NOTICE: Usage of the 1.20.1 version of this data pack has been deprecated due to the mod now having its own configuration file to do the job.
This data pack is used in tandem with the "Boss Rifts — Compat+" mod and allows the user to configure whichever boss they want to restrict from generating rifts upon death.
Instructions:
1. Open up the .zip file, navigate to "data > bossriftsconfig_disable > functions" and search for the .mcfunction file with name of the mod containing the boss you are looking for. Open that .mcfunction file and proceed to the next step.
(The Elder Guardian is found in vanilla.mcfunction)
2. To disable a boss's ability to generate rifts, simply remove the hashtag situated in front of a command line under the name of the boss they correspond with.
FOR EXAMPLE:

TIP: Hit the "Ctrl" and "F" keys at the same time to look up specific terms and navigate to where they are located.
