Description
## 🏰 Castle Shift - Castles in Your World
**Discover stone brick castles naturally generated across the landscape!**
Castle Shift is a structure mod that adds multi-story castles to Minecraft's world generation. Each castle features randomized structural variations, so no two castles are exactly alike.

## ✨ Features
### 🏗️ Multi-Story Castles
- **4-Floor Structures**: Grand castles with walls, towers, and corridors
- **Natural Placement**: Castles generate organically in a wide variety of biomes
### 🎨 Randomized Materials
Each castle's roofs, walls, and stairs are built from materials randomly selected per castle, so no two castles look the same!
- **Roofs**: Spruce, Dark Oak, Deepslate Bricks, Dark Prismarine, Red Nether Bricks, Crimson
- **Walls**: Stone Bricks, Deepslate Bricks, Polished Blackstone Bricks, Sandstone, End Stone Bricks
- **Stairs**: Bricks, Stone Bricks, Polished Granite, Deepslate Bricks, Polished Blackstone, Polished Blackstone Bricks, Red Nether Bricks
### 🧱 Structural Variations & Weathering
- **Multiple Templates**: Each floor section (walls, corners, centers, towers) has multiple structure templates chosen at random
- **Wall Weathering**: Stone brick and polished blackstone brick walls may randomly degrade into cobblestone, andesite, or cracked variants for a lived-in look
### 📦 Datapack-Friendly
- Structure placement can be customized via datapacks
- Adjust spacing, separation, and biome filters to your liking
