Nether's Trial
by Qdeeme
Nether's Trial is a Fabric add-on to DungeonZ that places dungeon shrines and Ravager bosses in the Nether, and it runs on the server alone.
What it does
Three teleport shrines spread across the depths of the Nether, each one leading into a dungeon of a different difficulty. One of the shrines spawns naturally, so a player can find a dungeon without crafting anything. The dungeons combine redstone contraptions that act as hidden traps, parkour segments that test footing, and dark corridors lit for atmosphere. Players fight three custom Ravager bosses along the way, and respawn inside a dungeon is enabled by default, which means a failed run returns the player to the same dungeon rather than the surface.
The mod requires DungeonZ, which must be installed alongside it. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.20.1, 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 1.2.1.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest file released on 2025-09-04. Because the environment is server-side only, players join without installing anything.
Key features
Naturally spawning shrine

Three bosses built on the Ravager model are placed in the dungeons, each with its own fight.
Traps and parkour
Redstone contraptions are concealed in the dungeon walls and floors, while parkour segments demand careful jumps.
