Sunken Spires is a Java data pack that scatters the remains of a futuristic prismarine civilization across the ocean. It adds 11 structures with several variants, from a colosseum to a trial chamber, and needs no mod loader. The structures use vanilla blocks, so it suits both single-player worlds and servers.
Supported versions
- Minecraft 1.20 to 1.21.10.
