CreateCities

Minecraft 1.20.1 · NeoForge / Forge

CreateCities is a datapack + resource pack that overhauls Lost Cities world generation with hand-crafted city districts, custom buildings, a subway and highway rail system, and deep integration with the modpack ecosystem it was built for.

What's Included

• Custom city districts — each biome group spawns a distinct city style:
  • 🏡 Suburb Residential (forests, birch, taiga, meadow)
  • 🏢 Highrise Office (plains, savanna, grasslands)
  • 🏨 Highrise Hotel (mountains, snowy peaks, frozen biomes)
  • 🏘️ Highrise Residential (jungle, swamp, cherry grove, lush caves)
  • 🛍️ Retail District (Mediterranean, scrubland, volcanic)
  • 🏚️ Wasteland (desert, badlands, scorched earth)
• Subway system — underground rail tunnels with stations across all city types
• Highway system — elevated road bridges with crash debris and signage
• 30+ custom buildings — apartments, offices, hotels, police stations, hospitals, casinos, clubs, and more
• Multi-block structures — large landmark buildings spanning multiple city blocks
• Custom scattered structures — cabins, food trucks, hideouts, treehouses
• Loot table integration — loot adapted for mods in the ecosystem
• Recipe tweaks — adjusted crafting for Create, Big Cannons, and other mods
• Language support — en_us, cs_cz, es_es, ko_kr, ms_my, pt_br, ru_ru, tr_tu, ua_uk, zh_cn

Required Mods

These mods must be installed. The datapack will not function correctly without them.

Optional Mods

These mods are supported but not required. Content will be added or enhanced when they are present.

Installation

As a standalone datapack (singleplayer)

1. Download and unzip the latest release
2. Place the folder inside your world's datapacks/ directory:

   .minecraft/saves/<your world>/datapacks/createcities/
   

3. In-game, run /reload or create a new world

As part of a modpack (KubeJS)

Place the contents into your instance's kubejs/data/ folder:

<instance>/kubejs/data/createcities/

Make sure kubejs/data/pack.mcmeta exists. If it doesn't, create it:

{
  "pack": {
    "pack_format": 15,
    "description": "KubeJS Data Pack"
  }
}

KubeJS Scripts

The kubejs/ folder contains startup, server, and client scripts that power CreateCities gameplay systems. These scripts register custom items, rebalance armor/weapons, add crafting recipes, define loot tags, and manage worldgen. Below is a breakdown of every script and which mods it depends on.

Startup Scripts (item registration & modification)

Server Scripts (recipes, tags, functions)

Client Scripts

Summary: Mods that MUST be installed for KubeJS scripts to work correctly

Summary: Mods that are optional but have dedicated script support

Note: All ItemEvents.modification, removal, and recipe scripts for optional mods are silently skipped by KubeJS if the mod is not installed — they will not crash the game.

Lost Cities Configuration

For the custom city generation to work, Lost Cities must be pointed at the createcities profile.

config/lostcities/common.toml

[profiles]
    dimensionsWithProfiles = ["minecraft:overworld=createcities"]

defaultconfigs/lostcities-server.toml

[profiles]
    selectedProfile = "createcities"

The createcities profile and worldstyle are included in this datapack under data/createcities/lostcities/.

City Districts

Each district spawns in a different biome group. The district type affects building style, street layout, park design, and loot tables.
