The ultimate upgrade to Minecraft's desert temples! YUNG's Better Desert Temples redesigns vanilla desert temples to be way more exciting, adding a variety of new puzzles, traps, & parkour challenges. And of course, you'll get much better loot than vanilla's desert temples for your troubles!
By default, mining fatigue will be applied to all players in the Better Desert Temple. Once you clear the temple (i.e. kill the pharaoh at the end of the temple), the mining fatigue effect for that temple will be permanently lifted! You can disable this feature in the config. Additionally, you can re-enable vanilla desert temples to spawn alongside Better Desert Temples in the config.
Closer look:
Animated trailer:
YUNG's Better Desert Temples is intended to be fully compatible with every worldgen mod, including:
- YUNG's Better Mineshafts
- YUNG's Better Strongholds
- YUNG's Better Dungeons
- YUNG's Extras
- YUNG's Bridges
- Repurposed Structures. RS also offers a custom data pack you can use in addition to the mod that adds repurposed versions of the deser temples! Check it out here.
