[@That_OneGuy46]

They should definitely add a [GUARANTEED TO SPAWN] structure with swamp villagers acting as a villager prison. Once you've killed all the witches you can release the imprisoned villagers back into the village, instead of needing to transport them over. + Having wandering trades be more likely to spawn at taverns, along with better trades.

hey there, creator of dungeons and taverns. The desert ruin not being exiting was due to the entire desert temple in the center being buried as I wanted to surprise player with an fake desert temple. I'll actually put the entire thing above ground next update lmao. the Illager Hideout actually did base as framework for the DnT Stronghold overhaul (separate data pack from DnT). like there are 5 more DnT related data packs with structure overhauls that actually replace vanilla structures each really fun video showcasing the datapack though! 👍

[@avandorhu-3389]

Gonna be interesting to see. Had one of the desert ruins spawn on a desert island right next to spawn. Took me several IRL days to excavate fully

[@therealgamewizerd]

instead of making the whole thing above ground, you could leave it mostly buried as it is now but generate an archeological dig site nearby or make some of the sand fall when the player goes into the structure's upper section so that the player realizes there's more under the surface. I'm sure there are plenty of other ways to suggest that the player should dig and explore the ruins under the surface instead of making the whole thing generate above ground. Great datapack overall, though! Feels very vanilla in a modern way

[@switchgeer6519]

Honestly, i think it'd be fun to just have singular houses occasionally scattered about in a world. regular ones would have 1 to 4 villagers, and there would be a chance the house would be abandoned like the zombie villages that the base game has. I also think a black burnt wood would be cool, and that village structures had a small chance spawning burnt.

[@luis-sophus-8227]

Way too alive

[@gardenerguy2.065]

Think it would be better if those types of house were generated nearby villages and not just at random in the world. Villagers don't feel like the type to make a singular house far away from a settlment. Wandering traders however, would make more sense. On a smaller scale of course.

[@thelonestar_0336]

[@lasercraft32]

Exploring to find structures which have maps to lead you to MORE structures is such a neat gameplay loop, basically expanding on the concept of maps found in shipwrecks in vanilla.

[@3NTR4PT4]

Friendly witches sound REALLY COOL THOUGH. like imagine a different trading/bartering system where u can pay them to brew potions and its twice as fast or something, like a blaze powder-less brewing option. Imagine curing witches like zombie villagers or making a special healing concoction that can bring them back from Pillagerization or something, idk

[@kyu9148]

[@sbboh-kcin]

5:05 yeah it was hard to track down my world's desert ruins from a map i found at a tavern. mine was only a mere 68k blocks away... thank goodness for the /locate structure command

[@jerrettneandermeier9091]

I suggest checking out some of the data packs made by Whimzee on youtube, like the jungle “update” or pillager “update” the structures definitely feel slightly less vanilla but still minecraft-like and i bet it’d add yet another dimension to the exploration if you were to do a survival world with this data pack (P.S. I’m not sure how much the creator cares about other creators using the data packs, if they care at all, or how well the data packs would work together with all of the different structures spawning in, but it’d make for a really freaking cool series to just conquer all of the different types of structures and dungeons and beat all of the bosses those datapacks add. ) Great video mate I’m loving the MC channel so far !

[@may0nnaisecake]

i really appreciate the integrated subtitles, it helps so so so much!

[@Ajryen]

My one structure that I would love to see in minecraft would be a villager city/kingdom. This pack almost hits that same cord with the amount of stuff it has. I'd just love to be exploring some distant lands one day and on the horizon I'd see a castle, walls, and tons of houses.

[@novaember9990]

[@hippityhoppitygetoffmyprop]

Yeah.. with how amazing this stuff is made by much smaller teams, I’m really starting to think Mojang is lazy. And uncaring for what the minecraft community genuinely wants. This stuff is incredible.

[@Adewayy]

If you actually took time to read a tweet made by one of the most famous Minecraft devs then you would know that the process to make an official update takes an enormous amount of time. That and you don't know how much time it took for this data pack to be made.

[@finboror]

The most likely reason Mojang is so slow is because having too many cooks spoils the broth. A solo developer or a small team could be just "hey wouldn't it be cool if we added this?" and then just go ahead and do it in a week or two. However, in Mojang and other big studios, it's like Creative director or a game designer has an idea → game designers debate whether it's even a good idea that fits in the game → concept artists draw their visions on the feature → programmer codes the first iteration of the feature → creative director checks it out and gives feedback → repeat the whole chain until the vision is realised and the feature is fun enough Not to mention all of the needless bureaucracy and the fact that you have to work with the bedrock developers too at the same time. They're probably not lazy, just that their system is inefficient and incredibly convoluted.

[@Adewayy]

@@finboror yep, kingbdogz kinda confirmed what you said. Not to mention that collaboration between programmers makes the work load easier but they have to all come together and make sure the code is readable by everyone.

[@hippityhoppitygetoffmyprop]

@@Adewayy dude.. it doesn't take a scientist to realise these fan made data packs have taken a significantly shorter amount of time, made by significantly less people, so much sooner than 3 years. im not ignoring the fact that it takes longer cause they're a bigger company who have to do things in a more professional manner either though.

[@Adewayy]

@@hippityhoppitygetoffmyprop it also doesn't take a scientist to realize that the process for making an update for company made games take substantially more time. Much of the staff at Mojang are literally ex-minecraft mod developers. And again, look at the tweet made by kindbdogz made on the subject. Don't criticize Mojang for being lazy, especially if you aren't a developer yourself.

Acctually! The Undead Crypt is often found on the surface (it has an entrance) and while mining underground. I found many of them in many different worlds.

[@etfoltz]

This seriously sparks something in me that mojang hasn’t sparked in a long time.

[@beanedtea]

I don't exactly think we need to overpopulate the world with structures. Mojang desparately needs to add the villages for the swamp and jungle biomes. I also think the surface stronghold entraces would be a great idea because it makes surface exploration much more rewarding. Beyond that, I think many of the structures in this datapack just overclutter the game with structures that don't have much value overrall. With end cities, bastions, ancient cities, and trial chambers, Mojang added reason to their existence such as elytras, shulker shells, smithing templates, swiftsneak, and maces. With this datapack, all there is to find is "loot," which is very vague and unrewarding compared to the vanilla structures. In the vanilla game, the small structures like desert temples and pillager outposts give the player a random assortment of loot, but the player doesn't have to diverge from their exploration too much to get the meaningless loot. That just gives all the more reason to add exclusive items to the larger structures. So that the player has a real reason to go on these self-imposed side quests in their exploration.

[@brawler8839]

Agreed. Frankly im kinda tired of the "vanilla friendly" shit. I want some deranged shit that will completely warp the game. Like the old crazy craft mod packs.
