Boss Hatred

Bosses that are set to hatred mode apply strong debuffs to the player when the encounter starts, and the effects last for a set number of game ticks. Some buffs also appear in the early stages of a fight and refresh while the player stays within range, so the penalty builds rather than fading after one hit. The mod is configurable, and the author text describes two versions of its height rule, an old one and a newer one that the author says works differently. The author text is machine translated in places, so the exact tuning values should be checked in the config file.

The height rule removes a player who rises too far above the ground or the boss. When the player passes a configured height limit, the mod can force a black screen for a few ticks, pull the player back to ground level, or kill the player outright after a set delay. Damage from boss attacks can be reduced by a configurable share, and a player who has taken a hit can recover a configurable proportion of maximum health within a set time. The effect does not work in water.
