Moonstruck Phantasm (Data Pack)

AS OF NOW: The boss is currently inaccessible in survival playthroughs and can only be summoned by typing “/function moonstruck_phantasm:_admin/” in the chat and selecting one of three results to enter. (HUGE credit to the Animated Java Blockbench plugin for making porting the Forge version’s GeckoLib animations possible.)

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, some 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.

At the moment, the boss cannot be encountered via purely-survival mode means and is only accessible through commands (/function moonstruck_phantasm:_admin/). 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 Fight

Attacks

1. Tesseract Charge

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.

2. Orbital Cascade

The boss summons four energy spheres before itself and launches them one by one on its target.

3. Cross-Cleaver Beams

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.

4. Incisions of Eruption

Two telegraphed lines in a cross pattern appear at the target entity’s position before erupting in a line of explosions.

5. Mantra of Mending

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.

6. Fatal Flurry

The boss unleashes a linear storm of projectiles that can catch a player in nasty combos if they get caught by them even once.
