Overgrown's Origins: Wither Unleashed
by Overgrown
Overgrown's Origins: Wither Unleashed changes the Wither boss fight through a datapack that adds new challenges and mechanics to the boss's existing behavior.
What it does
The pack makes the Wither fight harder without replacing the base game. The Wither gets a health pool of 600 hearts, and when its health drops below set thresholds it summons Wither Skeletons to assist in the battle. Its skull projectiles deal 25% more knockback, and upon defeat it triggers an explosion larger than usual.
Installation needs Fabric API and Origins, which are required dependencies. The server must run the mod, while players may leave it out of their installs. Files target 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 and are published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest build. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
