Moog's Wells and Fountains

Moog's Wells and Fountains is a family of small surface landmarks added by Moog's Voyager Structures. Each one is a short stone, brick or wooden structure built around a water basin, found in the Overworld, plus one variant in the Nether. Most are common and small, and only a few of them contain chests, so they are mainly waypoints and occasional loot stops rather than destinations.

Generation

All of these structures use the surface_structures generation step, the beard_thin terrain adaptation and the cannot_spawn_in_liquid rule, so they sit on dry ground. The basic wells, the small tower well and the stone fountain can generate in all 279 Overworld biomes; the biome wells are limited to the biomes listed below.

The ordinary wells form a shared pool called the other wells set. Its 14 members each have weight 1, so a placement picks one of them at random, about 1 in 14 each. These members use the same placement, with a spacing of 114 chunks and a separation of 84 chunks. The pool contains:

• the basic wells: small well, small copper well, well, rocky well and small tower well;
• the biome wells, each limited to one biome family:
  • acacia well: savanna biomes;
  • birch well: birch forest and birch taiga biomes;
  • dark oak well: dark forest and related biomes;
  • desert well: desert biomes;
  • jungle well: jungle and rainforest biomes;
  • oak well: forest biomes, with 41 biomes in total;
  • snowy well: snowy and cold biomes;
  • spruce well: taiga biomes.
• the rare well, which is also in the pool but has a separate placement of its own (see below).

Some members have their own placements in addition to the shared pool:

• Rare well: spacing 322 chunks, separation 180 chunks, placed in 279 Overworld biomes.
• Small tower well: spacing 109 chunks, separation 71 chunks. It is the only well observed in the 26 km² test sample (6 instances), and it is typically 29 by 31 by 28 blocks.
• Stone fountain: spacing 170 chunks, separation 56 chunks, placed in all 279 Overworld biomes.
• Mushroom well: spacing 398 chunks, separation 84 chunks, placed in mushroom biomes such as Mushroom Fields and Fungal Caves. This is the rarest Overworld well.
• Nether well: spacing 228 chunks, separation 142 chunks, placed in 16 Nether biomes, including Nether Wastes, Soul Sand Valley and Crimson Forest. It is the only member of this family in the Nether.

None of the other wells were observed in the test sample.

Layout

The wells are built from vanilla blocks, and their materials match their biome. The common well has a stone brick and mossy cobblestone basin with a water source, spruce planks, slabs and trapdoors, and a barrel that holds loot in one of its two variants. The biome wells use the local wood: the oak well is made of oak planks, stairs and trapdoors and has a water cauldron, a grindstone, a lantern on an iron chain and a dirt path. The small tower well stands taller than the others, with stone brick walls, spruce stairs, a lever, signs and barrels.

The rare well is the most overgrown of the family. Its upper section is covered in vines, tall grass, peonies, pink tulips, lilies of the valley and lily pads, and it is built partly from mossy stone bricks. The stone fountain is a cobblestone and stone brick basin with mossy stairs and walls, water, seagrass, lily pads and a lantern.

Several well templates have two parts: an upper section with the water basin, and a lower section that connects to it. The lower section can be generated as a version with a chest or a version without one, so two wells of the same type can differ in what they hold.

Inhabitants

The wells and fountains do not place mobs or spawners. They are empty landmarks, and any hostile mobs near them at night are ordinary Overworld spawns, which is the main hazard of approaching one in the dark.

Loot

The wells that have a chest use one of two loot tables, and the stone fountain and the small well have no chests. The table for common wells, houses_uncommon, rolls 1 to 5 times on charcoal, coal, iron ingots, bread and emeralds. The bread is the most common result, and an iron ingot stack can be 1 to 3 items.

The rare well uses houses_rare, which is the better table. It rolls 1 to 2 times on candles, cobblestone, sticks, string and gold nuggets, then 4 to 6 times on iron and gold ingots, lapis lazuli, redstone, redstone blocks, books and diamonds. Diamonds are the rarest entry in the second group, at weight 3 out of 61 per roll.

Tips

• Only the wells with a barrel or chest hold loot. Skip the lower section without a chest if you are looking for items, and check the rare well first.
• The rare well is the only well that uses the rarer table. If you need diamonds or books, it is the one worth finding.
• Wells are useful landmarks in unfamiliar terrain because they stand out from the surrounding biome, but they are small. Their spacing is wide, so they are not a reliable source of supplies.
