Open world collection dungeon crawler with progressive stakes. Roblox addiction loops meet Wynncraft depth meet extraction tension. For Minecraft All Platforms.
Grow a Garden, Steal a Brainrot. Millions of players chasing rare items. Super fun for a day. Then you forget it exists. Nothing matters.
Deep but slow
Wynncraft
The best RPG in Minecraft. Incredible world. But it takes hours before it gets good. Most new players leave before the hook lands.
The answer
dungeons.place
A shared open world with strongholds to raid and instanced dungeons where the stakes are real. Nobody's done this on Java yet. (Theme TBD — placeholder while chassis is locked.)
The world
The surface
A shared open world where every player roams together. Strongholds are scattered across the map at fixed locations, each with a difficulty level. They're guarded by mobs — you have to fight your way through to reach the dungeon portal inside. Not all strongholds are active at the same time. Which ones are open may rotate.
The underground
Beneath the surface is a massive cave system roughly the same size as the world above. Multiple entrances — you just walk down. Dungeon portals are hidden down here too. The underground is its own layer of exploration.
The open world is shared by everyone. You see other players, you run into people heading to the same stronghold, you watch someone come out of a portal carrying a Legendary. But the moment you step through a dungeon portal, you're in your own private instance. The world is social. The dungeon run is personal.
How you play
1
Explore the world
Roam the surface. Find strongholds. Discover cave entrances to the underground. See other players doing the same thing.
2
Fight into a stronghold
Strongholds are guarded by mobs. Clear them out to reach the dungeon portal inside. Harder strongholds, better dungeons.
3
Enter the dungeon
Step through the portal. Now you're in your own private instance. Custom mobs. Shuffled rooms. Every run feels different.
4
Grab everything you can
Rare items. Set pieces. Lore fragments. Fill your collection.
5
Get out alive
Die and you lose what you found. Your permanent collection is safe forever. Extract and you're back in the shared world with your loot.
6
Show off and go again
Build your museum. Salvage duplicates into Dust. Find the next stronghold. You know you want to.
Your items live in three places
What you're carrying
The items in your hands right now, inside the dungeon. These are at risk. If you die on medium or hard, they're gone.
Your collection book
Every item you've ever successfully extracted is recorded here. This never goes away. Even if you lose the item later, your book still shows you found it.
Your museum
Your personal room where you display trophies and rare items on stands and frames. This is your flex. Other players can visit and see what you've collected.
Difficulty — the ski slope
Bunny slope
Easy
No risk at all. If you die, you respawn in the room and keep everything. Just have fun.
Common + Uncommon drops
Great for learning. Great for TikTok clips. Zero stress.
Intermediate
Medium
Now it gets real. Die and you lose what you picked up during that run. Items you walked in with are safe. You can buy lost items back.
All rarities. Better rates.
This is where most players live. Stakes feel real but fair.
Expert
Hard
Die and you lose everything — even the gear you brought with you. Disconnect? Same thing. No mercy.
Best drop rates. Exclusive Legendaries.
For players who want to feel their heartbeat. Post-launch.
How you unlock harder dungeons
You level up by playing — killing mobs, opening chests, and extracting. You also build your collection by extracting items. Both matter. You need a certain level AND a certain number of items to unlock the next difficulty. Once unlocked, it stays unlocked forever.

What makes this game work
The world
Shared open map
A surface with strongholds and a massive underground cave system. Everyone roams together. You see other players, you watch them head into dungeons, you bump into people at stronghold gates. The world is alive.
The product
Collecting
Items come in themed sets of 5 pieces. Complete a set and you get a special perk and a title. No stats on individual items — the reward is finishing the set. This is why you keep playing.
The flex
Your museum
Every player gets a personal room to display their best items. Trophies on stands. Rare items on frames. Other players visit with /visit. Your museum IS your reputation.
The content
Custom mobs
Not regular Minecraft zombies. Totally custom creatures with their own models, voices, and silhouettes. (Specific mob designs TBD.) These are the clips people share.
Item sets
Four item sets — three main themes plus a rare clue layer. All set names, theme names, boss names, item names, and lore are placeholder right now while the chassis is being locked. Mechanics are real.
Set 1
5 pieces. The starter set. Easiest to complete. Drops from theme 1 rooms.
Set perk [TBD]
One passive bonus. Items glow [TBD].
Set 2
5 pieces. Drops from theme 2 rooms.
Set perk [TBD]
One passive bonus. Items glow [TBD].
Set 3
5 pieces. Drops from theme 3 rooms.
Set perk [TBD]
One passive bonus. Items glow [TBD].
+ Rare clue layer: Set 4
5 pieces that don't belong to any of the three main themes. Not a fourth full biome — these surface as rare drops scattered through the dungeon and concentrate in Room 25.
Set perk [TBD]
One passive bonus. Items glow [TBD].
Each set has 5 items — one for each armor slot plus a weapon. You need all 5 equipped to activate the perk. Lose one and the perk turns off until you get it back. But the title stays forever once earned. No half-set bonuses — it's all or nothing, which makes that last piece feel incredible to find.
Your collection
/collection
Shows every set as a grid. Items you've found glow. Missing items show as dark silhouettes. See your completion percentage. Tap an item to read its lore. Anyone can check anyone else's collection too.
World displays
Trophy wall at the spawn area shows the top 10 collectors. A live "last secured" sign shows who just extracted a Legendary. Everyone in the world can see the drops are real.
When you find something rare
Find a Rare or Legendary and your screen lights up — gold or purple title text, a burst of particles, and a sound effect that gets louder with rarity. But nobody else knows yet. The server-wide announcement only goes out after you successfully extract. You pop back into the shared world, the whole server sees the announcement, and everyone near you knows what you just pulled out of that dungeon. If you die with it, that pain is private.
Duplicate items aren't useless
Already found a duplicate item? The next one you find can be salvaged into Dust. Dust is a free currency that buys museum upgrades, buyback tokens, and insurance. Every single drop has a purpose — nothing feels wasted, even after you've filled your collection.
Stuck on the last piece? Craft it.
If RNG won't give you that one missing item, sacrifice 3 duplicates of the same rarity plus some Gems and pick exactly which item you want. No more grinding 40 runs hoping for one specific drop.

