When Dungeons Arise Wiki & Guide

When Dungeons Arise adds dozens of hand-crafted dungeons across the Overworld, Nether, and End dimensions, ranging from small ground-level structures to massive multi-level complexes. Structures include castles, ships, towers, temples, and themed dungeons, each with unique layouts, loot, and difficulty levels. You can find a complete list of all structures and their locations in the Finding When Dungeons Arise Structures guide.

Dungeons spawn naturally as you explore your world, but you can also use commands or creative mode to locate them faster. The mod integrates with your map, and structures typically appear in biomes that match their theme—desert temples in deserts, ocean ships in oceans, and so on. Check the Finding When Dungeons Arise Structures guide for detailed tips on locating specific structure types.

Structures are organized into tiers that indicate their difficulty and the quality of loot inside—higher tiers have stronger mobs, more complex layouts, and better rewards. Understanding tiers helps you choose which dungeons to raid based on your gear and experience level. Read Understanding Structure Tiers and Difficulty for a breakdown of what to expect at each tier.

Some When Dungeons Arise structures spawn as floating builds in the sky, which can block your view and feel immersion-breaking. You can disable all flying structures using the No Flying Structures Resource Pack, or manually remove them using the guide in Disabling Flying Structures for a Cleaner Sky.
