FabricClient and serverAll rights reserved1.21.3

What it does

The boss charges on horseback and is summoned after a shearing pumpkin night while the player has the Bad Omen effect. Defeating it hands control of the horse to the player, who can then use the Ancient Lance, the weapon most effective against the boss. The mod runs on Fabric for 1.21.3 and requires Fabric API. Both the server and every player need it, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
