Dungeon Spirit
Welcome, welcome. Yuyutsu here, and allow me to tell you a tale about heroes of the old times. Welcome to another one of:
Yuyu's Minibiomes
I'm back with another Underground microstructure, guys! Now, if you've seen my other suggestions, you know that I like Underground minibiomes/microstructures. If you haven't seen my prior suggestions, though, here's a brief explanation as to why.
The Underground/Cavern layer are filled with more of the same: water, cabins, and stone. It gets monotnous and boring to make multiple trips. There's so much room for expansion! Furthermore, I feel that more graves and spirits are a fitting theme for the Underground, though I may be a little bit biased. Continuing on the theme of death and spirits from my last suggestion, I present to you:
The Hero's Crypt
Structure
The Hero's Crypt is a somewhat circular pit found in the Cavern layer of the world. The pit is ringed with Bone Block Walls, and platforms of Bone Blocks around the pit hold both regular Gravestones and Ethereal Graves (see below). Multiple Offering Pots are available to break.
Ethereal Graves cannot be broken, however, until Skeletron has been defeated and the undead are restless.
The Hero's Crypt is far rarer than an Underground Cabin, but multiple are scattered throughout the world. Also, big news! This microstructure is not based on a Starbound one in any way! Baby steps, guys. The Hero's Crypt is meant to be an aside to the player's journey to the underworld after defeating Skeletron. Let's check out what tiles can be found here at the Hero's Crypt.
Offering Pots
Similar to Vanilla Pots. Break when hit.
Loot:
Any Gem
Bone (Post Skeletron)
Ancient Gold/Iron Helmets (rare)
