When Dungeons Arise FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I find my first Dungeons Arise structure?
Explore the surface and use a structure-locating command or an explorer-type map mod, since Dungeons Arise dungeons generate in most biomes but are spread far apart. If you already know a structure's name, the mod's locate command is the fastest way to get its coordinates.
Why can't I find any dungeons near spawn?
Dungeons Arise structures are deliberately spaced far apart, so the area around spawn is often empty. Travel several thousand blocks in any direction, or use the locate command, before assuming something is broken.
Are Dungeons Arise dungeons supposed to be this hard?
Yes, they are designed as late-game content with dense mob spawners, traps, and tough enemies. Entering with early-game gear usually ends badly, so treat them as a goal to work toward rather than a first-day activity.
Do I need a special key or item to open dungeon doors or chests?
Most Dungeons Arise structures use vanilla-style doors, levers, and chests, though some rooms hide their entrances behind puzzles or breakable walls. Look for pressure plates, buttons, and suspicious block placements rather than expecting a unique key item.
How do I stop mobs from constantly spawning inside a dungeon I've cleared?
Break the spawners you find, since they keep producing enemies even after you've killed everything nearby. Torching the interior also helps, but spawners are the main source of respawning mobs.
Can I disable or blacklist specific Dungeons Arise structures?
Yes, the mod's config files let you toggle individual structures or adjust their spawn rates. Check the config folder for the mod and edit the relevant entries, then reload the world or restart the game.
Will Dungeons Arise structures spawn in modded or custom biomes?
It depends on how the structure's biome tags are set up, and many structures are restricted to specific biome types. Structures tied to vanilla biomes may not appear in heavily modded dimensions, so check the config if you're not seeing them.
Does Dungeons Arise work with other structure mods?
It generally coexists with other structure mods, but overlapping generation can cause clipping or buried entrances. If you see broken structures, try adjusting spawn spacing in the configs or removing conflicting structure mods.
Why is my game lagging when I'm near a Dungeons Arise structure?
These structures are large and densely packed with blocks, entities, and spawners, which strains rendering and tick performance. Lowering render distance, reducing entity counts, or installing performance mods usually helps.
Can I use commands to teleport to or delete a Dungeons Arise structure?
You can teleport to a structure's coordinates with the locate command, and you can remove structures by clearing the area with fill or by editing the config to stop them generating. There is no single command that deletes an entire generated structure in one step.
