Overhauling the dungeons

The official Minecraft twitter account asked long ago what people think would push Minecraft to a 2.0 update. I’ve been thinking about that ever since. This is a start of a series of posts explaining what I think should be overhauled in order to put Minecraft into a 2.0 update. Dungeons should be overhauled in their generation, themes and difficulties. Dungeons should be generated in different sections I call chambers. Chambers are the rooms the player walks through and battles mobs in. Although every dungeon is randomly generated, each one will have one of the following:
- mini boss room (most often just an armored zombie or skeleton
- item room (apart from loot chests, item rooms can contain items used in crafting new blocks, gear and more. This will be discussed in future posts)
- boss room (will contain tiered biases based on dungeon difficulty and biome
-entrance (a nice looking entrance that leads to the dungeon)
- special item room
I feel having this new dungeon generation would help Minecraft in the sense of keeping the player exploring, as most people just pass dungeons entirely. I think that the dungeons should be encased in dungeon blocks (change texture based on biome/dimension) which cannot be broken in survival, which makes them more challenging and a bit more fun to explore. As for new mobs and bosses, I’ll leave that to the devs who have much better creativity than I.

    There are some elements that had to be cut due to character restraints, but I feel this is better because it is simpler which is more minecraft’s Style.

    If they make dungeon block unbreakable then, most farms will not be able to be created in survival. I rather suggest, whenever a player goes to the nearest dungeon,he /she gets mining fatigue 3 that will last untill the boss is defeated similarly to ocean monuments which are currently the most challanging structures in game.

    This would be cool but I don’t like the idea of Minecraft 2.0.

    Maybe the boss could be skeleton vanguard from Minecraft Dungeons.

    Maybe the blocks could be broken only once the skeleton vanguard is defeated.

    Grian (Minecraft building tutorials) once made a video involving updateing dungeons, there could be a gravel encased entrance. Also there could be husk and stray spawners too  which the cave entrance could be covered in sand or ice.There should be exclusive loot like music discs and banner patterns.

    good idea!!
