Dethroned

Dethroned

Four ancient rulers have woken in the Nether, each on its own throne in its own biome. Find them, fight them through two phases, and take their crowns.

The Bosses

💀 The Hollow King (Soul Sand Valley)

A colossal wither skeleton, about 7 blocks tall, with charred bones, soul-fire eyes and a broken obsidian crown.

• Slams the ground with a Bone Shockwave and summons Wither Skeleton guards.
• **Phase 2:** soul fire blazes up. Fires Wither Skulls, moves faster, and its hits give Wither II.
• **Drops:** Bonecleaver sword, Hollow Crown Fragment, Nether Star

🔥 Cindermaw, the Crimson Tyrant (Crimson Forest)

A huge molten hoglin with glowing magma cracks and burnt-gold tusks.

• Tyrant Charge sends you flying and sets you on fire. Ember Stomp leaves fire on the ground.
• **Phase 2:** the cracks turn white-hot. Fires a fan of fireballs and calls hoglins to fight beside it.
• **Drops:** Tyrant Tusk (Tusk Spear), Molten Hide (fire-resistant leggings)

🪨 The Basalt Colossus (Basalt Deltas)

A walking fortress of basalt and blackstone with a lava eye in its chest.

• Pillar Strike raises basalt under your feet. Ground Pound hits everything nearby.
• **Phase 2:** the eye opens. Fires a Magma Beam and takes half damage from arrows.
• **Drops:** Colossus Core (Basalt Hammer), Gilded Blackstone

👁 Veilstalker, the Warped Sovereign (Warped Forest) — NEW in 1.1.0

A towering enderman crowned with warped stems.

• Blink Strike teleports behind you and attacks. Warped Spores blind you.
• **Phase 2:** its eyes turn white. Every blink leaves an echo clone behind, and arrows are teleported away. Melee is the only way to win.
• **Drops:** Veil Shard (Veil Pearl), Warped Crown Stem

Features

• Each boss spawns naturally in its own biome, in about **1 in every 100** monster spawns.

• Every boss is giant, with its own texture, boss bar, sounds and two-phase fight.
• **Crown of the Dethroned:** a helmet crafted from all four bosses' trophies.
• **Veil Pearl:** a reusable ender pearl that never deals fall damage.
• Advancements: Off With Their Crowns, Kingslayer, and Four Thrones Fallen.
• Boss minions drop no loot and crumble away when their boss dies.
• Configurable: turn natural spawns on or off, change how common bosses are, set each boss's health, and turn minions off.
• Block-changing attacks follow the mobGriefing game rule.
