This mod will add flying castles that are randomly generated for size, types of structures and loot so that every time it feels different. The big stone castles even have 2 hidden diamond blocks.
In the creative infentory you can also find blocks for the generation for the flying castles.
This mod has different files for different versions of this mod(The different versions don't work together) :
knight,villager,empty: This version can have empty castles or filled with knights or filled with villagers. You can get the different spawn options using the gamerule flyingcastlestype, where 1=knights 2=villagers and 3=empty castles.
Empty: This version has the structures but the structures don't have any mobs walking through the structure.
Village: This version has the structures with villagers and iron golems walking through the structure.
Pillager spawners: This version has the structures with pillager spawners throughout the structure.
Knight: This version adds the structures with modded knights walking through the structure.
Mobs:
Knights:
Will attack you and are armed with mostly iron armor and an iron sword.
Archers:
Will back from you and shoot arrows at you.
Heavy knights:
Will attack you and are armed with gold armor and an iron sword.
When they get hurt they can get a boost to fight you.

Magic knight :
Will attack you with slow-shooting magic bullets that stop your movement, also enchants the knights and archers armor and weapons
Items:
Nobles amulet :
This amulet will make none of the knights afraid or hostile against you and allow for trading with peasants and nobles if you're holding it.
When right clicking when holding the amulet will stop all mobs in the area for a few seconds.
This amulet will also make the knights from my other mod https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/knights neutral but doesn't allow trading with the nobles and peasants from that mod.
Trade :
Nobles trade :
Nobles will mostly trade rare times with you for 1 emerald block. (see image)
Peasants trade :
Peasants will mostly trade villager workbenches for 1 iron ingot. (see image)
Magic trade :
Magic knights will mostly trade brewing items with you for 1 lapis lazuli block. (see image)

I did not use the jigsawblocks but something similar. The structure exists out of a lot of small parts and those small parts can generate more parts next to it with selfmade blocks on those parts that have procedures to generate further when neighboring block chances. i let a selfmade gravity block to fall and chance the neighboring block and then deleting both blocks. The main reason for this mechanic was for me that it would make generating random generation of the structure easier and I don't know how to make the jigsaws work with mcreator.
The amulet gives the knight mobs a potion effect to check if you're holding it. And it gave the mobs the effects with the effect command with @e[type={the knight mobs names}, which can also give the command to other mods mobs if you know the naming of the other mods mobs. It is important here that both mods give the potion effect to both mods and check for the potion effect for both mods. I also think it is important that the effect is named the same but I am not to sure about that it has been a while since I implemented that.
I will also answer on discord but here other people might also get use out of it,
The structure exists out of a lot of small parts that are less than 48 blocks and those small parts can generate more parts next to it with blocks on those parts that have procedures to generate further. making it look like one big structure. The main reason for this mechanic was for me that it would make generating random generation of the structure easier,. But u don't have to use the blocks to generate further u can also do it with procedures in ''on structure intence generated".
First of all, it's a bit rude to say that, but sure, it's your opinion. While this mod doesn't have shiny graphics (which is nice to have, but not a necessity to win MOTW) or many new items/blocks that would add more tools/equipment, it's unique and well thought out, works well, and is very much playable in survival. I also believe it adds enough for it to be MOTW worthy. The author also responded to criticism very well and uniquely implemented those suggestions. I think it's safe to assume this shows that the author cares about their mod and will work on it more in the future. The author also submitted it for a few months now (every other week or so), so they moved up my "MOTW-worthy" list accordingly (this doesn't work like "begging", but if your mod is good and there was a more suitable mod one week, you'll have priority the next time I choose MOTW).
Part 1/3
I believe I talked enough about why this mod is good enough to win MOTW, so I think it's fair to touch the subject of why your mod(s) didn't win yet. While your mods are well-made, they are "one-trick ponies" (except for the "Sheesher" mod). They add a nice feature, but I can't think of many new features that one could add to a hammer mod or a mod that adds a new way to craft slimeballs (there's nothing wrong with those mods - in fact, I think they are great, but I don't think they are "MOTW material").
Now to touch the Sheesher mod. I can tell you that your mod was my second choice every week you submitted it. Compared to some other mods, it's a newer mod, and more importantly, it's a bit controversial. There are many young kids on this website, and some could find it disturbing.
