About this Mod
!
!
Castles And Keeps is the latest addition to my structure mod series, adding 5 new dungeons to the game (more coming soon!).
Dungeons:
- The Pillager Tower: A gigantic tower looming over the landscape. Powerful illager mages use it to prepare for their raids - so be careful.
- The Abandoned Tower: A small, abandoned tower. Beat a parkour challenge to get to the top and claim your prize!
- The Two Towers: Two huge towers inhabited by a small company of pillagers and vindicators. They even have cells for their prisoners!
- The Medium Tower: A tower in the middle of nowhere, infested by an undead horde.
- The Desert Tower: A rare structure of the desert. Beware, there are powerful undead monsters lurking inside.
- The Undead Castle: A huge castle infested by zombies!
- The Villager Keep: A giant fortress. Villagers live inside, go say hello!
More dungeons are still work in progress, this mod will be updated continuously.
Have fun! Questions can be asked in the comments, for frequent ones, we will add an FaQ.
