Not Enough Trials rebuilds trial chambers from the ground up. It runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and it also ships as a plain datapack for players who want the not enough trials datapack route. It must be installed on the server, and it is optional on the client.
Loaders and versions
- Fabric, Forge and NeoForge: Minecraft 1.21 to 26.2. The newest build needs no dependencies.
What changes in the chambers
Rooms are more open, which removes the maze-like traversal of the original. Chambers generate consistently instead of colliding and ending in dead-end hallways. Each chamber has exactly four spawners, so the number of keys per structure stays predictable. Chambers are also exposed in caves, so you can find them without a map.
- Five new original chambers, Ladder, Channel, Crash, Cargo and Streak, with Streak available on 1.21.4 and later.
- Boss chambers, secret chambers and a vertical chamber variant.
- Much wider mob variety, with each chamber tied to its own tough spawner.
- Vaults split into armor, valuables and weapons, so your keys choose the loot category.
- Luck potions earned in secret rooms, which give vault loot a 33% chance of a double drop.
- Four new rare enchantments.
Wind charges matter more, dispensers hit much harder, and every block of chiseled copper does something when scraped. Optional support for Enchantment Descriptions exists on some older releases.
