sandstone village?

[Evil Hamster]

Just poking around a few new worlds using RP2 and found this, I've never seen before:

 

[SilvasRuin]

That's vanilla, believe it or not. They were added in a couple versions ago. I forget which one exactly.

 

[Evil Hamster]

Never seen one, pretty cool

 

[Nanakisan]

They were added in snapshot 12w21a They are as rare as a regular npc village. but i think they are far sexier.

 

[ZeSapper]

There are also the desert temples and apparently jungle temples as well , though I've never happened upon one yet.

Villages and temples don't seem as rare in vanilla minecraft as in the modded versions.

In fact temples almost seem non-existant, I've only ever seen one.

theory is because the plugin extrabiomesxl and redpower alter the generation code quite a bit. that might be why.

Probably because certain villages are hardcodes to spawn in certain biomes and the extra biomes are simply not on that list.

^ What they said, the temples and special villages will only spawn in vanilla type biomes. Because of mods this land is greatly reduced.

Desert temples are cool in vanilla minecraft, easy way to get lots of tnt (9 under each trap). Jungle temples are less interesting.

ExtrabiomesXL support spawn villages in own biomes (config dependent)

yes, but they won't spawn as desert villages

I found a desert temple maybe 100-150 blocks away from my spawn once. This was on a vanilla generation but cool none-the-less. I made the top section an enchanting room, the middle section my main quarters, below it an underground farm (after a bit of excavating) and a shaft that leaded directly to a strip-mine. That then led to a couple of ravines and mineshafts which I made a small fortune out of. Oh, and there was a regular village + jungle biome just out of render distance from that spot. Honestly, the best starting position I have yet to see.

Never seen a jungle temple though.
