Dungeon Crawl is a dungeon crawl mod for Minecraft Java that generates large underground roguelike dungeons in the overworld. It runs on NeoForge, with earlier Forge releases that have since stopped, and its files are tagged for both sides, so it loads in singleplayer and on multiplayer hosts. It is a spiritual successor to Roguelike Dungeons.
Loaders and versions
- NeoForge: Minecraft 1.20.4 to 26.2. The newest build needs no dependencies.
- Forge: Minecraft 1.14 to 1.20.1, builds stopped after January 2025. The newest build needs no dependencies.
What the dungeons look like
Layout, loot and size are random, so each dungeon you find is a different descent. The loot you carry out varies from one dungeon to the next.
The mod is in active development and the creator describes it as by no means complete. Updates with improvements, additions and bugfixes arrive regularly. Next on the list is a major rewrite of the dungeon generation, so expect the structures to keep evolving.
Installation
- 1.Install NeoForge for the Minecraft release you play, following how to install Forge and NeoForge.
- 2.Drop the Dungeon Crawl file into the mods folder inside your .minecraft directory. The general steps are in installing Java mods.
- 3.Launch with the NeoForge profile.
Trade-offs and known issues
A bug in Minecraft 1.16 can cause heavy FPS drops when spawners of certain mobs, endermen included, are rendered. That is a vanilla problem, and the Spawner Bug Fix mod resolves it.

Questions about Dungeon Crawl.
3 questions
Does Dungeon Crawl work on Fabric?
No. Dungeon Crawl supports Forge for older releases and NeoForge for newer ones, and no Fabric release exists. Fabric players are directed to the official continuation of Roguelike Dungeons on Modrinth, which is the mod Dungeon Crawl follows as a spiritual successor.
Does Dungeon Crawl work in multiplayer?
Its files are tagged for both sides, so it loads in singleplayer and on multiplayer hosts. Install it with NeoForge, or with Forge on the older releases that stopped, matching the Minecraft release your world uses.
Is there a fix for the Minecraft 1.16 spawner FPS drop?
A bug in Minecraft 1.16 can cause substantial FPS drops when spawners of certain mobs, including endermen, are rendered. The Spawner Bug Fix mod fixes that issue. The bug sits in Minecraft itself rather than in Dungeon Crawl.
