Overview#

Dimensional Dungeons is designed to provide an infinite supply of challenging, pre-built dungeon rooms that are randomly connected to form unique layouts. These dungeons exist in a separate dimension (dimdungeons:dungeon_dimension) to prevent overworld clutter and allow for specific gameplay rules.

Key features include:

  • Adventure Mode Mechanics: Block breaking and placing are restricted within the dungeon dimension to preserve the integrity of puzzles and combat encounters.
  • Procedural Generation: Dungeons are built from a pool of hand-crafted rooms, including combat arenas, parkour challenges, and logic puzzles.
  • Moddability: Server admins and modpack creators can add custom rooms via NBT files and override loot tables to include items from other mods.
  • Renewable Content: Portals can be reset with new keys, providing endless exploration without the need for infinite world travel.

Getting Started: Portal Construction#

To access the dungeon dimension, you must construct a specific multiblock portal structure in the Overworld. Unlike Nether portals, this structure requires specific blocks and auxiliary "spires."

The Main Frame

Build a vertical frame of Stone Bricks that is 3 blocks wide and 4 blocks tall (outer dimensions). The center 1x2 area should be empty. Replace the top-center block of the frame with a Portal Keystone.

The Spires

Place two spires exactly one block away from the sides of the main frame. Each spire must be 3 blocks tall:

  1. Bottom two blocks: Stone Bricks.
  2. Top block: Gilded Portal Block.

Activation

Once the structure is complete, you must insert an Activated Portal Key into the Portal Keystone by right-clicking it. The portal will then fill with a swirling texture, allowing you to step through.
