Legendary Monsters
by Miauczel
Legendary Monsters adds a set of boss mobs spread across the early, middle and late game, each with its own drops for crafting weapons and armor.
What it does
Each boss lives in a specific place: a prehistoric beast in its nest in the soul sand valley biome, a warped mushroom entity in the warped forest, Endersent and the smaller Chrosuling, a fire-immune lava eater, a shulker-like mimic inside shulker towers, a frozen golem in snowy biomes, an overgrown colossus deep in the jungle, and a wither-like abomination in the Soul Fortress Remains structure. Defeating a boss gives its drop, and those drops are the crafting materials for the mod's weapons and armor. Endersent and the Chrosuling both apply chorus infection, and the Lava Eater sets enemies on fire.
The mod runs on Forge and NeoForge only. Files exist for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. Either side can run it, and neither needs it. Legendary Monsters Addons and Legendary No More require it. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, though public source code links exist.
Key features
Early, middle and late game bosses
The bosses are arranged in stages, so progression continues from the early game into the late game.
Boss drops for crafting
Bones, shells, runes, skins and crystals from the bosses are used to craft weapons and shields.
Status effects in combat
Endersent and Chrosuling infect players with chorus effects, and the Overgrown Colossus applies poison.
Phased fights
Shulker Mimic and Overgrown Colossus change behavior at health thresholds, adding gravity pull, levitation or summoned Mossy Golems.
