Moonstruck Phantasm

## IMPORTANT: Requires **(https://modrinth.com/mod/geckolib)** !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/8BmcQJ2H/012d1aadbc754995de66e8c149a56aa10b63fe05_96.webp) ### **DEAR FABRIC/DATA PACK USERS, unlike the Forge/NeoForge versions of the mod, they do not mandate the installation of GeckoLib in order to run. However, the Fabric version instead works as a data pack packaged as a mod and thus comes with the need to use commands (/function moonstruck_phantasm:_admin/) in order to summon the boss as of now.** _(HUGE credit to the (https://animated-java.dev/) Blockbench plugin for making porting the Forge version's GeckoLib animations possible.)_ **+ Aside from that, if you are using any other data pack with a custom resource pack and are experiencing texture/model conflicts, you are advised to (https://weld.smithed.dev/) together every involved data pack's resource packs into a merged pack. The resulting merged pack should also work with the mod's Fabric/Quilt versions, so long as you put the merged pack anywhere above "mod resources" in the equipped resource packs.** ͏ ͏ **Moonstruck Phantasm** is a mod that brings forth a spectacular new adversary to your game, the **Moonstruck Apparition.** Equipped with a brimful arsenal of attacks with a unique emphasis on evading them as opposed to throwing yourself in and hoping that you come out on the other side of the ordeal alive. Each and every attack is designed around dodging, with a few subtle hints to each attacks' usage before the boss uses them. However, it is advisable to do a few trial runs before confronting the boss for real as it takes some getting used to reacting to its attacks and countering them. !(https://i.ibb.co/P610045/2025-01-20-17-32-03.png) At the moment, the boss is inaccessible via purely-survival mode means and is only accessible through creative mode/commands. This, however, will be addressed in a future update which will come along with a custom item drop as a reward for besting this foe in combat. For now, you may as well enjoy pitting it into conflicts among other resilient adversaries (mob battles, to be extra clear) as this boss was strictly programmed with that idea in mind. ## Full Boss Battle Showcase <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/xSI0GabraVo" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe> ## Attacks <details> <summary>1. Tesseract Charge</summary> !(https://i.imgur.com/KLxFmeu.gif) </details> The boss generates a forcefield around itself which will exert a crushing force unto those who enter it. It will then lunge towards its target three subsequent times. <details> <summary>2. Orbital Cascade</summary> !(https://i.imgur.com/zVmjGT4.gif) </details> The boss summons four energy spheres before itself and launches them one by one on its target. <details> <summary>3. Cross-Cleaver Beams</summary> !(https://i.imgur.com/clIDQv6.gif) </details> The boss will warp to random positions around and above the target entity and throws beams in the form of "+" or "x" crosses. The final two come in quick succession, not before the boss pulls a savvy play in deceptive teleportation. <details> <summary>4. Incisions of Eruption</summary> !(https://i.imgur.com/tFwvPNe.gif) </details> Two telegraphed lines in a cross pattern appear at the target entity's position before erupting in a line of explosions. <details> <summary>5. Mantra of Mending</summary> !(https://i.imgur.com/IGr4gwo.gif) </details> The boss calls upon an incantation, recovering almost a fifth of its maximum health pool. You can interrupt this spell by simply doing damage even if it's as minimal as half-a-heart. You have about three seconds to do so. <details> <summary>6. Fatal Flurry</summary> !(https://i.imgur.com/1A2ZBDw.gif) </details> The boss unleashes a linear storm of projectiles that can catch a player in nasty combos if they get caught by them even once.
