# \ud83c\udfdb\ufe0f Ancient Structures<\/p>\n

**Ancient Structures** is a full-featured Minecraft **mod** that adds cultural, handcrafted structures from ancient civilizations directly into your world.
\nIt serves as a **bridge within the Dawn of Time ecosystem**, showcasing the architectural potential of Dawn of Time blocks and the animated armor models from Armor of the Ages through immersive world generation.<\/p>\n

This first version includes **around 20 unique structures** spread across four civilizations: **Mayan**, **Roman**, **Japanese**, and **German**.
\nEach building is designed to enrich survival gameplay, with a focus on worldbuilding, atmosphere, and challenge. Players will encounter lone temples, sacred ruins, abandoned villages, and military sites. Each hiding **custom loot**, **secret passages**, **mini-bosses**, and **animated mobs** wearing culturally themed equipment.<\/p>\n

**The mod requires the following dependencies to work :**<\/p>\n

* Dawn of Time
\n* Armor of the Ages
\n* Fusion
\n* YetAnotherConfig (YACL)<\/p>\n
