When Dungeons Arise FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
What structures does When Dungeons Arise add to my world?
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.
How do I find dungeons from this mod?
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.
What are structure tiers and how do they affect difficulty?
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.
Why are there flying ships and castles in the sky, and can I remove them?
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.
Do I need special gear or preparation before raiding a dungeon?
Yes—higher-tier dungeons contain dangerous mobs and traps, so you should bring appropriate armor, weapons, and supplies before entering. The Preparing for Your First Dungeon Raid guide walks you through what gear, food, and tools you'll need depending on the structure's difficulty.
Can I use When Dungeons Arise with other mods?
When Dungeons Arise is compatible with most mods, but conflicts can occur with mods that heavily modify world generation or structure spawning. If you experience issues, try disabling other world-gen mods one at a time to identify the culprit, or check community forums for known incompatibilities.
Does this mod work on servers?
Yes, When Dungeons Arise works on both single-player and multiplayer servers. Make sure all players have the mod installed on their client, and the server has it installed as well if it's a modded server.
Will this mod affect my world's performance?
When Dungeons Arise can impact performance depending on your computer and how many structures spawn nearby, especially if you're rendering large castles or ships. If you experience lag, try adjusting the mod's configuration to reduce structure spawn rates or disable certain structure types.
What loot can I find in When Dungeons Arise dungeons?
Loot varies by structure and tier, ranging from common items in low-tier dungeons to rare enchanted gear and unique items in high-tier structures. Each dungeon has themed loot chests that match its purpose—a pirate ship will have different rewards than a wizard's tower.
Can I customize which structures spawn in my world?
Yes, you can configure the mod's settings to enable or disable specific structures, adjust spawn rates, and control which dimensions structures appear in. Check your mod's configuration files or in-game settings menu to customize your experience.
