The Ghast Cow
by Mrbysco
The Ghast Cow adds a mini-boss called the Ghow, which a player summons by making a ghast kill a cow, and the cow is renamed Ghast.
What it does
Ghast Cow adds a mini-boss fight, the Ghow, that appears once a ghast has killed a cow. The mod is themed as a joke, built around an online quiz response in which the Ghow is posed as a question with a choice of answers. The boss is presented as an end-game encounter.
The mod needs Fabric API on Fabric and Forge Config API Port on Forge and NeoForge. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is open source under the MIT License and published for 1.16.5 – 26.1.2 across Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.
