What it does

YUNG's Better Dungeons changes how dungeons are generated in the world. Vanilla dungeon layouts are redesigned, and the mod adds new dungeon types on top of them. The author states it is meant to work alongside other worldgen mods.

Installation needs Cloth Config API and YUNG's API on every loader, and Fabric API on Fabric. Mod Menu is optional. Server-side only: the server needs the mod and players do not. Published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, across 11 release versions, and licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, which is open source. Source code and an issue tracker are linked.

Key features

  1. Redesigned vanilla dungeons

    Dungeons that generate in vanilla terrain are reshaped, so existing dungeon types appear with a different layout.

  2. New dungeon types

    Dungeon types absent from vanilla terrain are added, to be found while exploring the world.

  3. Cave dungeons

    Added underground dungeon structures give players further areas to explore below ground.

  4. Worldgen compatibility

    The author states the mod is meant to work alongside other worldgen mods, so it can sit in a pack with them.
