Harvester's Night
by Lykrast
Harvester's Night is a Forge boss mod for 1.12.2 in which an early-game boss called the Harvester appears during the night.
What it does
The Harvester spawns occasionally at night, announced by a lightning strike across a cloudless sky and followed by his laughter. Players who spot his entrance can go after him before day rises. He is meant as a difficult fight for the early game, and defeating him is the way to obtain his scythe, a tool that mows down grass, flowers and leaves quickly.
Server owners can change how often the boss appears and limit or allow spawning by dimension through a configurable white or blacklist. Other options adjust how the boss looks, turn off the spawn animation and remove the health bar. The mod is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files exist for 1.12.2 only, with 1.1.0 as the latest Forge build from 2021-11-18.
