Villages in Minecraft have always felt a bit lacking when it comes to magic — Gazebos Mod changes that by scattering enchanting new structures throughout village biomes, each housing a Spell Binding Table and a small spell library. Instead of crafting everything from scratch, you can now stumble upon spell books while exploring Desert, Plains, Savanna, Snowy, and Taiga villages. With over 2.1 million downloads on Modrinth and active updates since 2023, this lightweight Fabric mod by ZsoltMolnarrr has become a staple for RPG-focused modpacks.
Key Features
- Village Spell Libraries — Gazebos spawn naturally in villages and contain Spell Binding Tables, giving you a much faster path to obtaining Spell Books without building the infrastructure yourself.
- Biome-Specific Designs — Five unique gazebo variants match the architecture of Desert, Plains, Savanna, Snowy, and Taiga villages, so they blend in naturally with existing structures.
- Configurable Spawn Rates — Gazebos are uncommon by default, but you can fine-tune how often they appear by editing
config/gazebo/world_gen.jsonto suit your playstyle.

FAQ
Do Gazebos spawn in every village?
No, gazebos are uncommon by default. However, you can increase or decrease their spawn rate by editing the config/gazebo/world_gen.json file to match your preference.
Does Gazebos Mod work without Spell Engine?
No, Spell Engine Mod is a required dependency. The gazebo structures contain Spell Binding Tables from Spell Engine, so the mod will not function without it installed.
Will gazebos appear in villages I've already explored?
Gazebos only generate in new chunks. You will need to explore previously unvisited villages or create a new world to find them.
