What is Boss

Matej Pacan edited this page Nov 24, 2021 · 10 revisions

img Boss is a premium quality Spigot plugin that adds the possibility of creating custom monsters, animals and NPCs on your server. The custom monsters are called Bosses, and it is up to you how they behave or how they spawn.

What are Bosses

Bosses are simply vanilla Minecraft monsters and animals with enhanced behavior and features. You can create an Ultimate Zombie Warrior, or a special pig for your in-game events! Almost any animal and monster is supported, even mobs like Snowman, Iron Golem and Bats!

What Can Be Boss Used for

You can use Boss for various purposes as you'd like, such as:

  • Enhancing your Survival server's experience
  • Natural spawning of Bosses in your hardcore world
  • Bosses in your Monster Arenas (or directly in a supported plugin CoreArena)
  • To challenge players out as they walk through the forest or in caves...
  • To obtain special keys to unlocks gates (Bosses can have custom drops that you drag directly to their inventory)
  • Trolling your players...
  • and much more! There is no limit!
