Shifting Labyrinth

Quickstart

1. Craft a Labyrinth Key at a crafting table:
2. In the Overworld, find a portal ruin or place a lodestone. Hold the key and use it on the lodestone, then choose Enter the Labyrinth.
3. Explore the maze and watch for Labyrinth Sentinels. To leave, use the key while in the dungeon and choose Return Home.

Overview

The Labyrinth is reached from the Overworld using a key and a lodestone—not a built portal frame. Each entry creates a fresh maze run in one of three themed realms. The realm’s theme and the maze layout shift between runs.

What It Adds

The mod also adds the Labyrinth Key, portal ruins, and Labyrinth Sentinels. A Labyrinth Sentinel Spawn Egg is available in Creative mode.

How To Use

• Enter: Use the key on a lodestone in the Overworld. A menu lets you enter or stay where you are. The key works on any Overworld lodestone, so you can also place one yourself.
• Return: Use the key while in a Labyrinth realm to open the return menu. Choose Return Home or remain in the dungeon.
• Explore: Each run generates a new arrangement of connected rooms. Keep track of turns and watch for guards as you search through it.

Crafting And Obtaining

The Labyrinth Key is crafted at a crafting table:

Abilities And Mechanics

Labyrinth Sentinels are hostile, skeleton-like guards that use bows at range and can attack at close quarters. Each run in a non-Peaceful world places five guards. They drop a bow and may also drop leather armor.

Progression And Strategy

Bring armor, food, and a weapon before entering. Use walls and corners for cover from Sentinel arrows, and mark or remember your route through the maze. Keep the key with you: it opens the way in and provides the return option.
