YUNG's Better Dungeons is a comprehensive mod that completely redesigns Minecraft's dungeons, offering a fresh take on exploration and adventure. It enhances your world generation by introducing more intricate, rewarding, and visually impressive dungeon structures.

Installing YUNG's Better Dungeons

On AwakeNode

  1. Navigate to your server in the AwakeNode panel and open the Mod Installer.
  2. Search for "YUNG's Better Dungeons" and select your preferred loader (Fabric, Forge, or NeoForge).
  3. Click Install. The panel will automatically download the mod and its dependencies to your server.

On other hosts / manually

  1. Ensure your server is running a compatible loader (Fabric, Forge, or NeoForge) for your chosen Minecraft version (1.19.2 through 1.21.4).
  2. Download the correct version of the mod from Modrinth.
  3. Use an SFTP client to upload the .jar file to your server's mods folder.
  4. Restart your server to apply the changes.

Common issues

  • Missing Dependencies: YUNG's mods often require "YUNG's API". Ensure this is installed in your mods folder alongside the main mod.
  • Version Mismatch: Ensure the mod version exactly matches your server's Minecraft version. Using a 1.20.1 mod on a 1.21.1 server will cause a crash.
  • World Generation Conflicts: If dungeons are not spawning, check your server logs for conflicts with other world-generation mods.

Performance

Because YUNG's Better Dungeons adds complex structures to your world, it may increase CPU usage during initial chunk generation. If you experience lag while exploring new areas, consider pre-generating your world using a tool like Chunky. If your server crashes due to memory exhaustion, you may need to upgrade your hosting plan; on AwakeNode, your RAM allocation will update automatically once the plan is upgraded.

Supported versions: 1.19.2, 1.19.3, 1.19.4, 1.20, 1.20.1, 1.20.4, 1.21, 1.21.1, 1.21.4
