Can't wait to go in & claim it for mine. It's mostly under an ocean. Want to dig out an area on one end & wall it with glass to view the sea (from under water). Anything else other then books, spiderwebs, iron bars & a few chests in the dungeons? didn't look around much. It seems to be massive!!!
I think you found a stronghold, not a dungeon. With books, spiderwebs and iron bars it is no doubt a stronghold. But don't worry a lot of people get them mixed up. Anyway, it sounds awesome that it is underwater!
If you want to invest some time for an XP farm, i'd suggest building this:
It's actually very simple and requires only a few supplies[I suggest sticking to this video and not others]
I really think Hulyn is talking about a Stronghold. Not a dungeon with a mob spawner in it. Read his post.. not just the title.
And honestly...I really would recommend against using this video. The design really isn't good. It completely ignores some basic mechanics of mob spawners. Meaning, he recommends clearing out a room that's 5 blocks wide and 9 long... which is.. well.. kinda the wrong dimensions for max efficiency. I really think this video is sorta to showcase his mob softener design. A xp farm is a really basic build. There are tons of designs that, while different from each other, take advantage of spawner mechanics to get max results. Unfortunately this design neglects some basic concepts and isn't as good because of it.
Whew... with all of that said. Congrats on discovering your first Stronghold Hulyn. Those firsts are always kinda awesome.
A dungeon is a small room that contains a single spawner and sometimes a chest or two. They're scattered about the map usually deep underground. They'll have a flaming metal cage with a spinning monster inside, they can be three different types... Zombie, spider, and skeleton.
A stronghold is a sprawling underground maze-like structure that contains a number of different rooms and more importantly.. A room with the End Portal. In that room will be a single unique spawner, a silverfish spawner. Annoying little creatures..only really dangerous in large numbers, which can happen once in a while.
This is a stronghold then. Massive structure....lots of rooms, alot with iron doors & bars. Found 4 sets of stairs so far. Found two libraries in it also. Haven't found the spawner yet.....just taking it easy as there are alot of skeletons in it so far.....also found 4 small chests. Haven't found the silverfish spawner or the End room......too cool...Thanks!!!
There's also abandoned mine shafts... those too are sprawling maze like structures, but instead of a lot of stone brick work, you will see a lot of iron and wooden structures, such as fences, ladders, mine cart rails... and a lot of cobwebs.
I haven't yet come across a dungeon with a spider spawner, but have come across them in abandoned mine shafts...and the cave spiders that spawn here tend to be smaller and faster with a poisonous bite.
this was a regular spider spawner. Lit it up to stop for now till I figure out what to do with it. Haven't found a mineshaft yet. I looked at the mineshaft locator thing (http://chunkbase.com/apps/mineshaft-finder). My map has one & it appears to be a good way from the dungeon....
