This article documents a feature that has been officially scrapped.

Minecraft Dungeons has been discontinued, and as such will not be added to the game in the foreseeable future.

This topic is named from the game code.

While a name exists in the game code, it has not been otherwise used officially by Mojang.

This page describes content that is a part of the Hidden Depths DLC.

Sandstone Ruins is an unused optional sub dungeon that would have been within the mission Coral Rise.

Appearance and description

Sandstone Ruins does not have an entrance door that leads to it from Coral Rise. Sandstone Ruins itself is a small underwater area with broken structures and coral, resembling the appearance of a warm ocean ruin in Minecraft. Scattered around the area, various small piles of sand can be found that, if interacted with, can spawn a common chest. The chance of a chest spawning when interacting with one is random. These interactable piles of sand resemble buried treasure chests from Minecraft.

Objectives location

While Sandstone Ruins cannot be found during any Coral Rise objectives, as it is unused, its files suggest that it would have been found during the following Coral Rise objective: "RUINED: EXPLORE THE RUIN".

Trivia

Despite not having an entrance door that leads to it from Coral Rise, Sandstone Ruins does have the cr_sandstone_entrance objectgroup ID in the code. However, despite its name, this piece of generation is merely a dead end and does not actually have a door.
Sandstone Ruins has an entire unused music track composed for it that can be found in the files. This music track was not included in the Hidden Depths OST.
Some of the ruins resemble desert village houses in Minecraft.
