The defining mechanic of Doomlike Dungeons is its rejection of pre-fabs. While other mods might feel repetitive once a player recognizes a specific room layout, Doomlike Dungeons uses a "Random Walk" and "Cellular Automata" inspired logic to carve out spaces.

  1. The Seed: The dungeon layout is tied to the world seed. If you share a seed, the dungeon will be exactly the same for others.
  2. The Floorplan: The mod first generates a 2D map of the dungeon, determining which cells are rooms and which are walls.
  3. The 3D Pass: The mod then applies height variations, adds pillars, and places blocks based on the theme's block families.
  4. The Population Pass: Finally, it places chests, spawners, and lighting (torches or glowstone) based on the theme's density settings.
