New Dungeon Types in Minecraft

How often do you explore different structures in the game? Despite the abundance of biomes in the vanilla Minecraft world, there aren't that many dungeon types. Mostly, there are treasure rooms, caves, and enclosed canyons. The Nether also has several cool and interesting locations, but over time, the variety significantly decreases. That’s why it’s better to use mods to expand the selection. In this article, we review a mod that adds completely new types of dungeons to Minecraft, each with unique features and characteristics.

The Extra Dungeons mod adds a huge number of dungeons, found in deserts, snowy biomes, and underwater structures. The developer has carefully crafted the appearance of each dungeon to ensure a comfortable exploration experience. You’ll encounter spiders, drowned zombies, and many other hostile mobs. Players will have extra motivation to explore these dungeons to find valuable resources and items. This not only encourages players to seek out these structures but also diversifies the overall Minecraft gameplay.

Vanilla Minecraft lacks variety in treasure rooms and dungeons, especially on large multiplayer servers. These locations often get quickly looted after server resets, leaving little for other players. If you want to enrich your world with well-designed and engaging dungeons, this mod is perfect, adding numerous dungeons inhabited by unique mobs with valuable loot and intricate combat mechanics.

All new dungeons are scattered across different biomes such as deserts, snowy areas, plains, savannahs, and other remote regions. Whereas vanilla Minecraft limits treasure rooms to certain biomes, this mod vastly expands the variety. No matter where you are, you’ll likely find a dungeon to explore and loot. The screenshots show some of the treasure rooms added by Extra Dungeons — just a sample of the many diverse underground structures available.

Currently, 6 new dungeon types are added, each featuring different mobs. Some dungeons have modified zombies, others have cadaver-like creatures, spiders, and more. These mobs resemble vanilla ones but are unique enough to keep exploration interesting. Dungeons spawn randomly across biomes, sometimes close together, sometimes thousands of blocks apart. To generate these new structures, you’ll need to create a new world or regenerate your current map.

When exploring these dungeons, be prepared for traps. Usually, there are several traps—if you trigger a tripwire, dispensers shoot arrows that may have negative effects, dealing extra damage. The system is quite engaging: you won’t get all the loot at once, as many chests are hidden behind secret walls. Some locations require activating levers to open hidden compartments, while others hide containers behind ice blocks. The screenshots show examples of loot you can find in the chests.

Each location is unique, and if you want to diversify your gameplay and add more content, Extra Dungeons is an excellent choice. It’s great for vanilla worlds and modded environments alike. If you have trouble finding the new dungeons but can access Creative Mode, use the command /locate structure extra_dungeons and teleport to the dungeon you want to explore. The developer frequently updates the mod, so keep an eye out for new versions and improvements!
