Roguelike Dungeons
by Greymerk
Procedurally generated dungeon structures with randomized loot, placed in the overworld and linked by corridors and stairwells, are what Roguelike Dungeons adds to a Fabric world.
What it does
Dungeons are built from random rooms and corridor segments that the layout attempts to add per level. The first floor can sit below sea level or just under the surface of the tower, depending on a setting. Chests are filled on the fly, and the empty base tables leave room for custom loot added through data.
The mod is server-side only, so the server needs it and players join without installing anything. It requires Fabric API, and files exist for 1.20.1 – 26.3 across 18 release versions. The latest Fabric file is fabric-2.1.2+mc26.3 for 26.3, published on 2026-09-30. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with public links to the source and issue tracker.
Key features
Procedural layouts
Rooms and corridors are linked into a new layout each time a dungeon generates, with a configurable room count per level.
Dungeon frequency
A probability value from 0 to 1 sets how often dungeons generate in the world.
Mob equipment drops
An option stops mobs from dropping equipment when killed, which changes the loot a dungeon yields.
Debug output
When enabled, generation details go to the server log, and layout and loot statistics are stored in the world debug directory.
