How I Created a Completely Customizable Dungeon in Minecraft
Introduction
In this article, I will be sharing how I created a randomly generated dungeon in Minecraft that is 100% customizable. This means that you can add as many rooms as you want and change the spawning percentage of each room. I will explain the process of generating the dungeon and how you can customize it to suit your own preferences. Let's dive in!
How the Dungeon is Generated
To start, a shulker box is placed down and named "Four-Way". Shulker boxes are used because they are entities that can be located by command blocks. Once the Four-Way box is placed, four directions (north, south, east, and west) are generated. Each direction is then assigned a random room from a selection of five rooms. Currently, there are only five rooms available, but this can be expanded based on feedback.
Let's take a closer look at the process using the example of the north direction. When the north shulker box is placed, it is randomly assigned a room. The available rooms include a hallway, a turn right, a turn left, a T-section, and an end. If the assigned room is an end, the pathway will not continue further.
For all other rooms, new shulker boxes can be added to continue the pathway. For instance, if the north shulker box is a hallway, it will delete the north tag and add a new tag called "hallway". This will allow the generation of a new shulker box five blocks away in the north direction. The cycle then repeats, with each newly generated box receiving a randomly assigned room until an end is reached. This process happens simultaneously for all directions.
Customization Options
One of the great features of this dungeon generation is its customizability. You can easily modify the dungeon to fit different themes or structures. Instead of a dungeon, you can turn it into a mansion by replacing the tiles with mansion tiles. This flexibility allows you to create a unique and personalized experience in your Minecraft world.
Bugs and Limitations
Although the dungeon generation system is innovative, there are a few bugs and limitations to be aware of. One bug occurs when two shulker boxes of the same direction are placed simultaneously. The command blocks cannot differentiate between them, leading to a duplication of the pathway. Another limitation is the occurrence of intersections, where the pathways intersect and cut off certain sections. While this can be reduced by implementing a proximity check between shulker boxes, it remains a challenge to entirely eliminate.
Creating Different Types of Structures
Apart from dungeons and mansions, you can apply the same principles to create a variety of structures. By using a tile-based approach, you can customize and build different textures and architectural elements. This opens up possibilities for creating unique structures such as castles, underground lairs, or even futuristic cities.
Part 2: Adding More Rooms and Features
If there is enough interest, I will create a follow-up video where I add more rooms and features to the dungeon. This includes adding an upstairs section and incorporating additional room options. If you'd like to see this, make sure to show your support by liking the video.
