YUNG's Better Jungle Temples in All the Mods 10

YUNG's Better Jungle Temples is a worldgen mod that completely redesigns Minecraft's jungle temples from the ground up. You get a brand new temple design, plus traps, puzzles and new loot, so exploring a jungle temple is a proper adventure instead of a quick loot grab.^[1]

Version in this pack

The pack ships YUNG's Better Jungle Temples 1.21.1-NeoForge-3.1.2. It has been in the pack since All the Mods 10 1.0 or earlier, so it is a long-standing part of the modpack's world generation.^[2]

Compatibility

The mod has optional built-in compatibility with a few other mods. If one of them is installed, certain parts of the temple have a chance of spawning using special pieces. The project page lists Create, Supplementaries, Alex's Mobs and Pick Your Poison, with Alex's Mobs marked as Forge only and Pick Your Poison as Fabric 1.19.2 only. None of these mods is required to use Better Jungle Temples.^[1]

The mod is also intended to be fully compatible with every worldgen mod, and the project page names YUNG's Ocean Monuments, YUNG's Better Nether Fortresses and YUNG's Extras as examples.^[1]

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

Good news: there's nothing you need to craft first. YUNG's Better Jungle Temples is a world generation mod. It completely redesigns Minecraft's jungle temples with a new layout, traps, puzzles and loot, so your first step is to go out and find one.^[1]

I couldn't find any in-pack recipes or quests for this mod's items, so there are no recipe blocks in this section. I'd rather tell you that than make something up.^[1]

Your first steps

1. Explore jungle biomes to look for a temple. The mod redesigns the temples from the ground up, so expect something very different from the vanilla one.^[1]
2. Go in carefully. The redesigned temples include traps and puzzles, and the loot is part of the redesign too.^[1]
3. Look out for special temple pieces. If certain other mods are installed, parts of the temple have a chance of spawning using special pieces. The mod lists Create and Supplementaries among them, and the feature is optional.^[1]

Config options worth knowing

The mod has a general option that controls whether vanilla jungle temples are disabled. It also has a compatibility option for whether Pick Your Poison poison darts spawn in the temples.^[3]

Unverified This pack's actual settings for these options (whether vanilla jungle temples are disabled, and which compatibility pieces are active) are not confirmed by the available sources. Check the config in your own instance.

This one is different from most mods in the pack: the sources show no machines, multiblocks, power, fluids or item automation here. YUNG's Better Jungle Temples is a worldgen mod, so its mechanics are about how the temple is placed and assembled. Here is what the mod's data files tell us.^[1][4]

Where temples generate

Better Jungle Temples uses the same biomes as the vanilla jungle temple. Its biome tag points at the vanilla jungle temple biome list, so if a biome could hold a vanilla temple, it can hold this one.^[5]

Placement is spaced out. The structure set uses a spacing of 24 and a separation of 8, and it has a single structure entry with a weight of 1.^[6]

The mod also keeps clear of vanilla temples. Its structure set has an exclusion zone of 4 chunks around the vanilla jungle temple structure set, so they shouldn't pile up on top of each other.^[6][7]

There is also a general option, with the tooltip "Whether vanilla Jungle Temples should be disabled". The pack has no config file for this mod, so I can't tell you how this pack sets it.^[3]

How a temple is built

The temple is a jigsaw structure from the YUNG's API library. It generates in the surface structures step, starts from the pool called starts at a jigsaw named anchor, and has a size of 10. Pieces can reach up to 128 from the center.^[4]

The start is projected onto the world surface heightmap, then placed at a random absolute height between -30 and -25. Terrain adaptation is turned off, and the liquid setting is ignore_waterlogging.^[4]

The structure also defines empty spawn lists for monsters, creatures and ambient mobs, so it adds no mob spawn overrides of its own.^[4]

Rooms and variety

Each temple is assembled from template pools, and each pool picks pieces by weight. The challenge room pool has these options:^[8]

• Water parkour room, weight 2.^[8]
• Statue trade room, weight 2.^[8]
• Serpent room, weight 2.^[8]
• Emerald water room, left and right versions, weight 1 each.^[8]
• Emerald gravel room, left and right versions, weight 1 each.^[8]

The serpent room has a separate back section pool with several equally weighted variants. The emerald water rooms have a bottom section pool where each variant comes in a left and a right version, and those pieces use the waterlogging processor.^[9][10]

There is also a statue pool with these variants: azalea, bamboo, bone, candle, cocoa beans, emerald, glowberry, gold, honey, iron, moss block, watermelon and cherry blossom. Each one has a max count of 1.^[11]

Smaller pools add more variety. The first floor back room pool has equally weighted variants, and a misc pool holds a minecart piece.^[12][13]

Mod compatibility

Parts of the temple have a chance of using special pieces if certain mods are installed. The listed mods are Create, Supplementaries, Alex's Mobs (Forge only) and Pick Your Poison (Fabric 1.19.2 only). None of them are required.^[1]

The mod's settings include a toggle for whether Pick Your Poison poison darts spawn in the temples. The mod page lists that compatibility for Fabric 1.19.2 only, so don't count on it in this pack.^[1][3]

This mod is about the temples themselves and the loot inside them, so this section covers where the temples generate and what the campsite and treasure chest tables give you.^[6][14][15]

Finding the temples

The temples generate in the biomes that vanilla jungle temples use. They are a surface structure, and the structure set is set up to keep away from vanilla jungle temples, using a 4 chunk exclusion zone.^[4][5][6][7]

Placement uses a spacing of 24 and a separation of 8, so you'll want to explore jungle areas properly to find more than one.^[6]

Early loot: the campsite chest

The campsite chest is the low-stakes loot. Each chest rolls up to 3 times. The most common results are basics and junk: Bone (weight 20), Rotten Flesh (weight 16) and Bamboo (weight 15).^[14]

The more useful rolls are Iron Ingot (weight 10) and a Saddle (weight 3). The chest can also hold Iron Horse Armor, Golden Horse Armor or Diamond Horse Armor.^[14]

Better loot: the treasure chest

The treasure chest is the real prize. Its first pool rolls 1 to 3 times, choosing between Gold Ingot (weight 15) and Diamond (weight 3). Gold turns up much more often, but a diamond roll is possible, and a single diamond roll gives 1 to 3 diamonds.^[15]

A second pool rolls several times for Emerald, giving a small stack each time. That makes the treasure chest a very reliable emerald source.^[15]

All the Mods 10 8.2 ships with YUNG's Better Jungle Temples version 1.21.1-NeoForge-3.1.2. The mod has been in the pack since All the Mods 10 1.0 or earlier. The pack changelogs have no entries for this mod, so the notes below come from the mod's own changelogs.^[2]

Mod releases for 1.21.1

• 3.1.0: The port to 1.21.1. All structure NBT files were updated for it.^[17]
• 3.1.1: The minimum version requirements were lowered, so the mod works on both 1.21 and 1.21.1.^[18]
• 3.1.2: Fixed an issue where feature mixins could cause worldgen deadlocks. This is the version your pack uses.^[2][19]

The 3.1.2 fix matters for you because a worldgen deadlock can stall world generation while you explore, and this release addresses that cause.^[19]