No trading at launch
Trading sounds fun but it creates problems fast — real-money scammers, price manipulation, kids getting ripped off. The flex isn't selling your rare item. The flex is having it when other people don't. We'll consider trading later if players really want it.

Mar 28 - Apr 25
Week 5-6
Integrate
Apr 26 - May 9
Week 7-10
Test + ship
May 10 - Jun 2
Build — everyone works at the same time
Jorge's team: Open world map (surface + underground cave system), stronghold builds with mob placements, 25 modular dungeon rooms (3 themes + 1 rare clue layer over one stone shell), 3 boss arenas, extraction area, custom mob models, furniture
rb2750 + Potters: Collection system, stash, XP leveling, set perk detection, the rare drop moment (screen effects + sounds + announcements on extraction), MythicMobs scripts for the 3 bosses (2 verbs each)
Robbie: Lore + naming for all 20 items across 4 sets, set names, theme names, boss names, room names. (Currently placeholder.)
Truman: Economy balance, drop rate tuning, mob behavior configs, player interviews for validation
Integrate — the trickiest part
Dungeon builder: Stronghold portals on the shared world map connected to the instancing system that builds a new dungeon each run
Custom mobs: Mob behavior configs matched to Jorge's models, placed in each room
Network: Velocity proxy connecting mc.games.place hub to the dungeons.place shared world. Stronghold portal system triggering dungeon instances. Disconnect and extraction handling.
Death + buyback: Everything that happens when you die — losing items, showing the buyback offer, handling disconnects
Test + ship
Week 7-8: Real players test the game. Watching for: do they requeue after dying? Do they open /collection? Do they come back the next day?
Week 8-9: Adjust everything — drop rates, mob difficulty, buyback pricing, how long runs take (targeting 8-12 minutes)
Week 9: Submit to server lists, launch Discord, record TikTok content (rare extractions, mob fights, museum tours)
Week 10: Final fixes. Launch June 2.
How it makes money
The rule: We never sell an advantage over other players — there's nobody to fight. Everything you can buy is about saving time, looking cool, or getting more storage. Gems already exist on the games.place network. We launch with only what new players need and add more as the community grows.
Launch — June 2
Buyback tokens. Spend Gems to recover items you lost when you died. The Dust system gives free players a way to earn these too.
Cosmetics. Starter pack with an armor skin, a title, and your first furniture set. Premium museum pieces.
More storage. Free players get 54 slots. Paid players can expand to 5 pages.
Goal: get a player to spend their first dollar.
July
Daily run limits + keys. Free runs every day. Want more? Buy keys.
Dungeon pass. A new dungeon with exclusive items and furniture. Free and paid tracks.
Goal: turn one-time buyers into repeat spenders.
August and beyond
Seasonal pass. New dungeon each season with exclusive sets. Miss it and there's a gap in your collection forever.
Player trading. Buy and sell items with a small Gems fee on each trade.
Targeted offers. 90% done with a set? Here's a pack to finish it. Cosmetic glow variants of items you already own.
Goal: keep invested players spending as the game deepens.
Long-term: Full 9-tier monetization as the game grows into a multi-dungeon network product. Built on existing infrastructure — Gems, MythicMobs, SlimeWorldManager, Tebex.
One dungeon works. Extraction works. Collection works. Nothing is broken.
Week 1
50+ people have played and extracted at least once
Week 2
20+ players came back for a second session
Month 1
100+ Discord members. Players are buying back items after dying. /collection is opened multiple times per session.
Month 2
Second dungeon ships. 200+ unique players. Over 30% of players who complete a set used crafting.

