> A community-refreshed re-release. Original by lukidonu — now updated & maintained by darkstarworks.

New Strongholds to uncover and conquer — bigger, more varied, and more dangerous than the cramped vanilla layout, giving that end-game trek a proper payoff.

> Works great with (https://modrinth.com/plugin/bettertrialchambers):** these strongholds include trial spawners and trial vaults, so you can pair the pack with TCP (+ its premium modules) to snapshot, protect, auto-reset and manage each one just like a vanilla Trial Chamber — turning it into renewable, multiplayer-friendly loot content.

## What's new in v1. 2 - Overhauled weathering — cracked and mossy stone brick throughout, with the occasional silverfish-infested brick hidden in the walls

## Why this re-release?

The original was created by (https://modrinth.com/user/lukidonu)**, who has since discontinued all of their projects ("Projects are discontinued #RIP").
