Sorry for the lateness. v0.18.0 release!

No OSX build for the moment. Hopefully soon. I highly recommend folks use Python anyway.

https://github.com/orphu/mcdungeon/releases/tag/v0.18.0

!! NOTE: This version requires Minecraft 1.12 release or higher!

!! NOTE: MCDungeon Python now requires pyyaml and nbt2yaml python modules.

• Added 1.12 blocks. (Concrete, Glazed Terracotta) (JiFish)
• Added Mosaic floor types based on Glazed Terracotta blocks. (JiFish)
• Fixes for 1.11 and 1.12 mobs and entites. (orphu, JiFish)
• Custom items, and spawners are now YAML files instead of NBT. (JiFish)
• Evoker spawners only appear in the hard mode config. (orphu)
• Circle of skulls has more variety now. (JiFish)
• Stairwells no longer contain subfloor blocks. (orphu)
• Parrots appear in Oasis entrances. (orphu)
• Interactive mode does a better job validating inputs. (orphu)
• Knowlege books with a random recipe added as loot. You can customise the recipes using recipes.txt. (JiFish)
• Lucky blocks sample config has been removed due to being very out of date. If you have a replacement or configs for other mods, please let us know!

MCDungeon will create a procedurally generated dungeon in a preexisting minecraft map. It is not yet feature complete, but can already generate dungeons with quite a bit of variety. It is written in Python and makes use of code from Paul Hodge's minetown project and codewarrior's pymclevel.I primarily use this for SMP and multiworld via Craftbukkit and MultiVerse. But it works just fine in single player too.Thanks to the following for their interest, inspiration, and great ideas!

Current Features

• Automatically finds a good location on a map based on range, size, and depth parameters. Can detect player structures and try not to overwrite them.
• Dungeons can be removed from a map later and the landscape allowed to regenerate.
• Dungeons can be regenerated in place with a new layout, mobs, and treasure.
• Can generate multiple of dungeons in a map, or try to fill the map with as many dungeons as possible.
• Generates room layouts based on a random weighted selection of rooms. Rooms are filled with ranomd hallways, floors, room features, and ruins on the surface, all of which are configurable.
• The density and placement of doors, portcullises, and torches are configurable. Option to place fewer torches as levels go down. Less light == more danger!
• A "hard mode" that will attempt to fill in nearby natural caves in an attempt to concentrate random monster spawns inside the dungeon.
• Places stairwells between levels, and a tower entrance with a spiraling staircase. The tower height is configurable so it can be seen for many chunks.
• Optionally places an exit portal at the bottom of the dungeon to teleport players out to the surface. (requires command blocks)
• Places chests with loot around the dungeon in (probably) hard to reach places. An arbitrary number of loot tables can be configured to provide variety. The density of chests is configurable.
• Places mob spawners throughout the dungeon. These will likely be near chests, but not always. Mob types are configurable. The density of spawners is configurable. Some 'non-standard' mobs are available.
• Random placement of secret traps.
• Output floor maps to a terminal with color on ANSI systems.
• Output entire dungeon maps to HTML.
• Other things I've left out to avoid spoilers.

GIANT WARNING TEXT

This tool will write data to your minecraft maps and may destroy them! MCDungeon will attempt to avoid player structures, but there is no guarantee. NEVER run this against a map that is currently loaded into Minecraft! Make Backups! Work with copies! I'm not responsible if it destroys your 120+ hour Justin Bieber pixel art!

The map tool tries not to overwrite player structures...What happens if finds a place ideal for a dungeon but a town/mineshaft/water dungeon is already there? Can the dungeons exist in the ocean? (that would be cool...)

love this mod keep updating as you will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quote from Shmks

As I mentioned, I've been playing on some servers with other folks, mostly one or two others. As it is, the default config works well for one or two players. However, as more players than that join in, simply increasing the number of chunks the dungeon covers isn't exactly the right way to make things fun. I'd love to hear from anyone running multiplayer servers. Any suggestions on a config for dungeons tailored to lots of players?

• New Feature: WildGrowth (JiFish)
• New entrance variations for Mesa and Ice Spike biomes. (orphu)
• River and ocean biome exclusions are now configurable. (orphu) See default.cfg for details.
• Interactive mode will now prompt for max_dist value to help avoid confusion for new users. (JiFish)
• Progress now reports how many dungeons have been placed. (orphu)
• Changed config layout to make distributing themed configs easier. (JiFish)
• Improved carpets in chapels. (JiFish)
• Added more paintings. (JiFish)
• Updated existing paintings to use expanded map palette. (JiFish)
• Added 1.7 materials to various dungeon features (JiFish, orphu)
• Added 1.7 fishing pole enchantments. (orphu)
• Lowered the default silverfish concentration since explosions now trigger silverfish to spawn. (orphu)
• Moved blocks out of items.txt to materials.cfg. This allows more control over how blocks are used in the dungeons without requiring code changes. (orphu)
• Fixed a bug that caused the dungeon placer to give up early when placing multiple dungeons of a fixed depth. (orphu)

        return 'Dungeon!'

