This mod will add dungeons meant to resemble levels from retro "2 1/2d" first-person shooters, and was inspired by earlier dungeons mods and by Oblige (especially version 3.57), a random level generator for Doom. The goal is to create interesting, tactically challenging, and highly varied multi-room dungeons that are fun to explore and rewarding to conquer.

I fear this is the final version, this mod dies in 1.12.2; all attempts to update have failed, resulting only in crashing the game.
Note that in Minecraft 1.12.2 you may get some "Cascading Worldgen" warnings. This is the results of intended behavior; its a design flaw but not actually a bug. There is no cascading chain reaction.
This really is almost certainly the final version of this mod. There really isn't much in the way of new features I want to add to this now, but do hope to keep updating to new game versions -- even if I update to the next game version it will be with no new features (same mod version).
Mods the Support Doomlike Dungeons
These mods are known to add mobs to Doomlike Dungeons automatically:
Try them out if you want even more challenging dungeons! Especially with higher difficulty settings, the dungeons are limited by the difficulty range of vanilla mobs. Adding these mods will allow harder dungeons to reach their full potential.
Mod Packs
Yes, you can use this in modpacks -- this mod was made with modpacks in mind and to be modpack friendly by allowing use of content from other mods.

Im looking for a dungeon mod which generates dungeons in the overworld with modded loot and mobs (for modded endgame)
Is something like this existing, because I didnt found anything
In reply to demonsterunderyourbed:
This can be made to do that, but it requires editing some files (the theme files for mobs and the chests.cfg for loot); some mods do add their own mobs but not most. I designed this for mid- to late game, but not really end-game, but it can be made end game with editing since I made it customizable.
As for other mod, I know Roguelike Dungeons has very hard lower levels, but they start with easy levels being designed to become the whole game. Xyroc is working on a Dungeon Crawl mod for newer version (I don't really play those versions). Unfortunately I'm out of the loop, but only know most dungeon mods of old have died. So I don't know what to tell you on that.
you have over one million downloads in 3 months on your latest 1.12 version. I think staying with 1.12 is completely fine.
Erm... I'm not an expert but what's about making some sort/kind of a core (mod)? For instance a "DoomLib" or something similar to make it possible to update the mod for newer versions?
(Note: If this turns out to be possible then if you want to use name "DoomLib". Do it!)
In reply to FrostStormRage:
My first reaction was "No way -- core mods are beyond me or what I want to try." However, thinking about another idea it occurred to me what would be needed would be a hacked chunk provider that inserts an extra decoration step which modders could use to build into a chunk using their own code, probably with a few standard formats/systems and a way to extend it. I have no idea if I could pull that off (or how much stress I want to endure trying), but if I had something like that I'd probably call it something like MDDLib (Mega-Dungeons and Decorators Library) if that is not taken.
One thing though: A big part of the problem is that I've had a lot of trouble and failure even getting the dev environment set-up and working; after installing an extension to some dev tool apparently broke all existing projects I was never able to get it working again, and at a certain point I decided it wasn't worth the rage and misery I was putting myself through to make it work. Whether or not I'd be able to get it working for 1.15+ or if I even want to try is another matter.
In reply to JaredBGreat:
Well, if you are THAT tired, then don't do it! Don't try to code it, just take a break with mod creation (as of whole) or just quite it! Because if dev tools are broken then logically speaking you will not be able to create ANY mods if the tools aren't functioning properly!
1.15?
In reply to mercysplays:
All attempts to update past 1.12.2 have led only to crashes, frustration, and rage.
To make it worse, I need a special launcher to even run 1.15 vanilla, since the vanilla launcher won't even run it -- meaning so far I've only played about 30 minutes of 1.15 and that wasn't until a couple of weeks ago.
I've been having some 'strangeness' with DLD lately, and it happens while its on its own as well.
Spawnners do not work if a dungeon is summoned via command (since previous comments I have gotten it working). Either they appear normal but simply don't spawn anything, or show as empty with no mob inside tagged as 'ERROR'.
Chests don't seem to be giving much loot, only several 'stacks' of items (a sword, a few apples, a potion, armor piece, etc)
Are there any known causes or fixes for these?
In reply to tinkerskyblock:
You can turn the loot up in the config file -- even edit it quite a bit.
As for the rest, I'll have to look and see if something has changed with new Forge versions that might explain those things.
In reply to tinkerskyblock:
Also, having the resource locations of mobs wrong will cause them not to spawn, and those have changed -- so if you are using old themes that could cause the problem.
In reply to JaredBGreat:
as far as is known and determinable, all themes are current and no other mod (as tested when DLD was not with excess mods) affects spawners or loot in any way
In reply to tinkerskyblock:
What Forge version is it? What version of the game (is it 1.12.2)? I don't have it with the latest recommended Forge version for 1.12.2 but haven't tested it with the latest experimental version. I haven't tested it with 1.12.0 either since only 1.12.2 is officially supported. Using Forge version <small>14.23.5.2768 (for 1.12.2) everything works fine for me.</small>
In reply to JaredBGreat:
Currently, I use anywhere from the mentioned 2768 forge version to 2847, which is my preference due to some mods such as forestry requiring it as their minimum. Yes, it is Minecraft 1.12.2, and other than these numbers mentioned the rest of the forge version is accurate on all counts. Some mods such as apotheosis seem to worsen the problem, but even without them it still has a notable portion of 'ERROR' spawners, as well as now on the subject a high amount of flooded dungeons, beit water filled or guardian riddled
In reply to tinkerskyblock:
I don't understand, since it works fine for me. I guess I could re-install to make sure nothing has been accidentally changed in the default themes.
In reply to JaredBGreat:
Would a screenshot of an error'd spawner help any?
In reply to tinkerskyblock:
I suspect it's an empty spawner with fire particles but no little mob -- that is what happens when an is invalid mob name is used, something that seems to happen when it doesn't know what mob to use.
Really, though, I doubt a picture would help/
In reply to JaredBGreat:
That is what's happening, but what mob(s) is it trying to draw?
Edit: After thinking on it, does DLD support Lycanites mobs in its spawners? I've occasionally gotten 200,000+ warns in my log for them after removing the mod and config but it didn't appear to have to do with anything
In reply to tinkerskyblock:
It should work with Lycanite's mobs -- unless Lycanite has changed something. It used to be that Lycanite's mobs would add its mobs to spawners automatically.
Spawners don't store mobs (in code), they store resource locations, names of mobs -- if the game can't find the mob by the name given it just doesn't draw anything and won't spawn them either, but may give errors. I don't know if the errors tell anything useful about what mob was there, they are from vanilla code, but I think they do. If there is an error message that names the mob it would be useful to see. A tiny typo and the mob or wrong capitalization and it won't be recognized.
In reply to JaredBGreat:
If I could find you that error name I'll be giving it to you
I think my previous reply may have been misunderstood. Will DLD spawners still try to draw Lycanites mobs if the mod and config has been removed? I've had other problems namely with Ice and Fire, and Lycanites, where removing the mod and relevant files left behind embedded pieces of itself in other mods and other aspects that caused issues, I'm wondering if this is one of those
