Your friendly neighborhood Kingpin here...
Thanks for the update, Kolt. This was one of the first mods that significantly raised the atmosphere for me. Nicely done. Downloading now.

Thanks for the update, kolt. I hope we get to see some more awesome templates on the thread.

Oh my god.
After leaving everything on the default settings, I decided to explore a world filled with a ton of ruins, both default and added, right?
Well, whoever made the flaming skull house:
I both congratulate you GREATLY, and curse you. I'm fighting my way through it as we speak, and my god, this is scary. I have so many arrows and NO BOW, either. Just some iron, a diamond, and what I've gained while exploring other ruins.

Once I conquer this place, however, I'm making it my home.

Edit:
WHAT. WHAT. WHAT.
I just saw a creeper walk through a wall.
I hope it was just the angle, and there's a passageway there, instead.

Edit, again:
I... I think I just defeated it.
Oh my god. Again.
That was amazing. Whoever created that, you have all of my respect.

This mod looks great, is this mod still updated, or is something similar available that creates points of untreated to bump into on the surface?

It's no longer updated by the creator (thus the out of date thread subject), but has enough fans that it is still being updated. I don't have coding experience, but once the current wave of bug-fixes is for Minecraft is done, it is likely that Ruins will be updated by someone.
I recommend that whoever updates it (if no one else does I'll likely try to stumble my way through the process) Creates a new thread so that we can keep the version/compatibility info in the subject line up to date, and so we can have the download/creator and updater credits on the first page.

This is one of the few non-core mods that I have invested much time in. It is quite good.

Is there a way to install this mod without the Modloader? My computer wont run Modloader :sad.gif:

I have installed the mod with the instructions from the read me but no ruins are being generated
plz help

also having this issue (with the fan update)

really annoying, as I like the idea of this mod

It doesn't apppear to have been updated.
You can take a stab at trying to use it despite it not being updated.

However I doubt that it would work :<

Can't wait for you to update :biggrin.gif: I wanna try this mod :tongue.gif:

@eimhin85, Vherkin, virulentRant and linkster9: Kolt's update of the mod.

Cool

Should this have happened?
I installed Ruins and wandered away from my spawn point for a while. Got back the next day and these 2 ruins in the foreground had appeared! It was in an existing world.

fantastic idea! like above ground caves :biggrin.gif:

is this updated to 1.6.6? because it says 1.4_01 and I really want it

Ironically, I suggested a ruins biome to Notch on his twitter not too long ago before I discovered this mod.

A suggestion though, add some cobblestone roads/stairs between buildings, give it a more civilization feel when you expand upon it.

Good mod like it a lot

What texture pack is that? It looks cool.
