Overview
YUNG's Better Ocean Monuments is a Java mod created by YUNGNICKYOUNG. It redesigns ocean monuments in Minecraft.
Vanilla ocean temples have stayed the same for years. This mod replaces the standard layout with a completely redesigned structure. The project is categorized under Adventure, Building & Decoration, and World Generation on Modrinth. It changes how the monument generates in deep water, giving you a fresh structure to explore during underwater expeditions.
Server requirements and client setup
The setup rules for this mod are straightforward. It's a server-side mod.
Server installation is required. In contrast, client-side installation is unsupported. You don't install this mod into your local client mod folder when joining a remote server. The server handles all structure generation logic on its own during chunk generation. When you host a multiplayer game or run a dedicated server, you install the mod jar on that server. When you play singleplayer, the game runs an internal server in the background, so the mod works there too.
Supported mod loaders
If you want to run this project, you need an admitted mod loader. The author supports two loaders:
- Fabric
- Neoforge
Other loaders are not listed in the official project record. Make sure your server environment is configured for either Fabric or Neoforge before adding the mod jar.
Compatible Minecraft versions
You can only use this mod on specific supported game versions. The evidence lists five distinct Minecraft releases:
- 1.21
- 1.21.1
- 1.21.4
- 26.1.1
- 26.1.2
Never assume compatibility with unlisted versions between or outside these releases. Here's the thing, world generation code changes across updates, so matching the exact version number is necessary for stability.
Project licensing
The mod is distributed under an open-source software license. Specifically, it uses the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. This license sets the terms for how users and developers can inspect, distribute, or modify the project code.
