DarkBosses
With DarkBosses installed, boss summoning information is shown in the game and defeating bosses grants extra experience.
What it does
The mod shows how to summon each boss and grants bonus experience when a boss is defeated, adding to the vanilla experience a player already earns. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.18.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with 1.0.5 for 1.21.1 as the latest file. Spellblades and Such is required and must be installed alongside it.
Both the server and every player need DarkBosses, because the environment is client and server. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
