Jungle temples have been reworked to include have slightly better traps, loot, and puzzles. It rewards slightly more loot, along with emerald blocks sometimes hidden throughout. It also has an archaeology section now.

The archaeology section contains 3 sherds: “Angler”, “Shelter”, and “Snort”, all transferred from the warm ocean ruin. This section is also now the only place you can find the wild armor trim, rather than in the structure’s chests.

Jungle archaeologist villagers (those with a jungle outfit, found in sparse jungle villages) also trade a map to this structure if you can’t find one in the dense jungle.

History

1.4.0Release*

The previous “jungle temple rework” has been replaced with a new one

The previous iteration had several issues that led to its removal:

  • It wasn’t really a rework, it was a new structure that replaced existing jungle temples
  • The shape of the structure caused generation issues when combined with jungles’ hilly terrain
  • It used mining fatigue in an awkward way that was not obvious to players

The new rework is the same size and shape as the vanilla jungle temple

The new rework has an archaeology section, randomized traps, and a more intuitive, randomized lever puzzle

The archaeology contains:

  • The “Angler”, “Shelter”, and “Snort” pottery sherds, moved from ocean ruins
  • The “Wild” armor trim, which is no longer found in the chests of the structure
    • This makes this trim renewable via echoing hourglass

All the above changes make these structure more in line with the temple theme: Small, common structure with archaeology
