Most of the main dungeons will be littered with hidden rooms throughout the structure. They tend to always have a hidden lever somewhere marked with suspicious sand / gravel which opens a hidden entrance somewhere else in the area. Look for suspicious gravel to find where a hidden lever might be, then look for a light source to find the entrance that just opened up. Secret rooms often have higher quality loot, and safety from gimigoul chests, so you know if you found a hidden room full of treasure, you are not at risk of having a gimigoul ruin your shot at good gear.

Normal archeology in minecraft sucks. Nobody uses it, and many people don't even know how it works. This is why I tried to incorporate it in a more interesting manner to enhance the gameplay of your playthrough. Not only are suspicious blocks used to mark hidden areas in certain structures, but they also have useful loot tables that reward players that take the time to investigate certain features.

• Secret Marker: These pieces are used to mark where hidden levers are. They have an extremely large loot table filled with lots of junk, but with the potential to find ridiculously rare resources like rare candies or ancient debris. The idea being that you always have a tiny chance to find something good. (Note that the chances of getting debris are so low that it would be faster to just mine it normally. This is only to provide an intense dopamine rush for that one guy who is lucky enough to get it)

• All Type Gems: These suspicious blocks usually spawn in hidden treasure rooms in the form of suspicious sand. Once brushed, they have the the chance to provide any of the type gems available in the game, assisting players in whatever crafting recipes would need them.

• Agriculture: These suspicious blocks are often decorating the main rooms of large structures from the datapack. Once brushed, their loot tables mostly contain seeds and agriculture items useful for players to find any missing crops they might be looking for, or to provide a solid start to whatever farm they may intend to start.

• Structure specific maps: These blocks contain unique loot for whatever structure they are a part of, and often have the chance to provide an explorer map to one of the main dungeons. This is the main way for players to locate the large structures that make up the primary portion of this datapack. If you are excited to find something from this datapack, chances are, it can be located from one of the maps provided by these brushing sites.

To keep gameplay interesting and encourage secrets, most of the large dungeons containing legendary pokemon also contain several guardian rooms that contain an elder guarding which prevents the player from breaking any blocks through mining fatigue.

On top of that, they are protected by a function which prevents the player from using beds, healing machines, and pcs when within 150 blocks of the dungeon. This restricts the players ability to swap party members or heal pokemon. Forcing them to manage their team more wisely and utilize healing items / moves as the primary way to heal pokemon.

Considering this, there are usually hidden areas / minigames that require the player to move or break specific blocks. Usually by finding hidden buttons / levers, or by utilizing a trident to break walls of dripstone to progress to a secret area. I’m planning to add a variety of methods to bypass mining fatigue restrictions that fit the theme of every structure, so stay tuned for more info.

A key aspect of the main dungeons is fighting alongside your pokemon, in a very dungeoncrawler like playstyle. But an important thing to consider is managing the health in your party of pokemon. Do you think that bringing out your main pokemon to clear a floor is worthwhile, when it might be needed to fight a harder enemy later. Especially considering the boss legendary at the end of the dungeon, it is sure to keep you on your toes when utilizing your pokemon in battle.

Through various methods, the player can obtain maps to important structures within the game. This has cross compatability with modded structures, as well as the main ones from the datapack and vanilla Minecraft and Cobblemon. Maps to modded structures are still obtainable in survival, but will not point to anything if the player gets one, so don't waste resources trying to get one unless you know you have the proper mod installed.

All Obtainable Maps:

This massive structure has 8 floors and 4 levels of difficulty that are sure to give the player a fun challenge. It spawns in mountainy, high latitude areas like the Frozen Peaks, Jagged Peaks, and Stony Peaks, with a spooky / ghost themed stone interior.

Progressing from Iron, to enchanted Iron, to diamond, to enchanted diamond / netherite gear levels, each level brings increased difficulty and better loot. The player will be met with waves of trial spawners and juiced up enemy pokemon (made to deal extra damage to the player) until they eventually make it to the top. Once at the 2nd to last level, the player will be met with an armor stand holding a jade orb. If they pick up the orb from the armor stand’s hand, an event will trigger and rayquaza will spawn at the very top.

The secret for this structure can be found within the first elder guardian secret room. Once entered, the player will find a journal entry detailing how they can potentially get a shiny rayquaza. (Note, shiny and regular rayquaza spawns do not conflict with each other. You can do both in the same structure, but only 1 of each).

Through various methods, the player can obtain rare maps that lead to important structures in the datapack. These range from custom structures like the dungeons in this datapack, or existing modded structures like the Shipwreck Cove mini dungeons from base Cobblemon, or the Wishing Weald from Mega Showdown. Note: that the maps for modded structures won't work unless you have the mod installed. They are still obtainable in the datapack regardless, but don't waste your resources on getting a map to a structure from a mod you know you don't have. (so long as you installed all the dependencies, this shouldn't be an issue)

The maps are divided into 2 simple categories:

• Explorer Maps imply the structure is above ground and visible
• Locator Maps are for underground structures, so expect to go mining once you reach the x
