ABOUT
Moog's Mineshafts Reimagined adds a new, better type of abandoned mineshaft alongside Minecraft's vanilla ones, without replacing them. These hand-built versions are larger and made entirely from vanilla blocks and entities. Each is a complex, randomly generating jigsaw structure of connected tunnels and rooms packed with loot, mob spawners, and interesting rooms. It works in any modpack and does not change how the rest of the game looks or plays.
A different mineshaft generates depending on the biome above it.
REQUIRED
This mod needs Moog's Structure Lib installed on the server.
FEEDBACK
If you have an idea to improve the mineshafts, leave a comment or post it in the Discord. All feedback is welcome.
STRUCTURES
- Mineshaft (taiga and similar overworld biomes), 50 pieces. The base reimagined mineshaft: branching tunnels, support framing, and loot rooms.
- Desert Mineshaft, 55 pieces. Generates under deserts. Sandstone tunnels with above ground paths, a quarry, an archaeology dig with suspicious sand, a stable, and a vault and trial spawner room.

STRUCTURES
- Mineshaft (taiga and similar overworld biomes), 50 pieces. The base reimagined mineshaft: branching tunnels, support framing, and loot rooms.
- Desert Mineshaft, 55 pieces. Generates under deserts. Sandstone tunnels with above ground paths, a quarry, an archaeology dig with suspicious sand, a stable, and a vault and trial spawner room.
- Jungle Mineshaft, 43 pieces. Generates under jungles. Overgrown tunnels with a brewing room, a furnace that opens a hidden door, and a staircase down into the network.
- Mesa Mineshaft, 34 pieces. Generates under badlands. A wide spreading network of badlands themed tunnels, corners, and staircases that reaches further across the map than the other mineshafts.
- Snowy Mineshaft, 34 pieces. Generates under snowy biomes. A spread out network of frozen tunnels, corners, and staircases linking the levels.
- Nether Mineshaft, 41 pieces. Generates in the nether. Tunnels reworked to fit the nether, with a mess hall, a TNT trapped corner, a start room, and a rare warden corridor that appears at most once per mineshaft.
Each mineshaft is a jigsaw structure, so the layout and which rooms appear changes every time one generates. Loot ranges from common supply barrels up to rarer treasure chests and vaults, with several themed variants of each so chests differ between rooms.

[1.1.0] Moog's Mineshafts Reimagined 1.1.0-1.20+ [UNIVERSAL]
by FinnDog_123 on Oct 21, 2026
Download
### Added
### Changed
### Fixed
- Three new mineshafts: the dark oak mineshaft, the mushroom mineshaft and the deep dark mineshaft
- Villagers now have a mix of jobs, including unemployed villagers, nitwits and children, and new trades every time
- Armour stands in the regular mineshaft now wear random armour
- Structure preview links in Moog's Structure Lib's config screen
- Mineshafts now sometimes generate entirely underground, with no entrance on the surface
- The mesa mineshaft now sometimes has a surface entrance, with a trial room, a trapped chest and armour stands in gold armour
- An option in Moog's Structure Lib's config screen that replaces vanilla mineshafts with Moog's
- With it on, some chests hold vanilla mineshaft loot, so loot added by other mods shows up there too
- Advancements for discovering each kind of mineshaft, and a challenge for finding them all
### Changed
- Horses, donkeys, parrots and villagers look different every time a mineshaft generates
- Mineshafts have fewer mobs standing around in them
- Spawners in the regular mineshaft now spawn skeletons
- Every structure has been rebuilt for each Minecraft version it supports, fixing a range of small visual and loading problems
- Mineshaft tunnels no longer adapt the surface terrain. This fixes the large flat areas by mineshaft entrances
- Underground tunnels are now wrapped in stone instead of breaking into caves
- The regular underground mineshaft can now appear in most overworld biomes
- Mineshafts now spread out about as far as vanilla mineshafts, with more tunnels and branches
- Special rooms turn up much more often, but never more than once or twice in the same mineshaft. This includes the warden prison and sculk pit in the deep dark mineshaft, the big rooms in the regular mineshaft, the special crossings in the desert, jungle and Nether mineshafts, the dog room in the snowy mineshaft and the large dead ends in the mushroom mineshaft
- Mineshafts no longer generate on top of vanilla mineshafts
- The regular and mesa mineshafts have fewer tunnel junctions, so they're less of a maze
### Fixed
- Parrots are back in the desert mineshaft room
- Item frames and paintings now appear correctly on every version
- Two rooms in the Nether mineshaft had empty spawners; they now spawn piglin brutes, wither skeletons and blazes
- The jungle, mesa, Nether and regular mineshafts now generate on Forge 1.20.1
- The minecart chest in the jungle mineshaft now has treasure in it
- Cacti, carts and gold piles now appear beside the desert mineshaft's paths
- The suspicious sand in the desert mineshaft now has loot
- The Nether mineshaft's mess hall can now generate
- A few jungle and Nether tunnels that could never generate now do, including the jungle drop shaft

