Electric Skeleton — A Rare Storm-Born Boss for Fabric

During thunderstorms, there's a small chance lightning will strike a regular skeleton and transform it into something far more dangerous. The Electric Skeleton is a fully mechanics-driven boss encounter — not a stat-boosted mob, a genuine fight with patterns to learn and ways to control the difficulty yourself.

How the fight works: In phase one, the boss cycles through ranged lightning attacks, a short pause, a punishing dash if you keep your distance, and ambient lightning strikes that force constant movement — no standing still, no safe spot to heal uninterrupted.

At 50% health, he charges: permanent speed and damage buffs, a glowing visual tell, and an electrified ring that pulses around him for four seconds. Step in water at any point and he enrages instantly and permanently, no matter his health — so fighting near rivers or lakes is a real risk, not a safe retreat. Splash water bottles also trigger this early, for players who want to control when the fight escalates.

Try to block his melee attacks and you'll regret it — lightning strikes you directly through the shield, and the shield is disabled for several seconds after. Defeat him and he drops a usable lightning-infused weapon, giving players a reason to hunt him more than once.

Balanced for late-game (iron to early diamond) — beatable with skill in basic gear, genuinely dangerous if you try to brute-force it in full netherite. Perfect for survival servers that want a memorable, rare encounter rather than another reskinned vanilla mob.

USE To use it put it in your mods folder and your servers mods foldere.
