Hell Guardian

Hell Guardian is a boss with 1000 HP and its own models, not a reskin of a vanilla mob. It is summoned through a building ritual that only works in the Nether, and a summon command using the hellguardian:hell guardian identifier is also available. During the fight the boss spawns five blazes at most every 12 seconds, and it changes behavior with a wither-style logic that starts once its health drops below 50%, when it shoots damaged projectiles.

The mod is built around a suggested gear set for the fight: a Sharpness II iron sword with unbreakable settings, a carved pumpkin, and black dyed leather armor for the legs, chest and feet. Players are advised to bring maxed netherite gear, totems, golden apples and ender pearls. On death the boss drops a netherite ingot. The mod is installed with Fabric and is client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The code is under All rights reserved, and files exist only for 1.20.4 with the latest file 1.0.0, published 2026-01-29 on the alpha channel. The author notes minor bugs will be fixed in future updates.
