This mod will add dungeons meant to resemble levels from retro "2 1/2d" first-person shooters and RPGs, 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.
(There may however be a sequel or more heavy-weight {meaning, mobs, blocks, etc.} mod coming out sometime, though, depending and how I manage my time concerning other idea and real life.)
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.
Thanks to some help from XIROC1337 a 1.14 update is a possibility again. If you are looking for a 1.14 alternative to GreyMerk's Roguelike Dungeons, check out his Dungeon Crawl mod.
Hi, I've been thinking about making the switch from Roguelike Dungeons to this mod, but I have a couple of questions. Do you happen to know offhand if your mod is better for performance? Or is it roughly the same?
And I see that you consider the mod to be feature-complete (congratulations!) for 1.12.2 - will you continue to support it in terms of bugfixes etc? Or are you going to focus on other projects? No hard feelings either way, I just wanted to know. :)
Thank you for your time, and all your hard work!
PS - I'm sorry 1.14 has been giving you trouble.
In reply to monsterpants:
I really don't know how the mods compare in terms of performance -- I usually have both installed at once. I do know that it can create short lag spikes for larger dungeons, but no worse than villages or Java cleaning its memory up. It only effects perfomance directly at that point.
I do plan on fixing any bugs that come up. I have debated a sequel that would do things I decided this never would (like be required client side in multiplayer). Lately I've been focusing on climatic biomes and bug-fixes for dungeon mobs, but will continue responding to bugs in any of them.
In reply to JaredBGreat:
Ah, I'm glad to hear they're both compatible, in case I decide to go that route! And that does make sense re: the lag spikes, world generation is pretty intensive anyway, so I suppose it's not a huge deal. :)
I'm glad to hear about the bug fixes! I'm not ready to move on from 1.12 yet, so continued support is definitely appreciated (although I completely understand authors who prefer not to).
If you ever do decide to do a more daring sequel, I would definitely be interested in seeing what you come up with! I'm sure I'm not the only one, either.
Thank you very much for the response! It's appreciated. :D
Aww I'm sad to hear that it's so much trouble to get you mod working on 1.14, I was hoping to use this but I imagine if I put it on my server and have to remove it later it'll probably mess things up?
I do hope 1.14 happens, but I get how screwed the transition between 1.12 and 1.14 has been for everyone.
Is Doomlike Dungeons II still a possibility? :S
In reply to Frozen_Photon:
Doomlike Dungeon II is still something I'm thinking of. It would be defined be adding content that would break the ability to run server side only.
"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."
"sad gamer noises" :(
In reply to BUSTY_DRAGON:
Everything ends sometime ... but maybe someone will come along and figure it out.
There is a new version out -- unfortunately its NOT an update to 1.14 (I still suspect this will die in 1.12), but it does add some tweaks to the loot system to hopefully make it just a little better.
Can this be updated to 1.14+ and better loot drops?
In reply to Tyiarra:
1.13 / 1.14 -- maybe, I hope so. I've been too pre-occupied with other things to really learn the new modding system so far.
Better loot drops ... well you can config it to do that, though I need to work out a better transition between basic and OP loot.
EDIT: Actually, though my hope for this has been dying; if modding was like it is now back in 1.5 when I started this there is a good chance I'd never have made anything. Or maybe I would, no way to know. But more and more it looks like all my mods may just die in 1.12. So far all I've managed to do with newer versions is crash the game. :(
In reply to JaredBGreat:
Aw, I know it's a tad' selfish but, my friends and I thoroughly enjoyed your mods, could you please not give up about it ?
Ask around on the forums/Discord mods developpers servers for similar mods what could be the issues with your code for 1.14, pretty sure some are willing to help.
Maybe this mod's author could give a few pointers : Dungeon Crawl
Best of luck to you, thanks for what you've done so far in any case !
In reply to Shyning:
Well, we can see if I have a flash of insight, or if someone good at the new version comes along to help.
In reply to JaredBGreat:
Well I would love to help in case you've not given up entirely on 1.14. :)
In reply to XIROC1337:
Thanks. I started a 1.14.4 update -- but never did figure out how to make the structure generate. I start this in 1.5 as a total noob who didn't know what I was doing; the age and some bad design choices are both starting to show. It also doesn't fit well with the modern system because the dungeon is basically one big piece, with entrances, chests, and spawners added at the end and called "pieces" in the code -- but there are no pieces or starts the way originally designed.
The 1.14.4 code is here: https://github.com/BlackJar72/DoomlikeDungeons/tree/MC1.14.4
...and I don't remember if the last version was one that crashed or one that did nothing. Most versions it didn't seem to be registered or run any dungeon code, though it would run what was supposed to be the registeration code.
Thanks so much -- if you can help figure out how to generate in 1.14 a lot of people will be very happy.

If you want to talk more and have discord you can ping or pm me once you get there.
This mod seems to become silly on modded minecraft because you mostly find food that you don't need. XD Great mod otherwise.
In reply to Eriyasansan:
You can actually configure the loot ... mostly for mod pack authors, but its there ... doesn't seemed be used as much as it used to be, though.
In reply to JaredBGreat:
Yes, I've heard. It sounds great but I'm just too lazy to look into it.
New plan: This is probably the final version (other than possible tiny tweaks) of Doomlike Dungeons 1.x.
Once I get Climatic Biomes in good state and updated to 1.13 (I may learn a lot doing that) I hope to start on Doomlike Dungeon II for 1.13 and 1.14, though it may be a little bit before that happen. In the meantime feel free to check out the new mod.
