I made this mod primarly for my youtube video:

I tried to make it so everything that happens in this mod is technically possible to encounter in Vanilla minecraft. But it's not perfect. Please don't hate, it's my first time ever making a mod and some of the code was AI generated (shoutout ChatGPT). The mod is quite hard to beat and straight up impossible on a random seed.
