Doomlike Dungeons

Table of Contents

This mod is for those who want adventure, danger, and, uh, violence. Yeah, there are plenty of dungeons mods out there, but why not one one more? This was inspired by Oblige, a random level generator for Doom, Heretic, Hexen, and similar games, and attempt to put similar, Doomlike content into Minecraft. The goal is to create interesting, tactically challenging, and highly varied multi-room dungeons that are fun to explore and rewarding to conquer.

See Minecraft Forum page for more information: http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-mods/1293843-doomlike-dungeons

(There really isn't much in the way of new features I want to add to this now, but do hope to keep updating to new game versions. There may however be a sequel or more heavy-weight {meaning, mobs, blocks, etc.} mod coming out sometime, though, depending and how I manage my time concerning other idea and real life.)

Note that in Minecraft 1.12.2 you may get some "Cascading Worldgen" warnings. This is the results of intended behavior; its a design flaw but not actually a bug. There is no cascading chain reaction.

This really is almost certainly the final version of this mod -- even if I update to the next game version it will be with no new features (same mod version). Any further development, if any, will go into a sequel written from scratch to do somethings right that Doomlike Dungeons simply does wrong.

Yes, there are. They are hard to miss, but are also effected by the same rarity and spawn protection variables are in the overworld.

Hi there Blackjar! Playin around with tuning the loot in the dungeons of this mod, and trying to get my head around what some of the config values mean in the "loot" section:

You distinguish between "basic" and "treasure" chests. Tell me if I'm wrong, but, are "basic" chests what most chests spawn as, and are "treasure" chests the chests that you randomly see that just have "more loot than normal"?

And is it just the quantity of loot, or do "treasure" chests have "higher level" loot, like, are they more likely to have stuff from "heal 5, 6, 7" and "loot 6, 7, 8"?

And finally: Are the A1, B1, C1, and A2, B2, C2 values only for the quantity of loot in chests? Or do those specific numbers increase the "level" of the loot as well? And, same question for the "loot bonus", does that increase "level", "quantity", or "both"? My guess would be "Loot bonus is for quality, A B and C values are for quantity", but I wanted to be sure.

Thanks again for the mod, and your time. It continues to be a favorite.

In reply to Teeto_Kaziim:

Treasure chests are the ones "boss" rooms, that sit on top of a (usually) harder spawner. Basic chests are everything else.

Tht A, B, and C numbers are for the quntity of loot. Only Loot Bonus effects the level of loot. Be careful with loot bonus -- gear and healing only have seven levels, that usually go up steadily, but "loot" items (treasure) has a special eighth level that represents special treasure and just ahead a lot -- turnin up Loot Bonus by much at all can make things really OP.

Thanks so much, this lines up with my suspicions and testing, but I wanted to confirm my suspicions because you know how it is with "RNG" stuff, a simple anomalous spike in your data can lead to false conclusions. So some "word of law" from the author is super useful.

I mostly wanted some assurance that twiddling with the ABC values would not lock players out of getting higher tier treasure completely.

The best to ya, and thanks again!

It possible to add loot to chests from mod "Electroblob's Wizardry" https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/electroblobs-wizardry ? There are so many different books (more than a hundred) and I would not like to prescribe manually every...
Is it possible to set a random drop? for example:

from "ebwizardry:spell_book:1" to "ebwizardry:spell_book:140". (1 and 140 this is meta)

In reply to Pyromanc3r:

Hypothetically, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to add special compatibility code for every mod out there that has a lot of items. That would make more sense as a compatibility add-on. Whether or not I'd have to time to do it or make it a priority is another matter -- most like I wouldn't.

Its more work for me to hard-code it into the mod than for you to make a file -- why don't you make a file of the books that can be pasted in and then share if with others if you like?

Thanks. Doomlike Dungeons is basically done, but I have ideas for a kind of sequel that might coexist with it.

Yes it does. Technically it doesn't even have to be on the client (like a plugin).

(This is one things that might be different in a sequel of heavy-weight counterpart, if such a thing ever exists.)

Hi,I'm Ansuz,the one who has problem on chinese input.
At same time while JAVA learning,I'm still trying find a way to bypass the problem of chinese and special symbols input,to tell the truth,I have no interest in programming,it just a need.
Now I found a way to bypass the problem,just use notepad++ change the coding format of nbt.cfg to ANSI,and just typing the special symbols or chinese normally as the string example,but don't use double quotation mark,cause that I don't find the way to add space in the string.
So I said it here just to get other people who want to input special symbols to know the way.

Now I don't need to learn programming,but bypassed problem,can concentrate on my modpack now,such a good ending.

In reply to AnsuzPantognestous:

Yes, I knew that would work. I guess its not obvious to everyone. Java handles the special characters. The quotation marks are completely optional; I add the ability to use quotation marks to make typing things with spaces easier. No one has to use quotation marks.

The way you are doing it is how I expected people to do it.

how rare are the "rare treasure chests"? the ones, where loot level 8 stuff generates? i think i remember from really long time ago that they only generate in the nether, is that right?

In reply to Flemmli97:

That depends on difficulty -- better loot is found with more / harder monsters, and higher difficulty give more / harder monsters (especially if you have modded mobs). Also, dungeons with more entrance have fewer treasure / boss rooms.

Basically, you only treasure chests in special destination rooms, where they sit over a spawner for a harder mob. That chance that it will have level 8 loot depends on how hard that mob is, but it is very rare unless you have hard or nightmare dungeons set in the config, and only common on nightmare with a spawner that produces actual bosses such as Withers.

Hey, it seems like you're fairly active here BlackJar72, so I thought I'd ask a question about the chests.cfg file.

I'm setting up my own loot tables, and I've noticed that your dungeons seem to generate random enchanted books in the chests. But, the chests.cfg doesn't seem to have any entries for :

loot, 1, minecraft:enchanted_book, 1, 1

Or anything similar. I would like to keep these enchanted books spawning (I think they are a nice feature), is it perhaps these entries that are causing it to generate the enchanted books?

loot, 2, minecraft:book, 1, 1

Thanks again, and the best to ya.

In reply to Teeto_Kaziim:

Yes, its those -- it basically see's a book and says, "OK, now act like an enchanting table" (except treasure enchants are allowed). It then converts the loot level into levels to enchant with.

I'm no sure if enchanting an enchanted book would work -- I didn't see it when I was adding that. Maybe later I could have it see enchanted book and then convert it to a regular book it could enchant? Not now though, I have several other things going and the current system works well enough.

No worries, knowing this is plenty perfect. I just didn't want to accidentally eradicate all enchanted books from my loot pools.

Thanks again for the help and information :D.
