Introduction

Shrines is a uniquely customizable, rapidly expanding structure generation mod that is updated from time to time. Minecraft's structures have their own style that should be respected, so Shrines never replaces pre-existing structures. Instead, this mod adds a new variety of diverse builds custom created to enhance Minecraft gameplay. A shrine is a monument, a structure with a distinctive purpose. Each one has a story to tell. Be a part of the story!

Oriental Sanctuary

Credits

There so many people who deserve a thank you. First of all I want to say thank you to all people that contributed to Shrines in any way, but weren't listed here, just because the space is limited. Furthermore, a big thank you to everyone who downloaded Shrines, especially in the first three month. Without you downloading shrines, this mod wouldn't be as popular as it is right now.

Thank you to every one that reported bugs, proposed ideas and contributed to Shrines code. Your feedback is valued!

Here I would like to mention once again the names of the most hard-working staff members (I hope I haven't forgotten anyone - please note that I can't list everything a single person did. That would just exceed the space of this page):

  • S1fy (Thank you for all your patience, constructive reviews and amazing builds)
  • LadyJessa (lady_jessa) (Thank you for all your hard work. You've created so much amazing content that I can't name everything. Some examples: Shrines icons, Spotlight videos (linked), Abandoned Villa, Modern Villa, Luxury Villa, World Tree Manor and so on)
  • LegoSorterman (Thank you for your patience when Shrines came up freshly and you helped out with code)
  • CHPTR1 (Thank you for your reviews, structures and innovative ideas)
  • pea_sh0ter (Thank you for your never ending pool of ideas. Some of them like the Novel system already found their way into the mod. Thank you for writing these amazing novels for all the structures)
  • SamhitApple (Your Infested Prison, Minerla temple, Jungle Tower, Abandoned Witch House and Flooded Temple are so bautiful. Keep on the great work. Thank you)
  • Forscher09 (Thank you for reviews, ideas, thoughts, criticism and structures)
  • Tikofan (You've build amazing structures for this mod. Thank you)
