Helmaroc King

by ThirtyFangs

Helmaroc King is a boss mob for servers that adds a flying, wing-beating boss with custom attacks drawn from the Zelda series.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.21 – 26.3

What it does

The boss has 300 HP and attacks by flying around the player and hitting. Its attacks include grabbing stone and grass blocks and throwing them at the player, and using its wings to push the player backwards. A flying sound plays while it moves, and the model disappears once it is killed. The fight is built around destroying the crown first and then striking the boss with a mace or sword.

The mechanics are taken from Zelda, including the Wind Waker and Four Swords Adventures versions of the Helmaroc King. A datapack handles the spawning rules, so the boss cannot spawn naturally in a world and has to be placed by a map maker or server owner. A resource pack is required for the visuals and sounds.

The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. It requires a server, and clients may skip it. Files cover 1.21 – 26.3 across 16 release versions, with snapshot builds published, under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Use cases

Custom adventure maps

Map makers can place the boss in an adventure map, since a datapack keeps it from spawning on its own.

Boss encounters on servers

Server owners can set up a Zelda-themed fight as a scripted event for players.

Who it’s for: Map makers and server owners who want a scripted boss fight. Players join a server that runs it and need a resource pack for the full effect.

Yes. The server must run it, while players may leave it out. Clients may leave it out, though a resource pack is needed for the visuals.

Why does the boss not spawn naturally?

A datapack included with the mod stops natural spawning, so the boss has to be placed by a map maker or server owner.
