Boisterous Bossfights | Datapack Contest [JUDGING]healing
Rules, rewards, and other info: https://youtu.be/ELMypY3EO4Q
What's It About?
Boisterous Bossfights is your opportunity to make the biggest, baddest boss of them all- using datapacks. This could mean anything from a Herobrine-summoning reboot to a brand-new boss with brand-new abilities. Have it summon naturally, or with items and structures- the possibilies are nearly endless. Be creative!
Rules
Entering:
- Entries must be submitted by the deadline (Tuesday, August 31st, 2021).
- Datapacks made prior to the release date of this contest are not allowed.
- Entries must be made specifically for the purpose of entering the contest.
- If your datapack isn't playable, or if it is too glitchy to play properly, it will be disqualified.
- Datapacks which don't match the theme will also be disqualified.
- Using an existing boss (Ender Dragon, Wither) as a base is not allowed.
- Using existing mobs, including ones not fully implemented (Giant, Illusioner) as a base is allowed.
- Creating a fully custom boss using armor stands, markers, etc. is allowed.
- Bossbars used to display health will earn you some extra points, but are not required.
- The boss must have a way you can spawn it without running a command. This could involve items, structures, or even natural spawning.
- The datapack must have an understandable usage guide either inside the code or on the download page.
Enter by sending the link to your datapack in the comments section. Datapacks not hosted on PMC will be automatically disqualified. Once your entry has been accepted, it will be placed in the chart below, where you're also able to view other people's entries.

Entry List
The contest has ended - no further entries are being accepted!
Prizes
The winner of this contest gets the "Contest Winner" rank on my Discord server (if they choose to join), a shoutout in the follow-up video to this contest, and ten dollars of Steam Credit. If you win, make sure to contact me with any promotion-related material you want me to present in the next video.
Second and third place winners will also be mentioned in the video, along with their entries. If I happen to find a datapack in the contest that is just too good to go unmentioned, it will get a sort of "Honorable Mention" during the follow-up.
It's more than likely that I'll be using footage of most, if not all, the bossfights during the video, and listing every link in the description. If you aren't okay with this, make sure to contact me about that.
Judging
The winners will be determined based on:
- Creativity - uniqueness of the idea
- Smoothness - the datapack should work without glitches
- Fun - the datapack should be entertaining to play with
- Ease of use - the datapack should have a clear-cut summoning method, bossfight sequence, etc.
Other Info
Want to know how to create a custom bossbar that displays health? First, create a scoreboard objective that syncs with the health of your boss (I'll leave this to you- I'm not going to tell you everything ;) ). Then, make a custom bossbar (check out this tutorial) to display that objective. The rest is up to you....
Have any questions? Put them in the comments section and I'll try to get to them as soon as I can.
Remember, the deadline is 8/31/2021, so get coding!
Trophies! (Kindly created by krossy)

THE CONTEST HAS OFFICIALLY ENDED!
But there's still a few things to keep an eye out for:
But there's still a few things to keep an eye out for:
- Judging will begin shortly.
- A separate forum post will be created with a list of the winners and a description of each entry. Make sure you check back on this post regularly so you don't miss it.
- Individual notifications will be sent out to first, second, and third place winners.
- The video about the contest results will be coming at some point (?) after the judging process is finished.
- Trophies created by The ExiIed FeIIow have been added to the post! Once winners are announced, I will send them their trophies. Everyone else can download the participation award to show that you were along for the ride.
Cool! Custom entities (and behavior) were never really part of my knowledge, but I'm curious what other people will come up with!
Great contest! :D
If you add a (1070x275 px) banner we can better help promote. 😁

Yep, I tried... I'll try again, I suppose. It just reverted to a link as soon as I posted the forum. Is there a way to insert an image without a link, or do I just have to get the dimensions right?
You can use imgur.com as your image hosting site. You need to grab the image URL by right click > copy image URL. And then you use the Insert/Edit media button in your PMC text editor (the picture icon) to paste it in properly. 😊 It doesn't need to be an exact dimension, any size goes! The size I mentioned is just what fits on the pop reel best.
Nevermind, just figured it out ._.
Great! Banner looks nice 😁
I always find imagebb easier
Made some trophies (and medals) for those who participated in this event. They can just slap it onto their unofficial community trophy cases if they did make one like I have.
4th Place and so on...
3rd Place...
2nd Place...
1st Place...

Okay, this is actually super awesome. I'll put these on the post and make sure to mention that you made 'em.
Glad I could contribute. C=
I'm super impressed by all the entries for this, as well as the quantity of them.. It's awesome to see a bunch of datapackers actually making original, cool stuff for once!
It's a welcome break from the deluge of OP Loot packs, eh?
Ugh. I'm gonna hate myself for this but I might try and make a Touhou boss fight.
I had to look that up. Anyway, now I see why you're terrified lol
But you should totally do it anyway

It's more just because I hate making boss fights at all, it's an absolute ton of work. The Hovering Inferno in Incendium is partially based on the same thing, but that took me a week to make and even that isn't something I'm quite proud of.
I totally forgot that you made Incendium! Bossfight or no bossfight, I'm glad you at least bothered to check out my little contest
The Joker suddenly has a present in his hand, he juggles it over to Batman.
"Happy batday, birthman!"
Batman opens the present, since he's a good guy.
It contains a coupon for new parents, but is expired.
This is a Joker Joke.

Ooooooooh, I'm almost certainly going to enter this!
That was fast
I can be very fast
Am I too old to reply to this with a "that's what she said"?
You are never too old to say that.
You're always too old, chap
idk if you're too old to be reported
I'd say you're average.

Uh... where's the link exactly?
Oops lol you're right
There is a very small chance that I will make an entry tomorrow. Will be made in one day XD
One question, is it ok if he's a boss meant in my Arcane Sorcery data pack, but made after the data pack? (The weapons he uses will have been made beforehand, but there will be a lot of re-doing to make him able to use them despite not being a player)
Edit: I decided I'll make new weapons for him - because I can't think of any unique drops without giving him new weapons.

Yeah, that's completely fine. I've already got another entry which requires framework (maybe should've included something about that in the rules), so I think your case is perfectly fine.
Also, it seems like a lot of people are waiting 'til the end to enter, so I am considering extending the deadline by a bit.

Lol you'd need to extend it a weekend for me to have a higher chance of entering because I'm not gonna be data packing much on weekdays
Is it ok if the data pack requires my other data pack to function?
Yep!
Great! That means I'm done! I just need to post it (for which I must make an awesome banner.)

Sorry, I took the "Datapacks made prior to the release date of this contest are not allowed." as released packs, not you couldn't have changed a project you were still working on (as in the model) to work for it, but after listening to the video explaining it i feel like I got this wrong. I had been working on this pack about a week before the challenge released I think, I completely understand if that means that I am disqualified as you need to keep it fair to everyone.
Ah, I see. How much did you have done before the release date? If you were just starting to think things over and throw down a few lines of code, I'd probably be willing to make an exception.
I would at that point have had none of the actual datapack down, just me modeling the snail (it started as me just modeling/animating a random thing and seeing where it would end)
Oh, just the modeling? I think that's completely fine since you were just developing an idea. I'll keep it
I'm a little late to noticing this thread, but I've decided I'm going to try! I happen to have an idea for a boss that I've been wanting to make for ages now, but I've never gotten around to it. This is the perfect opportunity! :)
Awesome! I'm almost surprised at how many entrants I'm getting lol
This is immensely exciting. I'm definitely interested ;)
