Replaces vanilla ocean monuments with larger, more complex structures containing multiple wings, puzzles, and better loot.
Overview
YUNG's Better Ocean Monuments is a world-generation mod created by YUNG. Replaces vanilla ocean monuments with larger, more complex structures containing multiple wings, puzzles, and better loot. As a world gen mod it concentrates on terrain, biomes, and the shape of the world itself, and it has been downloaded around 18 million times, which puts it among the options players reach for in this space.
YUNG's Better Ocean Monuments is built for players who want ocean monuments to feel like real raid targets. It expands monuments with new layouts, loot, and challenges so the deep ocean rewards a properly prepared expedition. It is approachable enough to drop into a world and use right away, with little setup required.
The mod is available for Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge, so it fits a range of modpacks and launchers. It currently supports Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, spanning the 1.20.1 to 1.21.1 releases. It runs on both the client and the server, so on a multiplayer server every player who connects needs it installed alongside the server itself.

How to install YUNG's Better Ocean Monuments
YUNG's Better Ocean Monuments supports Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge; pick one loader (you cannot mix them) and install it for your chosen Minecraft version. It is built for Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, so make sure your profile uses one of those versions.
- 1Choose and install one mod loader from Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge for a Minecraft version this mod supports (1.20.1 and 1.21.1).
- 2Download the required dependency for the same version and loader: YUNG's API. YUNG's Better Ocean Monuments will not load without it.
- 3Drop the YUNG's Better Ocean Monuments .jar file into your instance's mods folder. On a server, place it in the server's mods folder instead, and make sure every connecting player has it too.
- 4Launch the game with that loader profile and confirm YUNG's Better Ocean Monuments appears in the in-game mods list; if it does not load, re-check the loader, the Minecraft version, and the dependencies above.
Supported Minecraft versions: 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. Always download the build that matches your version exactly, as mod files are version-specific.

YUNG's Better Ocean Monuments works particularly well alongside YUNG's API. It depends on YUNG's API, so those must be present and on the same loader and version. Because it ships for both Fabric and Forge-family loaders, it slots into most popular modpacks regardless of which side they are built on.
YUNG's Better Ocean Monuments has a modest footprint for what it adds and is widely used in modpacks without notable performance concerns.
If you are comparing options, a similar mod worth a look is YUNG's Better Strongholds. They overlap in purpose, so most players pick whichever suits their loader and pack.
