Dark tower

Colossal towers only found within Dark Forests, Dark Towers' many branching wings are filled with obstacles, treasures, and monsters. Atop the Dark Tower resides the deadly Ur-Ghast. Though Dark Towers bear some resemblance to Lich towers, they are much larger and are made up of different forms of Towerwood, the tough wood supporting the Dark Forest's impenetrable canopy. Players may also find Netherrack, Soul Sand, Nether Wart, and other exotic materials. Some of the towers connected to the Dark Tower are additionally deformed by Netherbursts.

The many rooms of Dark Towers contain valuable plunder such as Enchanted Books, Steeleaf, Ironwood, Redstone, and Diamonds, but also distinct hazards introduced by extreme architecture and monster spawners. A critical component of accessing the entirety of each Tower are Tower Keys; in order to travel to the top of the Dark Tower, tower keys must be found and slotted into specific doorways which otherwise block further progress (though less scrupulous adventurers might opt to use a grappling hook to risk the extreme heights and scale up the side of a Tower instead). On the second-to-last floor before the roof is a Carminite Reactor, which can be activated by turning on all of the levers nearby - at the adventurer's own peril.

Dark Towers are crawling with the usual suspects from vanilla Minecraft and the Twilight Forest, but new threats present themselves as well: Towerwood Borers infest the Tower's wood, Carminite Broodlings swarm around corners, Carminite Ghastlings lurk watchfully in the darker passageways, Carminite Golems guard tight corridors, and Carminite Ghastguards hang ominously in the air around the higher platforms of the Tower. Each new threat exacerbates the difficulties posed by the Tower's architecture.

The peak of the Dark Tower is home to the massive, blood-stained Ur-Ghast. The Ur-Ghast threatens trespassers with fireballs and acidic tears, and powerful adventurers who defeat it will be rewarded with a treasure chest in the middle of the tower's peak containing valuable loot. On rare occasion, multiple may spawn.
