Clown Boss Dungeon

  • Adds a Blood Compass
  • Blood Compass loot can be found in desert pyramid chests
  • The Blood Compass points toward the dungeon's single entrance; right-click it to prepare a new or outdated dungeon over successive server ticks, and while holding it within 10 blocks horizontally, an action-bar message reveals the entrance's Y level (regardless of your height)
  • A large dungeon generates deep underground in the Overworld, within 6,000 blocks of world spawn in any direction, with five themed sections arranged in a horizontal route around Y -8 and a final boss arena below the last section. The location is saved per world
  • The floors have distinct themes: entrance and storage, prison cells, laboratories and ritual rooms, catacombs and monster rooms, and a temple with a final approach
  • Each floor has a connected 3 ร— 3 room layout, corridors, treasure rooms, traps, and secret rooms
  • Hidden secret-room passages are sealed by a breakable 3 ร— 3 barrier of Cracked Cobblestone and contain one-time loot-table treasure
  • Sea lanterns light the dungeon rooms to keep unrelated hostile spawns from interfering with wave encounters
  • Trap rooms feature magma blocks and cobwebs; treasure chest loot improves on deeper floors
  • Explore each floor's rooms, then enter its challenge room to start the encounter
  • Each floor has four waves of dungeon mobs. Enemies spawn in safe open spaces across the floor's rooms, and waves build toward a named champion in the final wave
  • Floor encounters include a defensive barracks champion, the Jailor and prison ambush, a mutated raider and laboratory hazards, the Gravekeeper and catacomb encounters, and the Iron Warden with temple hazards
  • Dungeon raiders gain stronger effects and armor as the floors progress: Strength I; Strength I/Speed I with leather; Strength II/Speed I with iron; Strength II/Speed II with diamond; and Strength II, Speed II, Regeneration II, Absorption II, Resistance I with enchanted netherite on Floor 5. Raider armor never drops.
  • Defeat all four waves to clear the floor and open the reinforced gate to the next section; skipping ahead returns players to the entrance
  • A wave advances when no tagged enemies remain and is forcibly cleared after five minutes if enemies become stuck
  • The fifth floor's final wave is led by the Iron Warden
  • Pass through the final gate and descend to the arena to face the persistent Clown boss, the Scythe Guardian
  • Dungeon layout, current floor, wave progress, and boss state are saved between world loads
  • Multiplayer uses a shared dungeon run; if its owner disconnects while another player is still in the dungeon, ownership transfers to that player and the run continues. If no other player is there, the run resets.
  • After a boss defeat, the next server startup scans saved region chunks and player data; the dungeon resets only when no Scythe is found anywhere in that saved data

Dungeon Layout

The five floors sit in a row at the same depth, each joined to the next by a 31-block corridor with a reinforced deepslate gate. After floor 5, a sloping corridor descends 49 blocks into the circular boss arena. The whole complex is roughly 418 blocks long.
