This mineshaft module for Dungeons and Taverns is, in my opinion, of higher quality than the base mod. Most of the loot is suitable for the stage in which these mineshafts can be found. The structures added by this mod are very similar but are different enough to be a welcome change from vanilla.

Compared to similar mods like YUNG's mineshaft overhaul, these mineshafts definitely feel more vanilla but with less intrigue, and would certainly be more suitable for vanilla+ packs. These mineshafts also come with early game tools meaning they are suitable for exploration potentially without any tools, compared with YUNG's mineshafts which have higher tier loot but also threats.

Surface mineshaft entrances are easier to find than normal and with them being added to new biomes, they certainly feel more common in this mod than they do in vanilla. Along with slightly improved loot in certain places, this can make mineshafts even more worthwhile than they normally are.

Overall, not a bad mod, I recommend people give it a shot if they like exploration mods, though if you want more of a vast overhaul you should look elsewhere.
