SCP-001, The Gate Guardian
by Zcoper
SCP-001, The Gate Guardian is a Forge mob, based on the SCP universe, that stands as a floating guardian over a gate and attacks anything that comes too close.
What it does
The mob is a boss-style entity that floats above the ground in front of a mysterious gate. A player who approaches receives warnings of growing severity, and a player who crosses about 80 blocks into its range is struck by a sword slam that kills them outright. Nearby entities vanish when it acts, and strange particles swirl endlessly around it. Harming it directly is not practical; the only safe course is to heed its warnings and keep away.
SCP-001 spawns rarely and only one instance exists in a world. Its spawn point is a dedicated building found in badlands and desert biomes. It protects the gate it spawns with and does not trigger custom portals. A player cannot enter the portal while the guardian is active, because the fight ends with the gate closed. The mod depends on Geckolib, which must be installed next to it on Forge. Files are published for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest build, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod.

Rare structure spawn
