Boss Rush
Boss Rush lets players fight a sequence of bosses in a battle arena, entered by using a challenge ticket, for single-player or up to four players on a server.
What it does
After a player uses a challenge ticket, they are taken into a battle arena. When the fight starts, monsters appear around a central block. Bosses can be defeated in order, and rewards are handed out according to how well the group performed. Each run is set by the configuration, so server owners can change the monsters, rewards and encounters to suit their world.
Each of the four difficulty stages introduces its own monster types, attack patterns and health totals. Challenges can be played alone or server-wide with up to four participants, which covers both solo progression and cooperative play. Bosses that were once one-time encounters can be revisited, so a world can keep a challenge available after the first defeat.
The mod is built to pair with combat-focused mods such as Epic Fight and Better Combat, which raise the demands of the arena fights. Boss Rush is published for Forge and NeoForge, on Minecraft 1.20.1, and is licensed under the BSD 3-Clause License. It is not open source. Installation needs to happen on the client and the server.
