Better Desert Temples Mod makes desert temples way bigger and better. The ultimate upgrade to Minecraft’s desert temples. This mod redesigns vanilla desert temples to be way more exciting, adding a variety of new puzzles, traps, & parkour challenges. And of course, you’ll get much better loot than vanilla’s desert temples for your troubles.

By default, mining fatigue will be applied to all players in the Better Desert Temple. Once you clear the temple (i.e. kill the pharaoh at the end of the temple), the mining fatigue effect for that temple will be permanently lifted. You can disable this feature in the config. Additionally, you can re-enable vanilla desert temples to spawn alongside Better Desert Temples in the config.

Features:

Vanilla desert temples are redesigned with multiple layers, new rooms, and more intricate structures.
Adds various puzzles and traps, making exploration more challenging and fun.
Includes parkour challenges within the temples, adding a new dimension to gameplay.
Offers better loot compared to the vanilla desert temples, making the effort worthwhile.
