Biome Specific Dungeons

by Darkhax

Biome Specific Dungeons changes which dungeon types generate in each biome, adding desert, frozen and mushroom variants with their own mobs and loot.

ForgeClient and serverGNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 onlyOpen source1.12.2

What it does

Each new dungeon is tied to a biome: a desert dungeon appears where sandstone blocks mark desert areas, a frozen dungeon where ice and snow build up, and a mushroom dungeon where mushroom blocks form mushroom islands. Spawners in each variant bring in husks, strays or mooshrooms, and the chests hold loot taken from the desert pyramid, igloo or ordinary dungeon tables.

Bookshelf is required and must be installed alongside the mod. The mod is published for Forge only, with a single version, 1.12.2, and its latest file is 1.0.3 for 1.12.2, dated 2023-06-07. It runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. The code is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
