5 best Minecraft mods for new structures in 2022

Structures are one of the best parts of Minecraft. Finding a village is really beneficial and exploring a Woodland Mansion is exciting. The existing structures that crafters can find are great, as Mojang has done an excellent job setting up this aspect of the game.

There is, however, always room for more. Minecraft can always have more structures to explore, like dungeons, abandoned buildings, and others. This is one thing gamers ask Mojang for every time there is an announced update.

Perhaps the 1.20 update will add a new structure, but if not, there are plenty of excellent mods that can help fix that issue. Here are some examples to check out for Java Edition.

Minecraft mods that players who love structures should try out

5) YUNG's Better Mineshafts

There are plenty of really unique and high-quality generated structures in Minecraft already. Woodland Mansions, villages, Pillager Outposts and more are all really good. Mineshafts are also very good. This mod, rather than introducing a bunch of new structures, prioritizes revamping one that can use: mineshafts.

Mineshafts are already mysterious and fun, but this mod makes them a lot more enjoyable to find. They are a little less frustrating to explore, too.

Bridges are fun to build. They can be simple, complex, creative or not. What would make them even more fun is if they were a generated structure. When Minecraft gamers are exploring and they come across a chasm or body of water, they might have to bridge across.

With this mod, they do not have to, and they can have the joy of seeing something previously unseen in the game.

The mod does not stop there, though. To entice players to use it even more, the creators introduced new blocks that could be used to build with.
