📋 About This Mod
This datapack, ported to the mod loaders Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, replaces the vanilla mineshaft and vanilla mesa mineshafts with jigsaw structures which overhaul the dirt room, add a mainline mineshaft and sideline mineshafts, side rooms, caved in mineshaft tunels, storage rooms, and ore deposits.
It additionally adds mineshafts to the jagged and snowy peaks the stoney peaks and any surface biome (this one spawns very rare, about as rare as woodland mansions, if they could spawn in any biome)
Each Mineshaft version has a specific Ore type they replace 1% of all the stone/deepslate they tunnel through.
Which Mineshaft generates what ore?
Normal Mineshafts: Iron Mesa Mineshafts: Gold Jagged Mineshafts: Redstone Stoney Mineshafts: Emeralds Surface Mineshafts: Coal
Known Issues
Due to the limitation of it being a jigsaw structure, they cant dynamically adabt to where within a cave they spawn, and will only generate wooden supports, never chains. this may cause some visual issues that look quite uncanny. my deepest regrets for this. It is also limited by not being able to not generate through water and stone aquifiers. for that case it will still burrow through them, but create a stone shell The Mineshafts that spawn in the mountains, surface and Mesa , do not generate bridges, wich can cause floating rails to generate, and Minecart chests don't spawn in them, otherwise they would just float mid air and fall down.
I still hope this is an enjoyable experience despite Jigsaw Structures Shortcommings
