Portix's Better End Fight
Do you think the Ender Dragon fight in vanilla Minecraft is too easy and predictable? Then this mod is the perfect solution for increasing the challenge and strategic depth of one of the game's key encounters!
Modernized Dragon Battle
The Ender Dragon is deeply connected to the End Crystals: while any of them remain active, the dragon becomes invulnerable to attacks. Not only that - the monster can respawn crystals when reaching certain health thresholds: 80%, 60%, 40%, and 20%, turning the battle into a true test of endurance and tactical thinking.
Players will need to employ more strategy, since only one crystal is vulnerable at a time! The system periodically changes which specific crystal can be destroyed.
Key Mod Features
- Dragon Protection: invulnerability to attacks while End Crystals are active
- Crystal Respawning: automatic restoration at critical health levels with adjustable cooldown
- New Effects: particles around protected towers and visual effects during crystal respawn
- Enhanced Strategy: alternating vulnerable and invulnerable crystals
- Compatibility: works with most End-related mods and datapacks
- Explosion Immunity: dragon is protected from explosions
- Configuration: configuration through MidnightLib (required for installation)
Important technical feature: When first entering the End, all crystals become vulnerable for a short time until protection activates. To check the remaining time until possible crystal respawn, use the command /endfightoverhaul crystalRespawnCooldown.
Some visual effects may persist longer than intended to ensure the immersive shield effect around towers.
