The ultimate upgrade to Minecraft's desert temples! YUNG's Better Desert Temples redesigns vanilla desert temples to be way more exciting, adding a variety of new puzzles, traps, and parkour challenges. Additionally, 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.

YUNG's Better Desert Temples is intended to be fully compatible with every worldgen mod, including:
Repurposed Structures. RS also offers a custom data pack you can use in addition to the mod that adds repurposed versions of the desert temples! Check it out here.

1.20 and 1.20.1 release! Changelog:
- Chests with vanilla loot tables will contain the new armor trims.
- Clay pot rooms now use the new decorated pots. And can rarely have decorations already on them!
- Added sand and suspicious sand to now randomly spawn in the floors of rooms on the bottom floor of the temple.
- Buffed pharaoh HP from 20 to 60.
- Reworked the bottom floor's room distribution placement to greatly minimize the chance of weird generation such as completely empty rooms without floors and doorways with a wall behind it.
- Mining fatigue now applies every 5 seconds instead of every 1 second, making cheesing with milk buckets a bit more feasible.
