The Gadyn
by AnooshMods
The Gadyn adds a giant titan that roams the overworld, and players who wake it face a brutal fight with a mob that has more than 100 health and deals over 20 damage per hit.
What it does
Gadyn spawns naturally across the overworld and roams the land as a large structure. It is neutral until provoked: it does not attack when a player comes into sight, so a player can walk past it safely. Striking it, or disturbing it while it sleeps, starts a fight that is meant to be a survival test, and defeating it grants a large experience reward and an exclusive advancement.
The mod is designed for players who want a challenge boss in an existing world, and it fits both single-player worlds and multiplayer servers. Installation needs GeckoLib alongside the mod. Gadyn is published for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the environment is client and server. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
