by Kazkas

EssenceBound is a NeoForge magic mod for 1.21.4 that adds four new bosses, a levelling system and special items to the game.

NeoForgeClient and serverApache License 2.01.21.4

What it does

Bosses drop essences that feed an extractor, and the crafted results open new gear such as the Inferno trident, which can be thrown and also used in melee. A sky boss and two extra items sit alongside the four main bosses, and a fragment rain event starts the progression. Recipes for wings and golden feathers are part of the crafting path. Files are published for NeoForge only, for the single version 1.21.4, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod.

Key features

  1. Four new bosses

    Four bosses join the game, each with its own special items and a crafting path tied to the levelling system.

  2. Throwable trident

    The Inferno trident can be thrown or swung in melee, with the Hellfork as its melee form.

  3. Essence extraction

    Boss essence is fed into an extractor, and rarer embodiment drops come from the Deus Aquais step.
