✨ GuardianOfNether

A fully configurable Nether Guardian boss with 3 phases, custom armor drop, and Nether access control.

🧠 Concept

The Guardian of the Nether is a powerful boss that guards access to the Nether. Players must defeat it to unlock the Nether portal. Upon death, it drops the Chestplate of Guardian — a cursed armor piece with unique powers that cannot be removed or stored.

⚔️ Features

  • 3 configurable phases — speed, size, armor, damage and regeneration increase with each phase
  • Leash system — the boss stays within a configurable radius around its spawn point
  • Minion waves — wither skeleton minions spawn at the start and at regular intervals
  • Nether lock — the Nether is inaccessible until the boss is defeated (configurable)
  • Chestplate of Guardian — dropped on death with:
  • - Custom red armor trim
  • - Curse of Vanishing (disappears if the wearer dies)
  • - Permanent Glowing effect when worn
  • - Cannot be removed from the armor slot
  • - Cannot be stored in any container (chest, ender chest, shulker box...)
  • Fully configurable — phases, stats, drops, messages, all in `config.yml`
  • StackMob support — optional soft-depend to prevent boss/minion stacking
  • Auto update checker — notifies OPs on join if a new version is available

🔧 Installation

1. Install a PaperMC or Purpur compatible server (1. 21+) 2. Download `GuardianOfNether.jar` and place it in your `plugins/` folder 3. Restart the server 4. Edit `plugins/GuardianOfNether/config.yml` to your liking 5. (Optional) Install StackMob to prevent boss and minion stacking
