Forgotten Ruins

# 🗿 Forgotten Ruins **Forgotten Ruins** is a Minecraft mod that brings mysterious temples and lost relics into the heart of the jungle, swamps, and mangrove biomes. Inspired by the **dark fantasy atmosphere of Shadow of the Colossus**, this mod invites players to explore long-forgotten sanctuaries, remnants of an ancient civilization protected by silent golems now reactivated by your presence. The mod REQUIRE Dawn of Time & Armor of the Ages (+the dependencies)  ## 🔍 What to expect * **Handcrafted ruins** with secrets, parkour, traps, and thematic loot * **Dark, decayed architecture** that blends naturally into the jungle, swamp, or mangrove * **Custom loot tables**: damaged relics, cursed treasures, forgotten weapons and potions * **Guardian golems**: silent sentinels, some still watchful… others unstable * A mix of **exploration, tension, and high rewards** for those who reach the heart of the ruins * No two ruins are identical—**each has its own layout, lore, and dangers**  ## Gameplay design Forgotten Ruins is not just decorative. Each structure is built like a **mini dungeon**: you’ll have to **explore**, **climb**, **avoid traps**, and face **ancient defense systems**. It rewards players who take the risk—loot is rare, powerful, and often tied to the **Armor of the Ages** mod (with worn-out legendary armor, gold, potions, and enchanted relics).  ## Mod ecosystem Forgotten Ruins is part of the **Dawn of Time** mod family. It uses building blocks, mobs, and loot assets from the following : * [Dawn of Time](https://modrinth.com/mod/dawn-of-time) – core assets & historical blocks * [Armor of the Ages](https://modrinth.com/mod/armor-of-the-ages) – animated armor models & gear * [Ancient Structures](https://modrinth.com/mod/ancient-structure) – cultural overworld generation These mods work independently but complement each other to create a rich worldbuilding and exploration experience.  ## Feedback & Support We'd love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or bug reports !
