Dungeons and Taverns is a Minecraft data pack from NovaWostra that adds vanilla-styled structures meant to blend into the world, from fire watch towers and taverns to badland miner outposts and illager hideouts. It ships as a plain data pack for Java Edition 1.19 to 26.3, and as mod jars for Fabric and Forge (1.19 to 26.3) and NeoForge (1.21 to 26.3). The newest build is 6.0.2. It is Java only, so Bedrock cannot load it.

Questions about Dungeons and Taverns.
5 questions
How do I install Dungeons and Taverns?
Download the file for your Minecraft version from Modrinth. As a data pack, add it to your world or server as a data pack. As a mod, put the Fabric, Forge or NeoForge jar in your mods folder and launch with that loader.
Does Dungeons and Taverns work on Bedrock?
No. It is a Java Edition data pack and mod. Modrinth hosts Java content, and Bedrock uses a different format that cannot load these files. Java players can use the data pack route with no mod loader, or a Fabric, Forge or NeoForge jar.
Do players need to install it on a multiplayer server?
No. The server needs the pack or mod, and clients are optional. The only client-side extra is the resource pack for the custom key textures. On the data pack route you install that separately, while the mod jars include it.
Which Minecraft versions does Dungeons and Taverns support?
The data pack and the Fabric and Forge builds cover 1.19 to 26.3. NeoForge builds cover 1.21 to 26.3. The newest build is 6.0.2. Pick the file that matches your exact Minecraft version, since older builds can differ in requirements.
Does Dungeons and Taverns need Fabric API?
Not in the newest build. Only the data pack build for 1.19 to 1.19.4 and the Fabric builds for 1.20 to 1.20.2 list Fabric API as required. Forge and NeoForge builds need no dependency, and neither does the plain data pack on later versions.
