Mod Name: Gothic Citadel
Immerse yourself in the shadows of ancient cathedrals and forgotten fortresses with Gothic Citadel, a new gothic-themed set from my Flora Moderna mod—now available for all to enjoy for free. This brooding, atmospheric architecture brings obsidian-hued dark bricks to your world, evoking the eerie elegance of Gothic design, perfect for building haunted mansions, shadowy dungeons, or towering spires that pierce the night sky.
Core Features:
Emissive Dark Bricks: At the heart of the mod are the signature dark bricks, featuring subtle emissive lighting that glows from the center of each block. This creates a haunting, ethereal illumination—ideal for low-light builds where mystery and menace reign supreme. Varied Wall Types: Customize your structures with three distinct wall variants for ultimate flexibility:
Standard Walls: Sleek, non-glowing dark brick walls for solid, impenetrable barriers that blend seamlessly into the darkness. Glowing Walls: Infused with emissive cores, these walls cast a faint, ominous light, adding depth and drama to your interiors without needing torches. Grated Walls: Reinforced with rusted metal grates embedded in the bricks, offering a industrial-Gothic twist—perfect for prisons, laboratories, or fortified towers.
Integrated Customization System: Every structure piece features a seamless built-in customization panel, empowering you to personalize your builds with gothic flair. Add weathered scratches to walls for an authentic, timeworn patina. Dial in the perfect glossiness—from a subtle matte finish to a glossy, sinister sheen. Fine-tune the emissive glow's color (blood-red inferno or spectral blue?) and intensity to evoke the exact mood you desire.
Furniture and Decor: Enhance the ambiance with a curated selection of thematic items:
Offers skins for: Decor Box, Table, Storage box small, Fireplace, Transmitter, Chair, Bench, Flat pillar, Wall sign, Bookshelf, Rug, Single bed, and items under flat pillar and ceiling in furniture set.
Important Notes: This is a custom cosmetic mod—only players need to download it. It runs client-side and can be found in your inventory under the Cosmetics tab, on the right side of the UI. Do NOT install this on your server, as it will cause issues since server installation is not required
