Adds mysterious ancient structures, a full pottery system, and rune crafting to your survival world! This datapack introduces new structures to explore, functional blocks to craft with, and a deep pottery & rune system to master.
Since this is a Datapack and Resource pack, both can be installed once server side and will apply to all players that join, voiding the need for each player to install the pack!
