Top 8 Minecraft Mods That Adds New Structures

In comparison with other open world games, Minecraft's world is rather devoid of structures. If the number of buildings in the base game is not enough for you to explore, installing mods is probably your best bet.

In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase the top 8 Minecraft mods that add new structures.

1. Galaticraft + Extra Planets

Galacticraft is a mod for Minecraft which introduces 5 new dimensions that are based on planets and satellites in the Solar System. These include the Moon, Mars, Venus, Asteroids and a Space Station built by the space Explorer (aka the Player).

To travel to other planets, players need to build a rocket using the NASA workbench. Each tier of Rocket will fly to a different planet - building and flying them requires fuel refined from oil.

Extra Planets is an add-on for the mod Galacticraft that adds more planets and improves the other features of Galaticraft. The space dimensions have different gravity, no oxygen, extreme temperatures, evolved mobs and other challenges for players. With this add-on, Galacticraft becomes one of the biggest dimension mods for Minecraft.

2. Medieval Minecraft

Medieval Minecraft will bring your Minecraft experience back to the early ages of gaming with its medieval settings, including 6 new dimensions alongside new bosses. However, the most unique part is probably the new updated thirst and stamina system. This allows players to have a much more realistic experience.

Quest-wise, Medieval Minecraft is no slouch. This mod pack adds a variety of new quests that follows a storyline and guide players through it at the same time.

3. Valhesia Structures

Valhesia Structures is one of the newer mods on this list. Unlike Repurposed Structures, it adds completely new lore-friendly buildings onto the map instead.
