Ancient Temples

Each temple is generated in its own biome and holds a boss fight with a reward. Inside the Desert Temple, a large sandstone pyramid, an ancient pharaoh waits, and defeating him yields a totem that can be used more than once. The Trial Temple is a sandstone building with a series of battles, ending with the Sun Sceptre, an enchanted weapon that deals heavy damage in sunlight. The Jungle Temple is a Mayan pyramid with a Stone Guardian, and the Ender Temple is a tall tower ruled by a four-armed Enderman that summons Ender Phantoms. A Nether Temple holds a Phoenix egg to hatch and fight.

The Aetherial Library floats in the sky and is watched by a Copper Robot Librarian named Dewey, with a tall loot tower inside. Three new resources support the content: Desert Gold, Sandstorm Ruby and a mystical metal used for spawners. Desert Gold can be worked into a special tool set, and it is also a smithing template for gold equipment.
