Remnants

A vanilla-style mod focusing on the introduction of a sprawling new structure: the Remnants.

Requires Trailier Tales

The Remnants is a new, large-scale structure (akin in scale to something like a Trial Chambers or Stronghold, potentially a bit larger), which comes in 3 variants - Andesite, Diorite and Granite.

Much like my other projects, Remnants focuses on upholding the core stylistic design of the vanilla game.

Structure

Remnants generate in the stone layers in most underground biomes. The structure has a theme mixed between Strongholds, Dungeons and Trial Chambers in some ways.

The structure has a unique theme around redstone, contrasing the Trial Chamber's copper bulb lighting with a unique interconnected redstone circuit which you can activate in certain areas to turn on the redstone lamps for the structure in entirely randomly-generated segments at a time.

Enjoy a clash of Stronghold-type exploration and mystery alongside Combat Rooms where you can test your skill against Trial Spawners in order to get unique vault loot using the new Remnant and Ominous Remnant Keys.

The Remnants also have many unique secrets to discover and mechanics to learn - thanks to its utilisation of the new Surveyor block found in Trailier Tales alongside more traditional puzzles which may lead to hidden chests or even entire secret rooms!

A stone brick well now generates on the surface above a Remnants when in forest biomes, to signify its presence (v1.1+).

Variants

Each variant contains the same 50-ish core possible rooms, however with differently accented brick palettes, and different Trial Spawner mobs.

Default - Zombies, Skeletons, Spiders

Andesite - Husks replace Zombies

Diorite - Strays replace Skeletons

Granite - Cave Spiders replace Spiders

Rooms

While I won't list every structure room individually, I will outline the overall categories.

Great Hall - every structure has a Great Hall, through which the structure generates out of

Great Hall Rooms - side rooms in the Great Hall have 3 variants - a sleeping quarter, a preparation room and a power room.

Small Halls - there are many variations of hallways in the structure, with different shapes, sizes and even puzzles

Small Rooms - besides hallways you may find small rooms, filled with puzzles, loot or even trial spawners

Jail Cells - you'll find 3 variations of Jail Cells - the Tannery, Storeroom or regular old Cell

Grand Halls - larger hallways found more rarely, adjacent to these you'll find the Combat Rooms

Combat Rooms - large rooms centred on combat, much like the Trial Chambers. Each room has a unique mechanic involving redstone to make your fights more interesting. There are 5 dedicated Combat Rooms that may spawn in a given structure

Miscellanous Rooms - as you explore the structure, you'll find many other types of rooms, often with their own secrets or lore behind them - make sure to search the structure thoroughly!

Secret Rooms - not going to spoil these here, but know that there are 3 of them to find! Totally unrelated fun fact - did you know that Lecterns can be used to activate redstone?

The Great Library - the most elusive place in the entire mod and even game. It has a low chance of replacing the Great Hall as the starting room (and has its own side rooms and hidden secrets, too). While very rare, the scale of the Great Library is not to be underestimated, and nor is the loot which is found within.

There are a total of 171 structure NBTs in the mod, or 57 if you don't include the 3 alternate variants of the core structure.

Loot

No exploration-combat-hybrid structure like this would be complete without loot! In addition to many useful items found in vanilla, Remnants also contain some new items exclusive to this mod.
