About this project
What does Ancient Dungeons (Th3Dungeon) add?
Th3Dungeons
Th3Dungeon adds new procedurally generated dungeon types to Vintage Story’s vanilla worldgen.
As of version 1.0.0, the mod uses the new vanilla dungeon system introduced with Vintage Story 1.22, allowing for more integrated and future-proof dungeon generation.
The mod currently adds 3 new dungeon types, each with a good selection of tilesets and a more challenging approach to enemies and combat.
All dungeons include surface entrances, giving players visible points of discovery scattered throughout the world.
Dungeons only generate in parts of the world created after the mod was added. Updating from an older version is safe: existing chunks are not touched, and the new dungeons will only appear in newly generated chunks.
3 New Procedual Generated Dungeon Types
Adds three new dungeon types, each with its own design, atmosphere, and difficulty level.
Vanilla Dungeon System
Since version 1.0.0, the mod uses Vintage Story’s vanilla dungeon system, making dungeon generation more integrated, stable, and future-proof.
Higher Enemy Difficulty
Most dungeons include increased enemy spawns, with loot placed behind combat encounters to reward players who take the risk.
Community Built Dungeon Tilesets
The dungeon tilesets were created by builders from the community and integrated into the mod, giving each dungeon a handcrafted feel.
Th3Dungeon includes a range of configurable settings so you can adjust dungeon frequency, balancing, and other parts of the experience to better fit your world or server setup.
To generate and edit the config through the in-game interface, you need both ConfigLib and ImGui. Without these two mods, the config file will not be generated and you will not have access to the configuration UI.
Both mods have to be installed for the config to apply.
A common setup is to install the required config mods in singleplayer first, generate and adjust the Th3Dungeon config there, and then copy the created .yaml file into your server config folder.
Example of the Th3Dungeon config file:

This mod was originally created by Th3Dilli using a custom procedural dungeon framework, which has recently been replaced by Vintage Story’s vanilla dungeon generator.
The dungeon tilesets were built by community builders and integrated into the mod, making Ancient Dungeons a collaborative project shaped by the creativity of the Vintage Story community most which come from this builders community featuring other mods like BetterRuins, BetterTraders and VSVillage.
If you are interested in making dungeons feel free to join and we will find a way to get your creativity into the game (be it joining the team or helping you make your own mod similar to this).
