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.

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

"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.
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.
Can I use this mod server side only?
In reply to Platipucat:
Yes, this can be used server-side like a (Forge based) plugin.
How can I add the vanilla loottables to the DLD loot list? The default list is basically worthless on a modded world and all the standard dungeon loot has been injected into default loot tables
In reply to zentraxius:
Right now there really is no way to do that.
I may re-add the ability to use vanilla chest loot at some point (its bigger than the bug-fixes I've been doing).
You can add the modded loot directly to the loot lists, though; this old-school way is why the mod was designed to be able to export lists of items / blocks / mobs.
Does this mod still spawn creature spawners from Lycanites Mobs? I have both mods installed on my 1.12.2 Forge SMP server, but the DL Dungeons only have vanilla spawners. How do I enable Lycanite creature spawners in DL Dungeons?
In reply to Fandomaniac70850:
As far as a I know it will, and Lycanite still claims too support it. You shouldn't have to do anything (that's the point) -- you could add basically add any mobs from any mod by editing themes, but mods that support the API should do it for you be default. I looks like support still exists.
EDIT: There are still lines in the config that imply that it should work, but trying it with the latest version (I often play older game version) and it doesn't seem to work anymore.
In reply to Fandomaniac70850:
I talked to Lycanite. He intends for Lycanites mobs to be added to the dungeons but it may not be working. He plans to test it and take a look. The way my API is used has changed, so that might have broken things.
I think its about time a declare that I am "retiring" from moding -- this and Climatic Biomes will most likely "die" in 1.12.2, and likely Dungeons Mobs (again) if Sunconure doen't fully take over. Climatic may get a few minor feature updats for the 1.12.2 edition. Of course, this assumes no one takes them over and continues them (they are open source).
I don't have the time, or at this point modtivation, to deal with updating to 1.13.2 with all its changes. If I find time to work on a game related project, at this point I'd rather start on my own game anyway.
