The Towny and Village datapack, also shipped as a mod, changes village generation into miniature cities. It runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for Java, and as a plain datapack with no loader at all. The host of a multiplayer world needs it; players who join can go without.
What it generates
Five structure types appear in plains, birch forest, taiga and desert biomes. Every structure is assembled from jigsaw blocks, so room layouts vary and houses get different exterior decorations. The world picks the variation, not you.
- USSR city: dense Soviet panel houses, factories, stores, monuments, fountains, flowerbeds and parks. Find one with /locate ussr_medium_mix.
- Europe city: medieval-style architecture, small stores, fountains and markets, no factories. Find one with /locate europe.
- Saman village: poor, cramped houses with a few small businesses and monuments.
- Greek village: birch and calcite houses with small stalls, set in birch forest.
- Pyramid: ancient treasure behind obstacles and traps, with clues that only partly survive.
Installing the mod or the datapack
For the mod route, pick the file for your loader and Java release, then drop it into the mods folder. Our guides cover Fabric and Forge and NeoForge, and the general steps are in installing mods on Java. The datapack route needs no loader and covers 1.21.5 to 26.2.
Fabric covers 1.19 to 26.2, NeoForge 1.20.2 to 26.2 and Forge 1.19 to 26.1.2. The newest releases need no extra dependency. Older Fabric files for 1.20 to 1.21.7 require one Modrinth library, project P7dR8mSH.
Trade-offs
It changes village generation into city generation, and the structures are produced on the host side, so a server without it will not generate them. The creator runs a Discord for the project.

Questions about kogtyv-Towny and Village.
4 questions
How do I install Towny and Village?
Choose the mod file that matches your loader and Java release, put it in the mods folder and start the loader profile. If you prefer no loader, use the plain datapack, which covers 1.21.5 to 26.2. Older Fabric files for 1.20 to 1.21.7 also need one Modrinth library.
Does Towny and Village work in multiplayer?
Yes. It is required on the host side of a multiplayer world, because the structures generate there. Players who join do not have to install it, since the client side is optional.
How do I find the cities in my world?
Use the locate command. Run /locate ussr_medium_mix for the Soviet-style city or /locate europe for the medieval-style city. Structures spawn in plains, birch forest, taiga and desert biomes.
Does Towny and Village work on Quilt?
Only on old releases. Quilt files stop at 1.20.1 and were last updated in June 2024. Current releases target Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, plus a loader-free datapack.
