Change the name back to "Dungeon"

I want to take a moment to express my thoughts on the recent renaming of "dungeon" to "monster room" in the game. It’s a change that I believe deeply misses the mark. The term "dungeon" has a rich history in gaming; it evokes a sense of adventure, mystery, and excitement that "monster room" simply cannot match. When players share their discoveries in the game, saying "I found a dungeon!" brings a certain thrill and nostalgia that resonates with many. On the other hand, "monster room" feels lackluster and uninviting—it lacks the allure that draws players into exploring the depths of their favorite fantasy world. Who wants to tell their friends about finding a "monster room"? It just doesn't have the same ring to it! I urge you, Mojang, to reconsider this change. Returning to the term "dungeon" would not only please the long-time fans but also enhance the overall experience of the game. Let’s bring back the excitement and magic of dungeons, where players can lose themselves in adventures filled with loot, danger, and discovery. Please listen to our voices and restore the name that we all cherish!

Maybe make them a bit bigger and having more varied challenges (i. e. something besides combat), so the name dungeon can feel more accurate, too.

Nah, they're just small features, so small that they don't even consider it a structure. It's a feature, like a tree.

I don't think it's necessary to add anything to them, just to change the name. It would ruin the nostalgia if they changed them. The only change I would support is to add more possible mobs that can spawn in them.

I also believe that it should spawn cave spiders instead of normal spiders because you often run into dungeons connected to caves.
