[Archived] Code's Dragon Fight

by CodingLegend0100

Code's Dragon Fight reworks the Ender Dragon battle in the End into a longer, more intense boss fight with several phases.

FabricForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalCreative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.01.20 – 1.20.4

What it does

The fight starts with the dragon at full health, with end crystals on the pillars. Destroying six end crystals moves the dragon into phase 1, and while it is in a phase it stays immune to damage until the phase ends. Once the dragon has three quarters of its health it moves into stage 2, and at half health it moves into stage 3, where it unleashes its wrath. In stage 3 it can rain fireballs, with one falling first and then larger batches of ten dropping in turn.

Miniboss phantoms appear during the fight. Their number depends on how many players are fighting, and while they are alive they grant the Ender Dragon resistance. When the dragon has 25% health left, the final phase begins, and the dragon can perch on the exit portal for about 30 seconds, during which a few Endermen may turn hostile toward players.

The mod is a server mod: the server requires it, and players may add it on their client but do not have to. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, for 1.20 – 1.20.4, and the Data pack platform is also listed. The license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, and the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Multi-phase dragon fight

    The dragon moves through phases tied to its health, with new attacks and behavior in each.

  2. End crystal gating

    Destroying six end crystals is needed before the first phase transition, so the crystals matter to the fight.

  3. Phantom miniboss

    Phantoms spawn during the fight and give the dragon resistance while they remain alive.

  4. Final phase and exit portal

    Below 25% health the dragon enters a final phase in which it can perch on the exit portal.

What the author says

This is the start of the boss fight. The dragon is at full health and all the pillars have their end crystals. In this phase, the dragon is immune to all damage. After destroying 6 end crystals, the dragon transitions into phase 1. The dragon is no longer immune, but in this phase will never perch on the exit portal.
