Bosses recrafted
by Mosy
Bosses recrafted changes the fights with three vanilla bosses, the Elder Guardian, the Wither and the Ender Dragon, by altering their stats and abilities.
What it does
The mod buffs the Elder Guardian, the Wither and the Ender Dragon, changing some of their stats and abilities. Each boss keeps its vanilla role in the world, but its fight plays differently. The Elder Guardian has 100 HP and shares one boss bar among everyone inside its monument, and it summons Guardians for defense as its health falls to 75%, 50% and 25%. The Wither summons four Wither Skeletons around a target it has missed three times, and its dash digs deeper and launches the target high into the air. The Ender Dragon performs a dig attack, rushing at high speed toward the closest player, burrowing underground and launching the target far away once it reaches the void.
The mod is a Forge build for Minecraft 1.20.1 only, with one release, 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, published on 2026-06-29. Client and server both need it, so the server and every player must install it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
