EB's Wildfire

by Mister-EB

EB's Wildfire brings a Wildfire boss, drawn from Minecraft Dungeons, into the Nether, where it fights with shields, fireballs and a shockwave.

What it does

The Wildfire is a miniboss that spawns in Nether Fortresses. It hovers and shoots barrages of fireballs, then pauses to reload, which gives a player a window to strike. Slamming its rod into the ground sends nearby mobs and players flying, so a player standing too close can be thrown off a ledge or into the air. The fight is built around four shields that must be broken before the Wildfire itself takes damage, and it can summon two to four Blazes when none are nearby. Shields recover over time and are also restored when the Wildfire touches water or powder snow. The mod keeps the Wildfire's Minecraft Dungeons behavior and makes some changes to suit vanilla play.

The mod also adds the Wildfire Gem, dropped by the Wildfire with a 75% chance, which crafts into the Wildfire Crest, a rare helmet. The Crest regenerates personal Wildfire Shields over time, up to four, so a wearer can absorb several hits, such as four Creeper explosions. The gem and the Crest are the only new items named here, and Geckolib must be installed alongside the mod.

Key features

  1. Hovering Wildfire miniboss

    The Wildfire spawns in Nether Fortresses and flies and hovers much like a regular Blaze, so it needs careful fighting.

  2. Shield-based defense

    Four shields must be removed before the Wildfire takes damage, and they recover only while the Wildfire goes unhurt.

  3. Fireball barrages and shockwave

    Long barrages of about ten fireballs are followed by a reload, and a ground slam sends nearby mobs and players flying.

  4. Wildfire Crest helmet

    The Wildfire Crest is a rare helmet that slowly regenerates personal shields and also serves as a repair item.

This mod answers this question by adding the Wildfire from Minecraft Dungeons in a way that it keeps its quirks from its debut title, but with some nuance and changes that make it better suit vanilla Minecraft!
