Spoiler



With this new Ancient Makeover the dungeon is randomly generated and much larger.
making it a sight just to explore,
but also to battle since now you can find ancient spawners throughout the entire structure. that on right click summons a lot of undead.
that after killing the spawner will drop a ancient key that can be used by right clicking the ancient vault that took its place. that once used spews out a random assortment of items.

- ANCIENT ALLOY :
Spoiler


A new material that is droped in its ingot and raw forms by the vaults. with the alloy tools, armor, and weapons being on tier with netherite, it is quite useful to seek these out.
- QOL Tools :
Giant Blazing Ancient Key - a giant version of the key you used to open the vaults it is able to launch you into the air or stright into the ground depending if you are crouching or not.
Soul Light - A soul flame light that when used gives you night vision and haste for ten minutes, but it only has 6 durability so be careful!
Tunnel Borer - A Buffed up ancient shovel that with right click can break ANYTHING (excluding unbreakable blocks) INSTANTLY but it uses 5 durability instead of one.
