Harsh Encounters

Each boss fight is built from heavy melee attacks, charges, slams and jumps, along with ranged attacks. The Sentinel can summon rain of spears and lift the player into the air before a slam, and its fire wave heals the boss while small tornados carry damage. Phase one brings grabs that deal large damage, and the second phase adds more summons and new attacks that the player has to dodge. Some hits apply an electrified effect that increases damage taken, and a Scorched damage-over-time effect slightly reduces the player's offense and defense. Certain boss moves leave the boss stunned for a short window, which gives the player a chance to strike.

Installation needs only the mod itself on Forge or NeoForge, with no required dependencies listed. Harsh Encounters runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge 0.1.8 on 1.20.1 and NeoForge 1.0.2 on 1.21.1, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
