| Desert dungeons are similar to cobblestone dungeons, but they have larger rooms and longer stairways. They are either made out of [[Desert Stone|desert stone]] or [[Sandstone Brick|sandstone brick]]. Desert dungeons made out of desert stone appear inside desert stone and dungeons made out of sandstone bricks appear inside [[sandstone]]. In [[Subgames/Minetest Game|Minetest Game]], desert dungeons can thus be found in deserts and sandstone deserts.

Desert dungeon Desert Stone, Sandstone Brick v5, v7, valleys, flat, fractal mg_flags=dungeons Desert dungeons are similar to cobblestone dungeons, but they have larger rooms and longer stairways. They are either made out of desert stone or sandstone brick. Desert dungeons made out of desert stone appear inside desert stone and dungeons made out of sandstone bricks appear inside sandstone. In Minetest Game, desert dungeons can thus be found in deserts and sandstone deserts.
