MysticRealm - Archivist
by AnooshMods
MysticRealm - Archivist adds a summonable mini-boss, the Archivist, who is fought by players who gather bookshelves and a pumpkin to start the battle.
What it does
The boss is summoned by arranging bookshelves and placing a pumpkin, and he does not fight in melee. Instead he sends an endless swarm of flying books that attack the player. Defeating these flying book minions is the main way to reach him, and each defeated book can drop an Enchanted Book with completely random enchantments, from simple utility effects up to high-tier legendary spells.
Conquering the guardian opens an exclusive archive advancement that rewards the player instantly with 25 experience levels, along with a relic and the option to summon loyal book protectors of the player's own. The mod needs Geckolib, which must be installed alongside it. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the code is under the MIT License, which is not open source.
