A complete redesign of Minecraft's desert temples.
68.5 of the 71 points that apply = 96 out of 100. The points above are rounded to whole numbers.
YUNG's Better Desert Temples replaces vanilla desert temples with larger, more challenging structures built around puzzles, traps, and parkour, with improved loot for explorers who make it through. Each temple culminates in a pharaoh encounter; by default, players inside are affected by mining fatigue until they defeat the pharaoh, after which that temple permanently lifts the effect. The redesigned temples include areas such as an armory and a main chamber, and can appear largely uncovered or almost entirely buried. Configuration lets players disable the mining-fatigue mechanic or allow vanilla desert temples to generate alongside the redesigned ones.
Written from Modrinth and CurseForge . How we write it
Changes the game's code in 4 areas: Mobs and their behaviorChanges 4 game code files in this area: mobs, animals, villagers, projectiles and how they move and act., World generationChanges 2 game code files in this area: terrain, biomes and structures made when new land is created., Server and world logicChanges 2 game code files in this area: the world, commands, scoreboards, saved data and game rules. and PlayerChanges 1 game code file in this area: your character: movement, abilities, hunger and controls..
Adds 1 structure: Desert Temple; 3 advancements and 10 loot tables.
Counted from the names and data files in the mod, so the list may not be complete.
Keeps all of vanilla Minecraft's textures, models and sounds.
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
We found nothing it sends
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and code history and found none.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
