The Ice Warrior
Description
Minecraft datapack that add an ice themed boss
WARNING
This datapack require a resourcepack
Require the mod launch-command
This datapack whas made using Animated Java (so if the datapack is terrible that on me)
Features
This datapack has a config wich you can access it with /function icewarrior:admin/_/config
To find the boss, you will need to find the ice_guard_tower structure located in the ice_spikes biome.
NOTE
You can craft a map that will show you the structure by dropping a
Woodland explorer mapinside apowder_snow
When entering the tower you will see the ice warrior encased in ice. To release him you will need to use a lava bucket in order to melt the ice (right-click).
Or you can summon the boss anywere in your wold using the command /function icewarrior:admin/_/summon
Or you can summon the boss encased in ice with /function icewarrior:boss_summoner/summon
Boss behavior:
- 2 phases
- 170 health
- everythime you get hit his combo counter will go up, dodging an attack will reset it to 0.
First phase: The boss will attack using his ice claw
- fast attacks and speed
- only damage the target
- can parry projectile (increase combo counter)
- will use his ultimate attack at 7 combos
Second phase: The boss will attack using his trident (activate on 50% max hp)
- the boss will receive a buff (immune to fire, increased armor, speed...)
- slow but strong attacks
- can damage other mob alongside the target
- no longer parry projectile
- stop some of his attack on miss
- will use his ultimate attack at 5 combos
- no longer use his other attack
- can parry projectile
- can launch himself to the target
NOTE
The boss isn't that strong, and all his attacks are dodgeable. I personally recommend to face him with a full set of diamond armor.
The boss cannot target/damage mobs that have the tag icew.immune.
You can change the boss target with /execute as <entity> run function icewarrior:set_target
Because working with vanilla mob with datapack can be an absolute nightmare, all Ice Warrior share the same target.
Other informations
Because the boss use a stray has is hitbox/health, any mod that modify stray can affect the boss and might cause issues. Hoewer I already fixed this issue for some mod, if those allowed me to blacklist the mob from getting any modification.
Also because the boss use a stray has his hitbox/health, he has some difficulty when attacking mob with wide hitbox.
You can modify:
- items can melt the boss ice in
data/icewarrior/tags/item/can_melt_ice_room.json - mobs that aggro the boss in
data/icewarrior/tags/entity_type/aggro_boss.json - entities that can be parried in
data/icewarrior/tags/entity_type/can_parry.json
Knows issues
- An issue has been found with mob battle where if you set the boss target using the mod items, the stray that his use for the boss hitbox/health, will not reset is target and attack the mob (he deal 0 damage btw). If you want to change the boss target run this command:
/execute as <entity> run function icewarrior:set_target
Problems you might encounter
Spoiler
1. The boss isn't working at all / animation are not playing
I have 0 idea what's causing this issue, but the main way to fix it is to execute these commands in order.
/datapack disable <icewarrior datapack>
/execute positioned 0 0 0 run reload
/datapack enable <icewarrior datapack>
/execute positioned 0 0 0 run reload
2. When summoning the boss I only see prismarine_shard
That mean the resource pack need an higher priority. Go to the resource pack and make Fabric mods (on fabric) / Mod Resources (NeoForge) higher on the list. (if you are using the mod version of the datapack)
If that doesn't solve the issue, or create more issues, since other mods can affect the mod resource file.
You can download the required resource pack individually (you will found it on the datapack platform where you can download the datapack .zip file at the bottom of the page)
3. Boss instantly die when summoned
This problem can happen due to mod incompatibility, mainly mods that affect vanilla mobs.
If that happen please report the issue I will try to find the mod and fix it (if possible). But I do not guaranteed that I will found the mod.
