MCDungeon Tool — Guide

Mechanics

MCDungeon Tool implements several core mechanics to create dynamic and varied dungeon experiences.

Procedural Generation: Dungeons are generated with random, complex layouts, ensuring unique experiences with each creation.
Intelligent Placement: The tool automatically identifies suitable locations on a map based on range, size, and depth parameters. It can also detect existing player structures and attempt to avoid overwriting them.
Dungeon Management: Dungeons can be removed from a map, allowing the landscape to regenerate, or regenerated in place with new layouts, mobs, and treasure.
Multi-Dungeon Support: Capable of generating multiple dungeons within a single map, or filling the map with as many dungeons as possible.
Configurable Elements: Almost every aspect of dungeon generation is configurable, including:
Room layouts based on weighted selections.
Hallways, traps, floors, and room features.
Density and placement of doors, portcullises, and torches.
Option for fewer torches on lower levels to increase difficulty.
Hard Mode: An optional 'hard mode' attempts to fill in nearby natural caves, concentrating monster spawns inside the dungeon for increased challenge.
Navigation: Stairwells connect dungeon levels, and tower entrances often feature spiraling staircases. Entrances can take many forms.
Exiting Dungeons: An optional command block-powered portal can be placed at the bottom of a dungeon to teleport players out.
Treasure and Mobs: Chests with loot are placed in hard-to-reach locations, with configurable density and arbitrary loot tables. Mob spawners are placed throughout, often near chests, with configurable types and density, including some 'non-standard' mobs.
Secrets: Random placement of secret traps and secret rooms adds an element of discovery.
Output Options: The tool can output floor maps to a terminal (with color on ANSI systems) and entire dungeon maps to HTML. It also provides Point of Interest (POI) information for tools like Minecraft Overviewer.
