![title](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/e9fd2f5572e706700de54f8ec7ee8ca00abb14f0.png) **(As of now, I am closing in on my finals and I do not have time for this datapack. I apologise for the lack of updates or communication, but development will continue after I am finished.)** # Introduction This mod/datapack aims to completely overhaul the Wither fight by providing some general improvements and a set of destructive moves that revolve around the theme of explosions and chaos. The Wither will be a more fun and difficult fight, like its Bedrock cousin. ## Admin Commands Configuration: "/function wither_rework:config" Uninstallation: "/function wither_rework:uninstall" ## Features **Implemented** - The Wither's health has been increased from a measly 300 to an enormous 600 points. - Adding onto that, it now boasts 20 armour and 10 armour toughness. However, there will be ways for you to disable his defences whilst fighting him. - The Wither will no longer fly high above the player so it can actually be hit. (Configurable) - Upon being spawned, a splash text will be displayed for all players in range of the Wither. (This is added via a resource pack which is included as "assets" in the Datapack version, which you will have to add in yourself by creating a new resource pack. _If you are unable or do not want to create the resource pack, nothing will change as its just a 2-second texture._ For the mod version, this is already included.) - 2 Phases. - 5 New attacks that you will be able to learn and adapt to. - A death animation for the Wither. - Ambience added to the Nether Star when dropped from the Wither. - A bunch of explosions. **Planned** - Dynamic difficulty scaling (Based on world difficulty) - Boss music for the Wither **Warning**: Do not fight the Wither near anything you find valuable. ## Attacks

Details

**Attack 1** The Wither ascends high up and sprays the ground with Wither Skulls. However, it cannot shoot directly under himself. **Attack 2** The Wither retreats and charges back at the closest mob. After reaching its target, it will explode. **Attack 3** The Wither flies above the player and slams down on them, creating a massive explosion. The Wither will be stunned for some time after this. **Attack 4** The Wither will follow the nearest player and periodically explode. **Attack 5** The Wither releases decaying gas across the ground. There will be openings in the gas for you to slip through. The Wither will be stunned for a long period after this.

## Recommendations

Gear

- I advise you to wear at least full diamond armour, with any level of protection. (Ideally some blast protection too.) - For your sword, diamond + smite or anything matching that damage will do just fine. - Bring a Shield. Or you can fight it with Iron-level equipment if you're skilled enough.

Datapacks / Resourcepacks

**Datapacks** This datapack adds music from MC Dungeons, pairs very well with the chaotic nature of the newly improved Wither: - [https://modrinth.com/datapack/ranolds-boss-music-(datapack)](https://modrinth.com/datapack/ranolds-boss-music-(datapack)) **Resource Packs** Bosses Refreshed makes the wither look more menacing along with the Ender Dragon/Guardian: - [https://modrinth.com/resourcepack/boss-refreshed](https://modrinth.com/resourcepack/boss-refreshed) AL's Boss Rush also looks great if you prefer the vanilla feel: - [https://modrinth.com/resourcepack/als-boss-rush](https://modrinth.com/resourcepack/als-boss-rush) Using any resource pack that makes Wither Hearts more visible is also advised.
