No, biome chests do not always spawn in the dungeon, as their generation is random and limited to a specific number per world, with only four Biome Chests (one of each type) guaranteed to spawn in a particular world. The presence of biome chests in the dungeon depends on the world’s generation, and players may need to explore extensively to find all the available biome chests.

Biome chests are locked chests found within the dungeon, which can only be opened with an appropriate Hardmode Biome Key. Dungeons, on the other hand, are small rooms made of cobblestone and mossy cobblestone that contain a hostile mob spawner and up to two chests.
