Virtuso's Grand Battle
by Fire_Sheep
Virtuso's Grand Battle adds an illager boss that appears in the later stages of Raids, for players who reach them on Forge 1.20.1.
What it does
The boss arrives in the later stages of a raid, so a raid that has already been won earlier still ends with a fight. Its appearance is meant to make raids on Forge 1.20.1 harder in their final waves. The mod runs on client and server, so a server and every player who joins it need the mod installed. It requires Geckolib, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source. The latest Forge file is 1.3.0 for 1.20.1, published on 2026-03-16.

What the author says
Adds a Boss that shows up in later stages of Raids. (Boss Is Mostly Complete [Probably will add some new Anims to make the Boss more Lively and intimidating] but items and bug fixes will come with time and criticism). Geckolib is needed cause im too lazy to do it without it.
