it the most frequent ruin in the pack. The spacing values are in-game values after the pack's Sparse Structures tuning, and they are listed in the placement data at the end of the page. Some sets share one placement slot. The two shrines split one slot in half, the four very small blackstone ruins each take a quarter, and the three very small nether brick ruins each take a third.

Ruins are fitted to the surrounding terrain. The pack's overlap guard applies to them: if a larger structure from another set would overlap a ruin's footprint, the ruin is skipped. Other Nether structure sets from the same mod are covered on Moog's Nether Landmarks, Moog's Nether Arenas, Moog's Nether Bridges and Moog's Nether Houses and Wells.

Layout

The ruins fall into a few families, and most of their blocks are cracked or broken variants of their full-block equivalents.

• Nether brick ruins (circle, large, small and very small nether brick): red and plain nether brick with cracked nether bricks, stairs, slabs and walls. Some have crimson planks or trapdoors. The circle ruin also contains a few ancient debris and nether gold ore blocks. The large variant is 22 by 9 by 10 blocks, and the small variant is 10 by 8 by 11.
• Blackstone ruins (medium blackstone, large blackstone pillars, large blackstone walls and four very small blackstone ruins): polished blackstone bricks with cracked bricks, slabs, stairs and walls. The pillars ruin is the largest in the group at 13 by 11 by 13 blocks. The large wall is a single 20 by 10 by 5 block wall. The very small variants are only a few blocks each.
• Circle blackstone ruin: a 15 by 6 by 18 ring of polished blackstone, deepslate bricks and soul sand. It is the only ruin with wither roses, about seven of them, and it also has soul fire, a few skeleton skulls and soul soil.
• Shrines (shrine and smoking shrine): the shrine is a small 5 by 5 by 9 structure of mossy cobblestone, gold blocks, nether gold ore and redstone torches. The smoking shrine is larger at 13 by 9 by 13, built from polished blackstone with soul campfires, chains and soul torches. It contains five blocks of lava.
• Soul fire ruin: a tall, 10 by 15 by 9 structure of deepslate bricks and polished deepslate, with soul sand, a soul fire block and several magma blocks and copper trapdoors.
• Leafy rubble: deepslate tiles and mossy cobblestone overgrown with mangrove roots. It also has gilded blackstone and a few magma blocks.
• Grave yard: an 18 by 8 by 10 walled enclosure with soul soil and soul sand across the floor, soul lanterns, polished blackstone walls and a few skeleton skulls. It also has barrels and is the ruin that uses the treasure loot table.

Inhabitants

None of the ruins places mobs or spawners in its template, so the only creatures at a ruin are the ones that spawn naturally in its biome. The grave yard is the one ruin marked as a horror structure, and its spacing is much tighter than the rest of the group.

Loot

The grave yard has the best loot in the group. Its treasure table includes a Smithing Template at 100%, followed by ancient debris at 40% and a netherite ingot at 39%. Its uncommon table is mostly Arcane Essence at 74%, with arrows, gilded blackstone and gold nuggets. The circle blackstone ruin uses a houses table with Arcane Essence at 72% and scrolls at 32%. The full loot tables follow.

Tips

Bring armor and food before exploring, since the ruins are spread across many dangerous Nether biomes. Stay away from the wither roses in the circle blackstone ruin, and walk around the magma blocks in the soul fire ruin and the leafy rubble, because standing on magma damages the player. The smoking shrine's lava sits among its soul campfires, so check the footing before moving through it. The grave yard's treasure table is the most valuable loot in the group, and its smithing templates are covered on Smithing and Gear Upgrades.
