Iron Knuckle

by ThirtyFangs

Iron Knuckle adds a Zelda-style armored mob, summoned by a function, that players fight on their world.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved26.1 – 26.3

What it does

The mob stays still until a player comes close, then it attacks. Its armor breaks down with each hit, and the fight ends only after enough damage is dealt. A map maker can tag the mob before summoning it to test the encounter. The mob is added through the Zelda series, with Ocarina of Time as its reference. The server needs the mod, while players may leave it out. The resource pack is also required for the mob's textures. Files target 26.1 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the Data pack option is available.

Key features

  1. Summon function

    A function command spawns the mob at a chosen location, so map makers can place it in adventures.

  2. Staged armor

    Hits strip the armor away over time, and the mob fights on until enough damage is dealt.

  3. Stationary until approached

    The mob does not move until a player comes close, or until another player comes close to it.
