Ender Dragon Fight Remastered
by MrGenie151
Ender Dragon Fight Remastered raises the difficulty of the Ender Dragon fight, with a second phase, a 500-health dragon and several extra attacks.
What it does
Once the dragon reaches half health she becomes Mad, respawns three end crystals and gains a separate set of attacks. She can enter this state only once. Before that point the fight uses a fixed attack order: endermen are forced to target a random player, end zombies are summoned, explosive fireballs are fired, and the dragon is made to perch, with a fireball attack replacing the perch while she is Mad. Boss music is added to the fight, and the dragon's health is raised from 200 to 500.
The mod is a server-side addition: the server needs it, and players may install it as well. Without the mod or its resource pack, players hear no boss music, though the fight still runs. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a data pack, for 1.19 – 26.2 across 28 release versions. The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Snapshot builds are published as well.
Key features
Dragon health increase
The Ender Dragon has 500 health instead of the vanilla 200, which lengthens the fight.
Second phase
At half health the dragon turns Mad, respawns three end crystals and uses attacks not seen in the first phase.
Explosive fireballs
The dragon fires fireballs that explode on impact as one of her standard attacks.
Evoker fangs and lightning
Lightning and evoker fangs strike players during the fight, and a moving player can be struck where they stood a second earlier.
Boss music
Music is added to the fight to give it a final-boss feel, and its volume can be lowered in the Music and Sounds settings.
