Dungeon Now Loading
With Dungeon Now Loading, large dungeons are placed into a world as generated structures, each ending in a boss fight.
What it does
The mod adds new dungeons to worlds on Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1. Each dungeon is large and built to be explored, and the fight at its far end is meant to be challenging without being unfair. Players who prefer a single run through a structure can treat each dungeon as a self-contained adventure.
Dungeon Now Loading is published as open source under the MIT License, and its source code and wiki are public. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Builds exist for Fabric and Forge, and the latest files for both loaders are version 2.2 for 1.20.1, published on 2026-05-02. The mod was first published on 2024-04-18.
Big Globe - Dungeon Now Loading Compatibility requires this mod, so it is the companion to install when a world uses that add-on. The mod is also tied to the community around its author, who shares polls, update notices, previews and early builds through public channels.

How it compares
Enchantsmith is open source under the MIT License, runs on client and server, and covers 1.19.2 – 1.20.1 on Fabric and Forge, so it reaches back a version further. Simply Dungeons is Forge-only for 1.20.1, runs on client and server, and is released under All rights reserved. Dungeon Now Loading covers only 1.20.1, which both alternatives also target.
