This mod requires InsaneLib

This mod makes Wither and Ender Dragon harder by letting you summon a stronger version of them. Also makes the Elder Guardian's fight harder.

The difficulty will adapt based off the players around the boss.

  • More health: they're bosses ... why can they go down with a few hits?
  • New abilities: like Wither Charging or Dragon respawning crystals
  • Minions: both Dragon and Wither have Minions
  • Caged crystals: more cages will spawn around crystals, and some crystals will spawn inside towers
  • Faster Acidballs and Skulls: dodging is harder
  • Elder Guardian Fight's harder and with an actual reward! 
  • Many many bug fixes: Mojang no longer cares about the survival aspect of the game
  • And much much more! This is only the tip of the tower iceberg.