If we run out of time, cut in this order
1
Fewer dungeon rooms — 25 down to 12. Fewer active strongholds at launch.
2
Easy + Medium only — add Hard after launch
3
Skip the furniture store — keep the trophy display
4
Skip crafting — add it when players have enough duplicates to need it
✓
Never cut: the collection system, custom mobs, and the museum. That's the game.

Schematic key
Every room belongs to one of three themes (theme 1 / theme 2 / theme 3) plus a rare clue layer (theme 4). Theme names, set names, boss names, and lore are placeholder right now while the chassis is being locked. Mechanics are real.

Every schematic is 1 unit = 1 Minecraft block, top-down, north at top. Gridlines show the underlying block grid. Walls are drawn half a block thick. Dotted sage arrows indicate wave spawn order. Geometry, doorway positions, and spawn markers match the build contract — only props, mob skins, particles, and display names change between themes.
Run Structure
Entry→6-10 middle rooms→Boss (1 of 3)→Extraction
Pacing rule: Never 3 combat rooms in a row. After every 2 combat rooms, insert a corridor, trap, or loot room. Difficulty scaling: Room builds stay the same. Difficulty is controlled by mob configs and trap damage values. Later rooms escalate mob count and aggression. Helldivers-style density.

Room 23 · 35×35 × 16h Boss Arena · boss / theme 3 / 6 platforms around a center platform, Boss 3 teleports + clones / Set 3 (Legendary +2%)
Boss: Boss 3 — verbs: teleport + clone
[Boss visual TBD] — humanoid form, the most human-shaped of the three bosses.
Phase 1 (100-50% HP) — teleport
Teleports between the 6 surrounding platforms in puffs of smoke. Only vulnerable for 5 sec after each teleport (visual cue: glow). Throws projectiles between teleports (3♥). Platforms stay static — particle effects fake them "going dark" one by one.
Phase 2 (50-0% HP) — clone
Stops teleporting. Spawns 1-3 decoy clones of himself that all attack on the same rhythm. Real Boss 3 has a faint visual tell. Clones die in one hit; the real one still dodges. Identify, commit, swing.
Loot
Guaranteed 2 items from the chest that drops on the center platform. Highest Legendary chance: 4% Easy, 6% Medium, 10% Hard (+2% bonus over the other bosses). Set 4 clue chance: ~15% (this is where he's most likely to leave one).
Hardest boss. The arena itself kills you. Space management = survival.

gimmick
A perfectly symmetrical room with a central black-glass anchor on a pedestal. When you step inside, a Shadow mob spawns on the opposite side. 1v1 duel. Shadow is a fast mob with a delayed dash and sidestep — not a true mirror. Guaranteed Uncommon+ drop on win.

Set 3 (Uncommon+ guaranteed)
Room 24 · 23×23 · special / theme 3 / 1v1 duel against Shadow mob (delayed dash + sidestep) / Set 3 (Uncommon+)
Nothing else in the dungeon feels like this. A skill check that rewards actual combat over gear. Shadow mob mirrors the player silhouette. Players will talk about this room.

gimmick
An office that doesn't belong in a dungeon. A desk piled with notes about the other rooms. A folding chair. A photo frame face-down. A working fireplace with embers. A glass display case with one item inside, glowing. This is the only room where Set 4 clues drop reliably. No enemies.

Set 4 (1 guaranteed) + smart-targeted weakest set
Room 25 · 23×23 · special / theme 4 / desk + display case with one targeted item + 1 guaranteed Set 4 clue / Set 4 + smart drop
The chest room. The targeted item always lands where you needed it. The notes on the desk are in the same handwriting as the menu screen.
Future room archetypes
1Puzzle room — non-combat logic puzzle. Skipped at launch because it slows runs and is polarizing.
2Ambush corridor — locks both ends, fills with mobs. Could replace Room 12 for variety.
3Minecart room — rail-based traversal with track switching. High build complexity.
4Flooding room — water rises on a timer, fight while climbing. Boss 2 boss partially covers this.
5Treasure goblin room — single fast mob that runs away with a chest. Chase it through obstacles. Great for content clips.
6Rest room / campfire — safe room with healing + crafting station. May reduce tension too much at launch.
Build notes for Jorge
Every room needs a flat 5-wide, 4-tall opening centered on each connection wall. The dungeon builder handles the hallways.
Use structure void blocks to mark mob spawn zones. The mob spawner system reads these.
Mark chest locations with a specific block underneath: gold block = normal chest, diamond block = rare chest, emerald block = boss chest.
Boss arenas need 3-5 blocks of empty space around the exterior for transition hallways. Don't build decorations flush to outer walls.
All rooms saved as .nbt structure files. Origin point at center of entry doorway floor block.
