How to help test:
Make sure you’re in a flat, open area.
Run the command: /summonarena
The fletching table acts as the entry/exit point
Entering will automatically spawn Jeff, The Awoken Core at its center.
You’ll be given three unique shields — Blue, Green, and Red — used to block different types of attacks.
From there you should be able to figure out the rest of the fight :)
