Before I came across the StadiumCraft mod, I had no idea how cool a sports stadium is in Minecraft. Here, you'll be able to construct a highly detailed stadium complete with seating, billboards, floodlights, nets, and anything else you can think of to give your villagers some worthwhile entertainment.

Additionally, you might want to find some entertainment for yourself in case building and exploring get boring.

With the ModernArch mod, your buildings won't ever have the same appearance. The ModernArc Mod is an essential mod for all builders out there, even though it doesn't feel particularly in line with the Minecraft spirit (as it doesn't add any new craftable items). In addition to many other useful furniture building blocks, it includes new decorative elements like mirrors, cabinets, desks, and tables. They serve no real purpose in this context. But if you're purely interested in design ideas, new items don't necessarily need to have a purpose.

Why is ModernArch good for building?

  • It gives you creations a less blocky look
  • You can use all kinds of furniture

There are a ton of new blocks added in Chisel 2, some of which are so unusual that you might find it difficult to incorporate them into your designs.Additionally, if your magnificent structure is close to the water, you should throw the Ball O' Moss at it to make the blocks mossy.

However, unlike the traditional platformer, these pipes have special capabilities that will allow you to move objects from one place to another. All of your creations will have everything they require because of this. And even if you don't need to move anything, how can you say no to pipes made of gold, diamond, emerald, or obsidian?
