FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I was thinking why not make dungeons have loot in them so they can actually be considered "Dungeons" instead of a random structures.

Loot Idea:

-Mese Crystals / Blocks
-Diamonds
-More Mossycobble
-Gold

I do miss the old dungeons. I think you might want to talk to BlockMen about that in his mines mod. It generates long mineshafts. just a thought.

yeah, better dungeons would be great!! and makesthe survival mode more "frightning".
But there should be also Lava seas or items which can only found in these dungeons.
good idea!

I agree we need dungeons back. Only they should be designed a bit more differently I feel. The old dungeons looked more like crypts.

so... what's the difference between dungeons and crypts?

Dungewons are like where monsters are or dark danky places. Crypts are like an underground building where you bury your ancestor.
Dungeon
Crypt

I'm currently mapping out a dungeon right now. It'll have a crypt and some cells for prisoners. It's also design kinda like a labyrinth.

0.4.7 can generate dungeons in worlds if the dungeon flag is set to true.

These already built-in features really should be out in the open in the main menu, not hidden away only to be unlocked in the configs. Oh well... I still think they need a new design though, so it's not stopping me.

Adding Cryps would be awesome!
But will they look like jojoa1997's post?
What about skulls and others??

In the Minetest TODO list there is written "Add configuration for DungeonGen", so it looks like we will have some control over their structure and size.

[EDIT posted in wrong dungeon thread]
Using the 'indev' map generator in 0.4.7 stable.
Edit minetest.conf to "mg_name = indev".

AFAIK indev doesnt affect dungeons.

Hmmm i did wonder because i seem to see more exposed projecting dungeons in indev and MGV7 than in MGV6.

I just finished this dungeon plan. Granted, it's built above ground and over the water (hyuck) but I think it's all good. So check out the sample if you like. It's best to play this at night to get a good feel of underground and grab a few torches from /giveme or creative.

P.S: Don't mind the outside of the dungeon, it's suppose to be underground so this shouldn't matter.
