This datapack (packaged as a mod for easier installation) applies many tweaks to the default Lost Cities geneartion on 1.20.1, making generated cities more interesting while trying to keep the original style.

⚠ You need to have The Lost Cities installed to use this datapack ⚠

Example tweaks:

1. Replaced all torches with lanterns. Unfortunately lanterns still generate when city lighting is disabled because torches are hard-coded light sources. You can use Lost Cities Modern Tweaks (Lights Off Edition)

if you don't want those lanterns to generate.

2. New street and highway designs. Streets now have lamp posts.

3. Added more details to the railway network.

4. Added more details to some existing buildings.

5. More roof variations.

6. More park designs. Some existing park designs are also tweaked.

7. Redesigned fountains to better fit the new streets.

8. More building palettes.

9. A new factory multibuilding with a spacious interior, which can be a convenient place to kick off your factory in tech packs.

10. New building designs.

11. New biome specific city styles.

12. Touch up interiors of multi-buildings like shopping center, town center, etc., and added unique loot tables for each of them.

13. And more ...

In general, most of the tweaks are aesthetic, and won't break the balance from the original mod. All tweaks use vanilla blocks only, also making it vanilla friendly (and you don't need to install extra mods!). Overall there are hundreds of modified building parts. You can visit the gallery for some examples.

I started these tweaks in my own playthroughs, when I found it strange that a modern city still uses torches everywhere. As I added more and more tweaks, I figured that it is also a good idea to share these tweaks with you.

Permissions

Feel free to use this datapack in any modpacks. The MIT license also gives you a lot of freedom to do additional tweaks yourselves (as the source files are just json files included in the pack).

Compatibility

This datapack has been tested with various vanilla Lost Cities profiles. However, it is impossible to test every heavily modded environment that heavily modifies worldgen. So if the datapack works flawlessly, that's great and enjoy it! If not, you may have to remove it, or manually resolve the issue if you are experienced. Do not report issues caused by this datapack to the Lost Cities mod!
