What is this?
A complete redesign of Minecraft's dungeons like never before. YUNG's Better Dungeons redesigns vanilla dungeons while also adding three new dungeons: Catacombs, Fortresses of the Undead, and Spider Caves!

1.19.2 introduces the Nether Update! Now you can find small Nether dungeons scattered throughout the Nether. Note that this is an extra opt-in feature, meaning you will need to manually enable it in the mod's config.

Compatibility
YUNG's Better Dungeons is intended to be fully compatible with every worldgen mod, including:

  • YUNG's Better Mineshafts
  • YUNG's Better Strongholds
  • YUNG's Extras
  • YUNG's Bridges
  • Repurposed Structures. RS also offers a custom data pack you can use in addition to the mod that adds repurposed versions of the small dungeons from Better Dungeons! Check it out here.
