How to Find and Prepare for Custom Dungeons

Spotting Structures in the Overworld

Cursed Relics Dungeons generate across different themes and biomes, using a puzzle-like system so no two layouts feel identical. One of the easiest structures to spot from a distance is the massive stone fortress found in snowy landscapes, often standing near rivers. Look for tall stone battlements, hanging icicles, and large patterned relic blocks along the roofs. As you travel through grassy fields, keep an eye out for scattered custom blocks and small black dragons, which also signal mod encounters nearby.

Preparing Before You Enter

Every dungeon is built to be a tough fight guarded by custom monsters and hidden hazards. Before stepping inside, pack a solid set of vanilla survival essentials:

• Light sources: Interiors consist of dark stone chambers lit mainly by glowing hanging lanterns, so bring plenty of torches to raise visibility and mark cleared paths.
• Tools and blocks: Carry pickaxes and spare building blocks to test suspicious walls, bridge gaps, and wall off doorways when overwhelmed.
• Armor, shields, and food: Bring reliable combat gear and healing items to carry you until you loot the mod's own tools, weapons, and equipment inside.

Place a bed outside the entrance before breaching the main halls so an unexpected trap or guard ambush does not send you all the way back to world spawn.
