Dochi's BattleWorkes
by great_dochi
Dochi's BattleWorkes is a Forge and NeoForge addon for building custom NPC battles and boss encounters inside Minecraft.
What it does
Authors use the addon to set up combat encounters in the game itself: attack patterns, skills, movement, animations, reactions, dialogue and battle music can all be assigned to a boss. Bosses can change behavior across several phases, and the editing happens through in-game tools rather than scripts.
The addon is part of a set built around Dochi's RPG Maker, which provides the editor for advanced combat behaviors. It needs CustomNPCs installed alongside it, and it supports integration with several combat animation and magic mods so that simple and complex NPC fights can be assembled from the same tools. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, and the license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, so the code is not open source.