[1.0.3] MMR 1.0.3-1.21 [UNIVERSAL]
by FinnDog_123 on Oct 21, 2026
Download
### Added
### Changed
### Fixed
- Minecraft 26.2 support (validator and pack format range extended to 1.21–26.2).
### Changed
- Tuned overworld mineshaft spacing for mansion-tier rarity (mineshaft, mesa_mineshaft, nether_mineshaft) based on /locate grid measurements against woodland mansion spacing.
### Fixed
- Restored compatibility with Minecraft 1.21–1.21.4 by fixing item-component shape mismatches the pre-1.21.5 codec rejected:
minecraft:dyed_colorinsnowy_mineshaftloot now uses the integer form instead of{"rgb": N}.minecraft:written_book_contentpage text injungle_mineshaftspecial crossings is now JSON-encoded so the strict Component codec accepts it.minecraft:enchantmentsinmineshaft/intersection_8and_9now uses the flat enchant-ID map instead of the post-1.21.5levelswrapper.- Sign messages across 28 NBTs are now JSON-encoded
""so theFilteredText<Component>codec accepts them. pack.mcmetanow declaressupported_formats: [48, 107]so MC 1.21.9+ doesn't reject the pack range.- Removed a stray evoker spawn egg left in a dispenser in
mineshaft/intersection_8.
[1.0.2] MMR 1.0.2-1.20 [UNIVERSAL]
by FinnDog_123 on Oct 21, 2026
Download
First port of MMR to Minecraft 1.20–1.20.6.
### Added
### Changed
### Removed
### Added
- Custom
#mmr:biome tags so structure biome lists resolve identically across Fabric 1.20.x (where Convention Tags v2 names differ from 1.20.5+) and Forge 1.20.x (which uses theforge:namespace). - Explicit 1.20.5 and 1.20.6 version mappings so MSL picks the right template per MC, with entity item format adjusted for the 1.20.6 component overhaul.
### Changed
- Ported to 1.20–1.20.6. Substituted 1.21-only blocks and entities (tuff variants → stone variants, copper bulbs → shroomlights, crafter → dropper, bogged → stray, decorated pot palette adjusted). Reshaped sign and item NBTs for the 1.20 codec. Renamed
structure/andloot_table/paths to the plural form 1.20 expects. - Vault rooms now use chest loot (no 1.20.x equivalent for vaults / trial spawners).
- Replaced the 1.21 guster banner pattern with a 1.20-safe alternative.
- Tuned overworld mineshaft spacing for mansion-tier rarity (ported from 1.21-datapack).
### Removed
- Ominous loot tables and trial-spawner pieces (no 1.20.x equivalent).
- 1.21-only processors and
1_21_9/NBT version-forks (not needed on 1.20.x).

by FinnDog_123 on Oct 21, 2026
Download
### Added
### Changed
- Snowy mineshafts now generate a surface entrance building that descends into the tunnels, with its own entrance loot including dyed and enchanted leather boots for crossing the mineshaft's powdered snow.
### Changed
- Snowy mineshafts now spawn on relatively flat terrain so the surface entrance sits cleanly, and their underground pieces are buried rather than carved into the ground.

### Added
### Added
- Six biome-specific reimagined mineshafts: base (taiga and similar overworld biomes), desert, jungle, mesa, snowy, and nether.

- Themed loot variants for supply barrels, miner chests, and treasure so containers vary between rooms, plus vaults and trial spawners.
