DAG Mod

What's New in v1.8.2

Village NPC Structures

7 standalone NPC buildings now generate across plains, forest, and taiga biomes. Each is an independent structure locatable with /locate structure dagmod:<name>:

• village_inn — traveller's rest stop
• village_tavern — drinks and rumours
• village_shop_1 / village_shop_2 — general goods
• village_traders_1 — roaming merchant stall
• village_jeweler — gems and fine wares
• village_blacksmith — weapons and repairs

Buildings share a placement grid (spacing ~256 blocks) so you'll find a mix of types within a reasonable exploration radius.

Note: Structures only generate in newly explored chunks. Use /locate structure dagmod:village_inn (or any building name) to find the nearest one.

Bug Fixes

• Dynamic lighting terrain not updating — Held-item lighting now correctly illuminates terrain blocks as you move. The chunk rebuild system was calling setSectionRangeDirty with raw block coordinates instead of section coordinates (1 section = 16 blocks), marking chunks near the world origin as dirty instead of chunks around the player
• Village NPC structure set not loading — The old jigsaw setup referenced a missing village_docks.nbt, causing the entire village structure set to silently fail on world init. /locate structure dagmod:village_npc would always return no results. Replaced with 7 individual structures

Changes

• Hall of Champions rarity — Spacing increased 40→64 chunks, separation 12→20. Halls are now ~2.5× rarer (one per ~1024 blocks vs ~640 blocks)
• Village exclusion zones — Hall exclusion radius around villages reduced 15→8 chunks; bone dungeon exclusion 12→6 chunks
