Dungeons: Jungle Awakens
Only you can fight back against the snarling overgrowth to free this distant jungle from a mysterious power. The path is perilous – new foes and dangerous puzzles wait in the shade. Find new armour, weapons, and artifacts as you seek to uproot the source of the wicked corruption: the Jungle Abomination.

Jungle Awakens is the first paid DLC for Minecraft Dungeons. It was released on July 1, 2020. It is the first DLC of the Hero Pass, the first DLC not set in the mainland, and the first DLC set in the island realms. It includes two missions, Dingy Jungle and Overgrown Temple, a secret mission, Panda Plateau, and a boss, the Jungle Abomination, found in Overgrown Temple.
Appearance

Jungle Awakens is set in an unnamed tropical island. The island contains jungle trees and vibrant flora in high abundance. On the west side of the island, there is the Dingy Jungle; a small lake, a cave entrance, and an offering platform. To the east is the Panda Plateau, a bamboo forest where a large panda head seems to be built into the terrain. It is likely that the cave entrance will exit out of the panda's head, as there is an opening in the mouth. At the top of the island is the Overgrown Temple, an ancient, run-down temple upon a hill with decorative waterfalls flowing out the sides. A small beach and several smaller islands appear on the island map, though most of the details listed do not appear in-game.

Trivia
- This DLC was accidentally released early on June 30 for players on Xbox One and Windows 10 through the Microsoft Store.
- This is the only DLC that doesn't have a Minecraft Dungeons episode on it.
- It was originally believed that the shard of the orb of dominance created the leapleaf and the whisperer. It was found out after rereading the original "Jungle DLC Out Today Page," that the shard corrupted the two inhabitants rather than creating them.[1]
