🪱 Desert Scourge

Desert Scourge

  • Desert Scourge is a unique boss worm that can be summoned using the Suspicious Horn in the desert.
  • Has 250 HP. It attacks both directly, attacking the player from underground, and indirectly, summoning its mini-worm minions, which jump out from underground and attack random players.
  • Аfter its death, it drops a new item on place of his head - the Barinade.
    Barinade, obtaining
  • Barinade is a bow whose arrows have no gravity and have great speed.
    • Arrows that hit the block disappear.

🛠️ Compatibility

This datapack will not work correctly on servers with Spigot/Paper. (not relevant since v1.1)
❗This datapack may have problems with other datapacks/mods that somehow change pigs.

💿 Optimization

❗The optimization here isn't the best and I strongly don't recommend spawning more than 1 worm.
