Armageddon
by choupiclou2
With Armageddon, Minecraft's progression is gated by bosses: a player must defeat a boss before using certain ores, entering the Nether or equipping new gear.
What it does
Armageddon replaces the usual pace of Minecraft with a progression system inspired by Terraria. Ores are blocked until a matching boss is beaten, so a player who wants Iron has to defeat the Iron Colossus first. Breaking the ore with a tool or armor before that point is discouraged, which keeps the early game from being rushed.
The Nether is also gated. Before entering it, a player must defeat the boss Eldorath to open the gate, and an attempt to enter earlier sends the player back to the Overworld. A boss's health scales with the number of players nearby, checked by spawns in an area of up to 6 players. After a boss is defeated it drops a Lore Scroll with Minecraft lore, and a post-Ender Dragon mechanic continues the progression past the End.
Armageddon is a Client and server mod for Forge and NeoForge, released for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. It depends on Geckolib and Attribute Fix, plus an accessory library, and the author recommends JEI, which is directly compatible with Better Combat. The code is not open source; the mod is licensed as All rights reserved.
Key features
Blocked ore mechanic
Ores stay out of reach until the boss tied to them is defeated, so a player earns each material.
Blocked Nether gate
The Nether opens only after Eldorath is defeated, and early entry returns the player to the Overworld sky.
Curio accessory slots
Four new Accessory Bauble slots are added to the inventory, and two identical accessories cannot be equipped together.
Multiplayer boss scaling
Boss health rises with the number of nearby players, and eleven additional bosses follow the same rule.
