Vilgax Attacks — v1.0 (Minecraft 1.20.1)

"Harness the power of Taydenite, breach the boundaries of the Null Void, and face Vilgax."

Initial release of the mod. Adds a small Ben 10-inspired boss fight to the Overworld, featuring a new ore, a summoning item, and the boss Vilgax.

✨ New Content

Blocks

• Taydenite Crystal (taydenite_crystal): a naturally-generating ore block found in the Overworld, with 3 sizes/growth stages (small, medium, large), each with its own model and facing orientation. Requires a diamond-tier tool to mine.

Items

• Taydenite Shard (taydenite): the material dropped by mining the Taydenite Crystal (1 shard at small size, 2 at medium, 3 at large).
• Null Void Projector (null_void_projector): a summoning item. Right-clicking it opens a gateway to the Null Void and unleashes Vilgax. Crafted from redstone, taydenite, copper ingots, an ender pearl, an iron ingot, and a spyglass.

Entity / Boss

• Vilgax: a new hostile boss featuring:
  • Its own health bar (a ServerBossEvent-style boss bar).
  • A custom model and animations (including distinct movement and attack animation states).
  • Custom combat AI (VilgaxAttackGoal) and a custom ground pathfinding/navigation system (based on the Wither's).
  • Targets the player who summoned it via NearestAttackableTargetGoal.

World Generation

• The Taydenite Crystal generates in Overworld biomes during the underground_ores step, between Y=-50 and Y=0, with one spawn attempt per chunk.
