This is a very interesting mod! I’m sure you’ve beaten Minecraft countless times. Today, modpacks and mods are blooming everywhere, but they mostly boil down to two things: first, adding other powerful mobs; second, modifying vanilla values to make them extremely overpowered. For example, the "Minecraft Is Too Easy" series—while it’s indeed harder to beat, it doesn’t have much replay value. That’s why I came up with a better idea: instead of tweaking numbers, let’s change the mechanics. And the mod below is what I’m bringing to you—it overhauls the Ender Dragon’s mechanics to make it even more formidable. I’ve upgraded it to have a two-phase health system. Defeating its first phase is not too different from the vanilla version, but after entering the second phase, its attacks will be enhanced, and it can absorb health from nearby Endermen. This means you’ll need teamwork with other players, making the game much more challenging!
