Moog's Ruins and Rocks

Moog's Ruins and Rocks is a group of nine surface structures in the Overworld, added by Moog's Voyager Structures (namespace mvs). It has two kinds of member. Boulders and stone rocks are natural formations found only in taiga-type biomes. The other seven are ruins, pillars and monuments, placed in nearly every land and ocean biome. Most of them are built from a single template and hold a few chests, so they are mainly worth visiting for their loot and as landmarks.

Generation

All nine structures generate in the surface step and are placed by the moogs_structures random-spread placement. The spacing and separation values below are the in-game values for this pack, already scaled by the pack's Sparse Structures tuning.

The taiga-type biomes (the #c:is_taiga tag) include Taiga, Snowy Taiga, Old Growth Pine Taiga, Redwoods, Dead Forest, Bog and Hot Springs. Boulders and stone rocks therefore do not appear in plains or deserts. The Overworld group covers the land and ocean biomes of the Overworld.

In a 26 km² test sample, Stone Pillars was the only member seen, at about one per 26 km². No other member appeared, so the rest are rarer than that. Crystal has the largest spacing and is the rarest structure in the group.

The pack's structure overlap guard applies here. When a larger structure's footprint would overlap a smaller one, the smaller one is skipped. Other surface structures also keep a 6-chunk buffer around village spots.

Fear Nightfall's Sparse Structures tuning reduces the density of non-horror structures, so these ruins are sparser than they would be at the mod's default spacing.

Layout

Each structure is assembled from one or more pre-built templates. None of them has a gate, key or puzzle.

Boulder

A single boulder template, placed on the ground in taiga-type biomes.

Stone Rock

Six template variants of small and medium rock formations, drawn from the stone rock pool.

Castle Ruins

A single ruined castle template. It has four chest tables, the most of any member of the group.

Crystal

The deepest structure in the group, with a jigsaw depth of 2. It is built from a base template and a lower template, and it has one chest table of its own. Its loot is the richest in the group (see Loot).

Log Ruin

A single template that uses the swamp chest table, which also holds bones and rotten flesh.

Ruined Beacon

A ruined beacon template. Its pool applies the tuff_to_iron processor, which turns about 20% of the tuff blocks in the structure into raw iron blocks and about 5% into iron blocks.

Small Ruin

A single small ruin template with one chest table.

Statue Ruins

A single template with one chest table.

Stone Pillars

A tall pillar template, typically about 40 blocks wide, 34 blocks tall and 39 blocks deep. It is the most common member of the group and a visible landmark on open ground.

Inhabitants

None of the templates in this group contain placed mobs or spawners, and the structures add no spawn overrides. Enemies found near them come from the normal spawns of the surrounding biome.

Loot

Each structure's chests use the loot tables listed in the table below. Castle Ruins has the widest spread: its four tables give iron, gold and emeralds, along with bread, potatoes and apples. Crystal gives the most valuable entries, with iron and gold ingots, emeralds, diamonds and experience bottles, and a second table of lapis lazuli and nuggets. The swamp table used by the Log Ruin is the only one in the group with saddles and horse armour.

The pack maps structure chest tables to the vanilla chest they resemble and adds loot from its other mods on top, so these chests can contain more items than the tables above alone.

Tips

• Crystal is the rarest and largest structure in the group, and its chests are the richest. Plan to visit it after the smaller ruins.
• Ruined Beacons contain tuff that converts to iron blocks, which makes them a source of iron blocks.
• Stone Pillars stand out on open ground and make useful landmarks.
