Dark Tower

The Dark Tower is an aggressive structure which spawns when the Dynamo module is installed.

## Features

### Layout

The Dark Tower features a single solitary tower made up of nether brick surrounded by stone brick supports. It has an exposed top and 4 storeys excluding the top layer.

The higher up the player goes, the more spawners there are. The top layer houses the boss.

### Mobs

4 types of mobs can spawn from the spawners in this dungeon.

#### Minotaurs

The Minotaurs are generally passive until one is attacked. They carry a golden axe and drop beef when killed. Generally, the Minotaurs are modeled to attack the player in a similar fashion to their counterparts, the zombie pigmen. They rush rapidly at the player and try to axe them down when hostile. Should the player decide not attack any Minotaurs in the Dark Tower, the Dark Tower should remain relatively safe even for players who are not properly equipped.

#### Dark Spider Jockeys

Dark Spider Jockeys are composed of 2 mobs - a cave spider riding a regular spider. Due to a feature in Minecraft, the movements of the mobs complement each other. Hence, the jockey moves a lot faster as compared to a normal spider of either kind. A player can also easily be poisoned by the cave spider when being attacked by a jockey.

#### Dark Arts Archers

These left-handed 're-textured' wither skeleton archers carry a bone in their right hand and an enchanted bow in their left hand. Their projectiles are always flaming and will cause much annoyance to the player. The Dark Arts Archers are also faster than regular skeletons and may be a pain to deal with initially. Killing the Dark Arts Archers do not yield wither skulls.

#### Dark Knights

The Dark Knights are slow moving, heavily armoured mobs which slowly advance towards the player. They also have an increased knockback resistance, which may pose a challenge for players to surmount should they be cornered by the Dark Knights. The Dark Knights deal a lot more damage per hit compared to the other mobs in the dungeon, and can easily rip through any kind of armour.

### Boss

The Supreme Darknight is the boss for this structure. It occupies the top floor of the Dark Tower and moves at an amazingly quick speed. Upon death, it will drop its head as a trophy and has a small chance of dropping its armour and sword. The sword is enchanted with both Sharpness, Smite and Bane of Arthropods, which is unobtainable in survival Minecraft by normal means. The Supreme Darknight will not drop a wither skull under any circumstances.

### Loot

This dungeon contains many chests scattered around the floors of the dungeon. The chests are populated with default Dynamo loot in addition to a loot table of Minecraft Stronghold corridors.

### Spawning

The Dark Tower spawns rather rarely in Roofed Forest biomes. Sometimes, albeit rarely, the Dark Towers can spawn in observable distance of each other.

## Trivia

The structure was first requested by ChocoParrot after being inspired by the TwilightForest mod.

The original structure was made up of wood instead of nether brick. This was eventually changed as it was found that the player could easily burn the structure down and create a mob farm without much effort.

## History

The structure was built by Plive. It was one of the first structures to be implemented into Dynamo.
