Villages, Taverns & the Wild

10 structures

The quieter half of the pack: places to rest, trade and poke around. These are the structures that make a world feel settled and lived in.

A cozy tavern building with a lit interior in Minecraft

Taverns

The pack's namesake. Taverns generate with beds for the night and a resident villager. Level that villager to Apprentice while they're inside and they become a Tavern Cartographer, selling treasure charts to DnT dungeons and ruins.

A village with wooden huts built over swamp water in Minecraft

Swamp Villages

Villages finally made it into the swamp, along with some locals you didn't invite. Witches wander these streets, so that Mending librarian won't come easy.

SwampVillage
A village built into dense jungle terrain in Minecraft

Jungle Villages

Proper villages for jungle biomes, so the jungle is no longer a place you only visit for a temple and leave.

A tall wooden firewatch tower overlooking a Minecraft forest

Firewatch Towers

Tall atmospheric towers with a view for days. No boss, no puzzle, just a place to sleep, scout your next destination, or move into as an early base.

ForestsEnvironmental

Wells

Why should deserts be the only biome with unnecessary wells? Now everyone gets one.

A cozy buried cabin for anyone who digs in the right place. In the maker's own words: “'tis but a Terraria reference.”

UndergroundEnvironmental
Small overgrown ruins scattered across a Minecraft landscape

Wild Ruins

Small camps, huts, dead redstone golems and other leftovers of adventurers who came before you. Pure set dressing, and the world is better for it.

OverworldEnvironmental
The crumbled remains of a ruined town in Minecraft

Ruined Towns

Whole settlements reduced to rubble. Brush the suspicious gravel for pottery sherds and the occasional treasure mixed in with the junk.

OverworldArchaeology
An abandoned, decaying village from the Remnants structure set

Remnants

Wild Ruins' much, much rarer cousins, and one of them is an entire abandoned classic village. If you find one, buy a lottery ticket.

Overworld Dungeons

13 structures

Where the fighting happens. Overworld dungeons range from quick creeper crypts to the Lone Citadel, a fortress lifted straight out of Minecraft Dungeons.

Overgrown swamp ruins hiding the Toxic Lair dungeon entrance

Toxic Lair

Harmless-looking swamp ruins with suspicious gravel on the surface, and a full dungeon underneath with a miniboss, trial spawners, vaults and ominous vaults.

SwampAntidoteBlowthroughTri-shot
A shrine structure with copper bulbs marking its arena count

Shrines

Each shrine descends into one to five themed combat arenas. The copper bulbs outside tell you how many. Shrine Keys and Ominous Shrine Keys open the good stuff; only level-5 shrines hide ominous vaults.

Bunkers

Surface-exposed stronghold lookalikes with a bigger room pool and no portal chamber. The stronghold experience without accidentally ending up in the End.

Beneath the Surface

4 structures

Structures woven into cave generation itself. Cave Chambers even generate their own cave systems around them so nothing ever looks pasted in.

A ruined chamber embedded in a natural Minecraft cave system

Cave Chambers

The wild ruins of the underground. Each chamber generates a working cave system around itself to sit naturally in the world. Some hold trial spawners or vaults locked with Cave Chamber Keys.

UndergroundCave Chamber Keys
A dungeon room lit by trial spawners deep underground

Trial Dungeons

One guaranteed classic spawner plus up to eight trial spawners, adapted to the caves around them. The spawners occasionally drop the very keys that open the vaults here.

A skeletal tower encampment in the Nether wastes

Skeleton and wither-skeleton encampments whose chests point to other tower variants, and to a Nether Port. Mobs don't respawn, so a cleared tower stays yours.

The End

3 structures

The End finally gets more than one landmark. Start at a lighthouse, end at a castle.

End Lighthouses

The End's version of a tavern. Pick up maps to End Castles here, along with keys to End Ship vaults.

Maps beat luck. Most of these structures sell their location at a tavern or hide a chart to the next one in the chain. See how the progression works, then check which enchantments each dungeon guards.
