Official AutoCraft MineShaft

Official AutoCraft MineShaft is the ready-to-play distribution of the complete AutoCraft MineShaft dungeon-crawling experience.

Instead of installing the DAI Engine and AutoCraft MineShaft separately, this official pack brings the required components together into one installation so you can create a MineShaft world and begin descending.

Built for Minecraft 26.2 with NeoForge, the pack contains:

• DAI Engine
• AutoCraft MineShaft Data Pack

No additional gameplay mods are added to the experience.

A Dungeon That Builds Around Your Decisions

AutoCraft MineShaft is a ten-floor dungeon-crawling RPG where your route physically determines how the dungeon develops.

Begin in your protected underground Home Room, prepare your equipment and supplies, enter the MineShaft lift, and descend into a campaign of escalating encounters, branching routes, equipment progression, hazards, bosses, and environmental changes.

Clear a room to earn a MineShaft Key.

Choose one of the available routes, and the selected tunnel and next room are generated into the world.

The path you choose becomes the dungeon.

Ten Floors to Conquer

Descend through ten increasingly dangerous sections of the MineShaft:

• Floor 1 — Slimeworks
• Floor 2 — Abandoned Shafts
• Floor 3 — Flooded Excavation
• Floor 4 — Fungal Hollows
• Floor 5 — Deep Foundry
• Floor 6 — Crystal Fault
• Floor 7 — Industrial Deepworks
• Floor 8 — Nether Breach
• Floor 9 — Ancient Depths
• Floor 10 — Heart of the Mine

Each floor introduces its own environment, enemies, equipment progression, hazards, and boss encounter.

Defeat the normal rooms, obtain the Boss Key, and open the path toward the floor's final challenge.

Persistent Campaign Progression

AutoCraft MineShaft is built around repeated expeditions without forcing you to restart the entire campaign.

Your permanent floor progression remains between runs, and the Home Lift automatically targets the deepest floor you have unlocked.

If an expedition goes badly:

• Your permanent floor progression remains
• Your equipment is preserved on normal death
• Temporary MineShaft and Boss Keys are cleared
• The failed expedition can be rebuilt for another attempt

You can also use the reusable Safety Rope to deliberately abandon an expedition and return Home.

Home Between Expeditions

Your Home Room acts as the permanent center of the campaign.

It includes:

• The MineShaft Lift
• Equipment and supply space
• A protected farm
• Wheat
• Carrots
• Sweet berries
• Composting
• Storage
• The Field Guide
• Your reusable Safety Rope

Home operates differently from the dungeon itself, giving you a practical place to prepare before returning underground.

Manual Combat

AutoCraft MineShaft does not play Minecraft for you.

You control:

• Movement
• Attacking
• Aiming
• Dodging
• Weapons
• Equipment
• Food
• Route choices

DAI manages the experience systems surrounding your gameplay while every combat decision remains yours.

You begin with extremely limited equipment and gradually recover stronger weapons, armor, ranged tools, food, and specialized gear as you push deeper into the mine.

Bosses and Mementos

Every floor culminates in its own major encounter.

Defeating bosses advances the permanent campaign and awards unique mementos representing the sections of the MineShaft you have conquered.

Reach Floor 10 and the campaign ends with a three-stage final battle against:

1. Excavation Engine
2. Mine Director
3. Heartbound Director

Defeat the final phase to claim the Heart of the Mine.

A Complete AutoCraft Interface

Modern AutoCraft MineShaft extends beyond the dungeon itself.

The experience includes its own DAI-powered presentation and navigation, including:

• AutoCraft MineShaft title presentation
• New campaign controls
• Continue and save browsing
• Mine-themed loading presentation
• First-entry cinematic
• Field Menu
• Field Guide
• Custom pause interface
• Experience-specific navigation
• DAI Creator access
• DAI Settings access

The experience begins presenting itself as AutoCraft MineShaft before you ever enter the first combat room.

A World Built for the MineShaft

AutoCraft MineShaft campaigns are created inside a dedicated void environment.

The dungeon is not carved into an ordinary Minecraft seed.

The experience constructs its own:

• Home Room
• Farm
• Floor sectors
• Encounter rooms
• Hallways
• Route branches
• Boss chambers
• Environmental spaces

The MineShaft is not somewhere inside the world.

The MineShaft is the world.

The Official Ready-to-Play Package

This modpack exists for players who want the intended AutoCraft MineShaft setup without manually assembling its required components.

Install the pack, create your AutoCraft MineShaft experience, and descend.

Choose a route. Build the mine. Conquer ten floors. Reach the Heart.
