RPG Bosses
A utility mod for modpack authors to create bosses more RPG style.
About this Mod
RPG Bosses is a mod focused on creating immersive, RPG-style boss encounters. Each boss is fully customizable via JSON files, allowing modpack creators to tailor their gameplay experience. Bosses spawn minions that respawn after death, turning any fight into an epic, multi-stage challenge, just like in MMORPG games.
How to use this mod:
Navigate to your Minecraft directory: "./config/rpgbosses/bosses/"
Create a new .json file for each boss using this structure below
{
"entity": "minecraft:pig",
"maxMinions": 2,
"minions": [
{
"type": "minecraft:skeleton",
"name": "Skeleton Minion",
"respawnTicks": 400,
"nbt": {
"ArmorItems": [
{ "id": "minecraft:leather_boots", "Count": 1 },
{ "id": "minecraft:leather_leggings", "Count": 1 },
{ "id": "minecraft:leather_chestplate", "Count": 1 },
{ "id": "minecraft:leather_helmet", "Count": 1 }
],
"HandItems": [
{ "id": "minecraft:stone_sword", "Count": 1 },
{}
]
}
}
]
}
- Now every zombie that spawns will summon a skeleton minion when he is damaged.
- Test if your boss is working with this command /spawn_boss file_name
