Dimensional Dungeons
With Dimensional Dungeons installed, a portal anywhere in the Overworld leads to a separate dimension filled with procedurally generated dungeons that can be explored repeatedly.
What it does
All generated dungeons sit in one separate dimension, reached through a portal built on the Overworld. Because new rooms keep being produced, the dungeons do not run out. Rooms are randomly populated with enemies, and several rooms hold treasure chests that open only after a puzzle based on game mechanics is solved.
Inside the dungeon dimension, building and block breaking are limited, so the space plays like adventure mode on a survival server. Traps can use pistons without handing players free pistons, obstacle courses cannot be bridged, and torches cannot be placed, so light and darkness shape how rooms are played. The builds use only vanilla blocks and no command blocks.
The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge across 16 release versions, 1.18.2 – 1.21.5, and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is not open source; the mod is released with all rights reserved. A common config file controls block protection and other options, and it can remove existing rooms or add custom ones.
