YUNG's Better Desert Temples is a Minecraft mod that provides a complete redesign of the game's desert temples. It enhances world generation by replacing standard temples with more intricate, rewarding, and adventurous structures.

This mod is available for Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge. It falls under the adventure, decoration, and worldgen categories.

Installing YUNG's Better Desert Temples

On AwakeNode

  1. Download the version of YUNG's Better Desert Temples for your server's software and Minecraft version from its Modrinth page.
  2. Open your server's Files tab, go to the mods folder and upload the .jar file. You can also upload it over SFTP.
  3. Restart your server from the Console tab.

On other hosts / manually

  1. Download the correct version of the mod for your loader and Minecraft version from Modrinth.
  2. Connect to your server via SFTP.
  3. Upload the .jar file to the mods folder in your server's root directory.
  4. Restart your server.

Common issues

  • Version Mismatch: Ensure the mod version matches your server's Minecraft version exactly. Using a 1.20.1 mod on a 1.21 server will cause a crash.
  • Missing Dependencies: Some YUNG mods require "YUNG's API". Check the Modrinth page to see if your specific version requires this library mod.
  • Loader Conflict: Ensure you are not trying to run a Fabric mod on a Forge server or vice versa.

Performance

YUNG's Better Desert Temples is generally lightweight and should not significantly impact your server's CPU or RAM usage. Because it modifies world generation, you may notice a slight increase in disk I/O when exploring new chunks for the first time. If you experience lag during exploration, ensure your server has sufficient RAM allocated for your player count. If you need to adjust your server's memory allocation, please contact AwakeNode support or update your plan to automatically scale your resources.

Questions

Does this mod require a world reset?+

No, the mod will generate new structures in newly loaded chunks, so it is safe to add to an existing world.

Is this mod compatible with other world generation mods?+

It is generally compatible with most mods, but you should check the mod's official page for specific known conflicts with other structure mods.

Do I need to install this on my client as well?+

Yes, if you are playing on a server, all players must have the mod installed in their local game client to match the server-side generation.

Which mod loader should I choose?+

Choose the loader that matches your existing modpack or server setup. If you are starting fresh, Fabric is often recommended for better performance, while Forge/NeoForge offers broader mod compatibility.
