Boss Items
by A_Cat
Boss Items adds drops from boss mobs and tough vanilla mobs, and a Heroium armor set built from them.
What it does
Defeating the Ender Dragon, Elder Guardian, Wither or Warden, and some tough vanilla mobs, yields items that are otherwise absent from those fights. Players combine them with iron ingots into a Heroium ingot, which then upgrades netherite into the mod's armor. Only the client and server both need it, so it has to be installed on the server and on every player's game. The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.20.4, and is released under All rights reserved.
