Subtly Dungeons

What is Subtly Dungeons?

Subtly Dungeons is a passion project designed to feel like a natural continuation of Minecraft. We take abandoned, classic vanilla concepts and "canon" features from spin-offs like Minecraft Dungeons and Minecraft Legends and add them directly into the game. The goal isn't to drastically overhaul how Minecraft plays, but rather to add some of the pieces of the wider "universe" that feel like they've been missing, to expand your adventure, combat, and building potential!

We do this through a design philosophy we call Vanilla Parity. This means every new block, mob, biome, and mechanic is designed to feel as if Mojang had added it themselves. We want these features to blend right into your regular survival world. Instead of feeling like you're playing a heavily modded game, it should just feel like you've just jumped ahead a few updates.

Whether you're a veteran player looking for new challenges, a fan of the classic survival experience, or a builder looking for new blocks, there's something here for you. Some features may not be your cup of tea, and many can be disabled via gamerules or through the native game options.

We also try to be receptive to feedback we get via YouTube, Discord, and GitHub, so please feel free to send us your criticisms or praises! It always helps!

Highlighted Features

Read the full release changelogs for the full list of features!

Slow Down & Explore!

The Tent: Sleep through the night to skip darkness or rain without resetting your spawn point! It's perfect for long expeditions where you don't want to lose your home bed spawn.

Hunt and Gather: Take time to hunt herds of animals, chasing them down as they run away from you! Or frolic through a forest foraging for mushrooms... just be sure they're not poisonous!

Campfire Changes: Campfires are now crafted unlit. You can light them with a flint and steel, or simply by rubbing sticks together!

Atmosphere: Experience the world with the sounds of soft breezes, howling winds, and reactive screen shake for loud events like lightning or roars

Soundtrack: Explore to the tune of new tracks by Peter Hont, Crispin Hands, and other Minecraft music composers

Strategic Fishing: Fishing is no longer random. Different fish now inhabit specific biomes (Salmon in rivers, Cod in cold oceans, Tropical Fish in warm waters, etc.), which reward you for traveling!

Lively Animals: Watch as your farm animals search for cover from the rain, desert cats laze around during the day and come out at night, and spiders crawl realistically up walls

New UI

Last Played: See where you left off in your world with new thumbnails!

New World Creation: Check out the Bedrock Edition inspired World Creation Screen!

Combat & Dining

Deadlier Foes: Encounter Zombie Hoard Leaders and face Raids that scale in difficulty, with arsonistic Pillagers and their ferocious captain!

New Weapons: Pick up the new Dagger weapon, and use stealth to your advantage or organize and cycle your arrows with the Quiver!

New Cuisine: Channel your inner chef and cook up a bowl of Pottage, munch on Calamari, or enjoy some Apple Pie. Or if you're on the run, forage for mushrooms for a quick snack!

Better Building

New Materials: Build with Polished Dripstone, Snow Bricks, Stone Pillars, Iron Grates, Wood Variants, and more!

Flora: Dense Reeds now generate in swamps to add a bit of atmosphere to the wetlands
