The Nether Dungeons
The Nether Dungeons adds underground dungeon structures to the Nether, where a summoner room hides three bosses behind a chance-based spawn.
What it does
Dungeon spawns appear at depths around Y 10, arranged as a maze, and a player finds the summoner room by searching the chests and passages. Once inside the summoner room, there is a 33.33% chance that a boss spawns. Skeletons in the dungeon can summon wither skeletons, vexes and tiny crying wither skeletons, and an evoker-like boss drops the summoner eye used in crafting.
The mod also adds four new items, including a sword, an axe and the Blood Summoner Eye, along with three staffs that shoot eggs, snowballs or fireballs. A crying ingot, a crying smithing template found in random chests and a set of crying armor complete the new equipment, and advancements track progress through the structure. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Fabric and Forge, across 13 release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.8, under All rights reserved.