Thank you for the new release.

Amending my post on Wednesday, September 20, 2017. 6 days after I originally had written this thank you.

First, I've been lurking the forums since 2011. I finally created an account 2 years ago―time flies―to comment on MCDungeon and ask questions. MCDungeon is pretty much the only thing I've ever commented on here.

Minecraft Land Generator is what I had previously used to generate chunks. This last go around, I just expanded my map organically as I played and waited for v0.18.0 to be released.

You can run and re-run MCDungeon as needed. Just be sure to reconfig the minimum distance of chunks so that you aren't over-populating a central area of your map. Running a MCDungeon a few times with different configs is also a good way to mix up the dungeons a bit more. I will typically run 4 or 5 passes with different configs. Things like increasing the heights of towers a bit or using a config with a bit more difficulty or great range of levels helps to randomize the MCDungeon experience. I feel like by doing this, I'm able to achieve a good mix of dungeons.

Now, for a few compliments. Again, thank you for creating this. What a fantastic tool. I don't like using mods beyond Optifine. I used to use Forge (and modloader) back in the day when modding was much more complex. However, in the last few years of Minecrafting, I've stuck with vanilla. At some point, I got tired of the upgrade cycle. New version from Mojang. Wait for Optifine. Wait for Forge. Wait for updated mods. (Or optionally just stick with a particular version.) My preference is to play the latest and greatest without playing the waiting game beyond Optifine, so that's why I play vanilla.

That's also why MCDungeon is perfect for me as opposed to a Forge mod. I love that I can custom configure and create the experience I want. I love that I have a variety of options. I love that the dungeons can be varied. I love the built-in variables and included lore elements even if I were to only run the standard config. I love this program.

When I first started playing Minecraft, it was a strict survival horror building game. At some point, probably beta 1.8, Minecraft started including elements borrowed from TES. Which is fantastic. I love TES games. Levels. Enchantments... All of it. So, that's how I now tend to play. Like Minecraft is a CRPG.

With this fantastic tool, I can use procedural generation to create complex dungeons complete with shops and artifacts... Which makes Minecraft even more like a TES game. Dungeon crawling with the family in Minecraft is epic.

I'm not sure how popular MCDungeon actually is, but man, if you play survival, you should be using this tool.

Closing up the compliments, I must also add that MCDungeon is fast. Much faster than I would have expected. And despite having a command line interface, could not be any easier to use.


10/10. A must have.

I'm still watching. Thank you for the heads up. I was just about to run v0.17.1 on my 1.12 map. [thumbs up emoji]

Quote from flanigomik

so your documentation says there is a v0.14.0 but i can find no such thing. is there a way to get at this version or is it a typo? cause i want to test things if it is real . if there is some sort of command i need to do to get the dev version could you please tell me? the doc doesn't. thanks!

Quote from evilsupahfly

Pffft. Easier said than done. Python made my brain hurt (which is probably because I took crappy Visual basic 5 in college [guess that dates me... Huh...] *lol*)

Quote from Assassin X

I'm so confused. It says I don't need any mods for this. But it says I need Python and Numpy. What are those? How do use them? I'm not a geek really when it comes to this stuff.

Quote from gabemorningstar

Hey eggplant. I want to say first off thanks for this awesome minecrat tool, it is epic!. I have used it before with great success however now while attempting to generate dungeons in MC 1.7.2 it tells me that it has placed none. I set all of the settings in terms of size and number to 5 so i dont think there should be any problem there. I am not using any mods. and the distance from spawn is set to 1. Am i missing something? Thanks again!

• How big is the map you're working on?
• How much of the map is water?
• What are the min & max from spawn?
• What's been set in the config file?
• What is fill_caves set to?
• Do you have a log file or terminal output you can post?

This delves more into overviewer support, but it looks like you didn't generate your points of interest. (I don't see the option on the map)

Quote from Narkah

Me sthupidth. Me canth runth ith. Now, back into the realm of reality. I have NO idea on how to start it up. All I want to do is add a bunch of dungeons ti my world. I dont care if it overwrites my stuff. I dont care if my entire world is a dungeon. All I want to do is run it on default. I have NO idea what pyton is. I really just need a good tutorial that is written (I can't watch youtube). Please either make one or link one. Thanks youth for helthing sthupith me.

Quote from jackass2345

i try running the mcdungeon application since i don't really know how to use python and all that. (sorry i am a noob to this, i have never used this before) But after i click on it, a small black screen appears as if something is trying to run but quickly closes then nothing happens. Any help please?
