Cube' Em
by Aberplex
Cube' Em adds a cube-themed progression to Minecraft: a detector, a boss called the Rubik's Cube Golem and an endgame sword that only comes from its drops.
What it does
A cube detector locates a cube artifact buried underground, and the artifact is needed to craft the strongest sword the mod adds. The sword deals 12 damage with a normal hit and destroys regular mobs with an explosion attack, which makes it far easier to kill bosses such as the Wither, the Ender Dragon and even the Warden.
A cube shard dropped by the Rubik's Cube Golem is the other key ingredient. The golem spawns in a rare structure usually found one to three thousand blocks away, and after defeating it a player receives a cube shard, a cube artifact and seven diamond blocks. Most of the new items serve only as ingredients for crafting other items, with just two items per recipe. The mod has Fabric support only and is open source under the MIT License, for 1.20.2.
The mod is published for Fabric, with client and server both needing it. Cube' Em adds new structures, items, a block and a boss, and the golem is immune to arrows and can be beaten by players who want a challenge. Creative mode can be used to obtain the sword without the full search.
