YUNG's Extras in All the Mods 10

YUNG's Extras is a collection of small upgrades to vanilla Minecraft that are each too small to be their own mod, but together act as a finishing touch for a modpack. It adds extra structures, features and vanilla+ content, and it is described as very lightweight with minimal performance impact.^[1]

What it adds

• Desert Decorations: new and improved Desert Wells (including rare Wishing Wells that may have some treasure at the bottom), Desert Obelisks and Flame Outposts, plus more.^[1]
• Swamp Structures: lots of ruins, ancient pillars and a few very rare easter egg structures.^[1]

The mod is meant to be compatible with every worldgen mod, including YUNG's Better Desert Temples, Better Ocean Monuments, Better Mineshafts, Better Strongholds, Witch Huts and Bridges. Its author says it will keep getting content updates over time.^[1]

In this pack

The pack ships YUNG's Extras 1.21.1-NeoForge-5.1.1, and it has been in the pack since All the Mods 10 1.0 or earlier.^[2]

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

Here's the honest starting point: YUNG's Extras is mostly about things you find in the world, not things you craft. The project page describes it as a collection of structures, features and vanilla+ upgrades that finish off a modpack. So there's no crafting order to follow first.^[1]

What to do first: explore

The best first step is to go exploring and look for the structures the mod adds. The project page lists these as the main content so far.^[1]

• Desert content: new and improved desert wells, desert obelisks and flame outposts.^[1]
• Wishing wells: a rare desert well variant that may have some treasure at the bottom, so check any unusual well you come across.^[1]
• Swamp structures: lots of ruins and ancient pillars, plus a few very rare easter egg structures.^[1]

Works alongside other worldgen mods

The mod is intended to be fully compatible with every worldgen mod. The project page names YUNG's Better Desert Temples, Better Ocean Monuments, Better Mineshafts, Better Strongholds, Witch Huts and Bridges as examples. If you see those structures in your world, they sit happily alongside the extras.^[1]

What I can't confirm for this pack

Unverified I couldn't confirm any crafting recipes, quests, config options or item descriptions for this mod in this pack, so there are no recipes to show here. How common each structure is in this pack, and what loot you'll find, is also unverified.

This one is different from most mods in the pack: nothing in the sources describes machines, multiblocks, power, fluids or item automation for YUNG's Extras. What the mod does is add small structures and features to world generation, so the core mechanics are really about where and how those get placed.^[1][3][4]

How the structures get added

Both the desert and swamp content are added with biome modifiers that insert features during the surface_structures generation step. Each modifier points at a biome tag, and that tag decides which biomes can get the structures.^[3][4][5][6]

Desert decorations

The desert modifier applies to the plain desert biome. It also covers biomes that other mods put in the desert tags, plus the lush desert biomes from Terralith and from the biomesoplenty namespace, and desert shrubland and verdant sands from Project Vibrant Journeys. Those extra entries are optional, so they only count when the matching mod is installed.^[3][5]

• Desert wells in small, medium and large sizes.^[3]
• Dry wells in the same small, medium and large sizes.^[3]
• Wishing wells in the same small, medium and large sizes. The mod's project page says these are rare and may have treasure at the bottom.^[1][3]
• Obelisk variants: the standard one, a creeper one, a ruined one and a rare one.^{[3][7][8][9][10]}
• A giant torch, a ruins feature and a chillzone, each with its own custom feature type.^{[3][11][12][13]}

Each well variant uses the same well feature type, and the config gives it a template location and a radius. Normal and dry wells use a radius of 1 for small, 2 for medium and 3 for large. All three wishing wells use a radius of 1.^{[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]}

The obelisks work a bit differently. They share one obelisk feature type, and each variant just points at its own structure template.^{[7][8][9][10]}

Vanilla desert wells are removed

The mod ships a second biome modifier that removes the vanilla desert well from the surface_structures step. It uses the same list of desert biomes as the decorations tag. So in those biomes you should see the mod's wells in place of the vanilla one.^[5][23][24]

Swamp structures

The swamp modifier applies to swamp and mangrove swamp, plus any biomes that other mods add to the swamp tags.^[4][6]

• Pillars, in several numbered variants.^[4]
• Cubbies, in several numbered variants. Each one points at its own template location.^[4][25][26]
• Arches, in several numbered variants, each with its own template location.^[4][27][28]
• Double arches, which are the largest group of swamp variants and use their own double arch feature type.^[4][29][30]
• Two miscellaneous features: a swamp church and a swamp ogre.^[4]

The project page describes the swamp update as lots of ruins, ancient pillars and a few very rare easter egg structures. It also says the mod is meant to work with other worldgen mods, including the other YUNG's structure mods, and has minimal performance impact.^[1]

Unverified How often each structure spawns, and how far apart they generate, is not confirmed by the available sources. The pack also has no config files for this mod to adjust it.

This mod doesn't give you a tier ladder to climb. What its files show in this pack is world generation: small structures and loot you stumble on while exploring deserts and swamps. Think of it as a bonus to find, not a stage to unlock.^{[5][6][31][32][33]}

Where the structures appear

• Desert decorations (the ruins, obelisks, giant torch and chillzone) are set to generate in the vanilla desert, plus other desert biomes from other mods when those are present, such as Terralith's and Biomes O' Plenty's lush deserts and Project Vibrant Journeys' desert shrubland and verdant sands.^[5]
• Swamp structures are set to generate in the swamp and the mangrove swamp, plus any biomes tagged as swamps by other mods.^[6]
• The mod also has a tag for its own desert wells, using the same list of desert biomes as the decorations.^[24]

What you can find in the desert

The desert has several obelisk variants: a regular one, a creeper one, a rare one and a ruined one. There is also a giant torch, a ruins feature and a chillzone.^{[7][8][9][10][11][12][13]}

Wells come in small, medium and large sizes, with radii of 1, 2 and 3. Each size has a normal and a dry version.^{[14][15][16][17][18][19]}

Loot to look for

The desert ruins chest is mostly Sand, but it can also give you Gold Ingot, Wheat and an Emerald. Sand is by far the most likely roll.^[33]

The chillzone chest is mostly water potions, with some Cookie mixed in. Nice for a snack, but nothing that moves your progression forward.^[31]

The mod's desert archaeology loot table gives a single roll and can produce Diamond, Emerald or Gold Ingot.^[32]

All the Mods 10 8.2 ships YUNG's Extras version 5.1.1 for NeoForge 1.21.1. The mod has been in the pack since All the Mods 10 1.0 or earlier, so you have had it for the whole run of the pack. The pack changelogs have no entries for this mod, so everything below comes from the mod's own changelogs.^[2]

Mod changelogs

• 5.1.0: the mod was ported to 1.21.1. Spawn rates for all swamp structures were drastically reduced, and all structure NBT files were updated.^[34]
• 5.1.1: the minimum version requirements were lowered, so the mod works on both 1.21 and 1.21.1. This is the version the pack uses.^[2][35]

If you explore swamps, the 5.1.0 change is the one you will notice most: its swamp structures are much rarer than before. The changelog does not give exact spawn rate numbers, so I can't tell you how much rarer.^[34]
