    Description

    Are vanilla desert wells too boring for you? Then this datapack is for you! It adds a new structure to the game - "Transformed Desert Well".

    About the wells

    The new well differs from the original in the following ways:
    • A new, more beautiful and large-scale design;
    • A chest with its own loot. Inside you will always find a map leading either to a desert village, to a desert pyramid or to a desert ruined portal;
    • Actually, a version of the well for the badlands biome, which looks abandoned, the loot in the chest is worse (and there is no map), but there are more suspicious blocks.
    Locate:

    To find structures using commands you must write: "/locate structure tdw:desert_well" and "/locate structure tdw:badlands_well".

    Bring Back The Old Wells

    To return the old wells: open the datapack folder, follow the path "data\minecraft\worldgen\biome" and delete the file "desert.json".

    Gratitude

    The design for the well is NOT mine, I took it from this video - www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lewn_9N4Jg
    Please support the original builder.
    All other content of the datapack (the appearance of the structure in the world, new loot, the variant for badlands) was created by me.

    Compatibility With Other Datapacks

    Any other datapack that changes the desert - will be incompatible. You will have to manually enter the required changes if you still want to achieve compatibility.

    Screenshots

    The screenshots use "Faithful 64x" textures and "BSL" shaders.

    Copyright

    You can change the data pack as you wish and upload it anywhere, you dont need to ask permission. The main thing is, if you place it somewhere - you must provide a link to the original and make at least some significant changes to the data pack (Dont just need to re-upload it, be more creative).

    Can you add a download of a version that just adds the wells without removing the old ones?

    This can be easily done manually, so there is no point in making a separate version. To return the old wells: open the datapack folder, follow the path "data\minecraft\worldgen\biome" and delete the file "desert.json".
