What It Does
This project is a datapack designed to fix a specific generation conflict. If you're running the Big Globe mod, you likely know that it changes how the world generates. This change can prevent other structure mods from working correctly. It datapack allows YUNG's Better Desert Temples to generate properly within a Big Globe world. It acts as a compatibility layer between these two specific projects.
Compatibility and Requirements
You need to have both Big Globe and YUNG's Better Desert Temples installed for this to work. The datapack itself is the bridge that makes them talk to each other. It isn't a standalone structure mod. The result doesn't add new structures on its own. What you get only enables the existing YUNG's Better Desert Temples structures to appear in a Big Globe environment.
The project supports Minecraft versions 1.20, 1.20.1, 1.20.2, 1.21, 1.21.1, 1.21.2, and 1.21.3. It works with the Fabric mod loader or can be used as a standard datapack. The server side is required for the structures to generate. That client side is optional, meaning players joining your server don't strictly need to install this specific datapack if the server has it, though they'll need the base mods to see the structures correctly.
Important Caveats
The author, navalt, includes a specific note in the project description. At the time of creation, the author did not have access to the Big Globe Discord server. The author suggests that there may be a better or more updated datapack available on that server. You should check the Big Globe community channels before relying solely on this version. Real talk, this project is a community contribution, not an official part of either Big Globe or YUNG's Better Desert Temples.
Who This Is For
This is for players who want a specific combination of mods. You want the massive, spherical world generation of Big Globe. Anyone also want the improved desert temple structures from YUNG's Better Desert Temples. If you aren't using both of these mods, this datapack will not do anything for you. It's a niche compatibility tool. It solves one specific problem: making two popular mods work together without breaking structure generation.
Installation Context
The evidence doesn't provide specific installation steps. You'll need to install the datapack into your world's datapack folder or use a mod loader that supports datapacks. Since it is listed as a datapack, it likely follows standard Minecraft datapack installation procedures. However, because it's tied to specific mods, ensure your mod versions are compatible with the Minecraft version you're playing. The license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 International, which restricts commercial use of the datapack itself.
