Locating the Cursed Garden and Stranghoul Den in Eternal Starlight
The Cursed Garden and the Stranghoul Den are two structures added by Eternal Starlight, and finding them means knowing which biomes they generate in and how the Stranghoul Den spaces itself across the landscape. Eternal Starlight sends players into a mystical realm bathed in starlight, a dimension built around wonder, danger, and discovery. Structures like these are part of that exploration content, sitting alongside the mod's diverse biomes, rare ingredients, unique mobs, and assortment of tools and weapons.
Where the Cursed Garden Generates
The Cursed Garden appears only in biomes tagged with #eternal_starlight:has_cursed_garden. That biome tag is the single condition that governs its placement, so the practical approach is to identify which biomes carry that tag and search within them.
- The structure generates in biomes belonging to #eternal_starlight:has_cursed_garden.
- No other placement rules apply to it.
Because the tag is the only stated requirement, there is no spacing or separation behavior to plan around for the Cursed Garden. Once you are inside a qualifying biome, the structure is part of that biome's generated content.
Where the Stranghoul Den Generates
The Stranghoul Den is tied to its own biome tag, #eternal_starlight:has_stranghoul_den, and it also follows a fixed placement pattern.
- The structure generates in biomes belonging to #eternal_starlight:has_stranghoul_den.
- Placement is attempted once per 20x20 chunk region.
- Dens are kept at least 8 chunks apart.
Those two placement rules matter when you are hunting for one. The single attempt per 20x20 chunk region means a qualifying area will not necessarily contain a den, and the 8-chunk minimum separation means dens do not cluster tightly together. If you find one, expect some distance before the next.
Planning a Search
Start by narrowing your search to biomes that match the relevant tags. The Cursed Garden and the Stranghoul Den use different tags, so a biome that hosts one will not automatically host the other. Check the biome you are standing in against the tag that applies to the structure you want.
For the Stranghoul Den, think in terms of regions rather than individual chunks. Because only one placement attempt happens per 20x20 chunk region, sweeping broadly across a qualifying biome is more productive than combing a small patch. The 8-chunk separation also means that once you locate a den, moving well away from it before searching again fits how the structure is spaced.
For the Cursed Garden, the biome tag is the whole story. Confirm you are in a biome tagged #eternal_starlight:has_cursed_garden, and the structure belongs to that biome's generated features.
What You Find Inside
The facts available cover where these two structures generate and how the Stranghoul Den is placed. They do not describe the contents, loot, or layout of either structure, so there is nothing further to state about what waits inside them. What can be said is that both are part of Eternal Starlight's exploration content, which the mod describes as including diverse biomes, rare ingredients, unique mobs, and an array of tools and weapons waiting to be discovered.
If your goal is simply to reach them, the reliable method is biome-first: match the biome tag, then apply the Stranghoul Den's spacing rules when relevant. That keeps the search grounded in the two things that actually determine where these structures appear.
