Glowroot Caves: Hybrid Encounter
Glowroot Caves: Hybrid Encounter adds a boss, the Glowroot Hybrid, to the Glowroot Caves world generation mod, so survival players can fight it.
What it does
The boss is placed in its own structure that generates within Glowroot Caves, and players locate that structure with an Explorer's Compass or the Structure locate command, which reports the structure's ID. Before a fight starts, the boss plays its own animation. Its advancements and a Boss Checklist entry let players track progress against it.
The mod requires Glowroot Caves on both Forge and NeoForge, and works alongside Boss Checklist as an optional dependency. Its boss entity carries the forge:bosses and c:bosses tags, so other mods can recognize it. Files are published for 1.20.1 only, with 1.0.2 as the latest build on both loaders, released 2026-02-20 under the MIT License, which is not open source.
