The Gigantica datapack features a new overgrown custom plant boss that spawns by using a bonemeal essence on a carnivorous plant. This rare plant can be found in abandoned underground labs scattered across the plains biome. These labs were once owned by the plains scientist who worked tirelessly to bring new overgrowth to the overworld, but failed to contain the deadly Gigantica plant.

Optifine will break the resourcepack!!!
Some mods and shaders will also do that!
The resourcepack and datapack are 1.19.4 only

this datapack should be equipped when creating the world to ensure that the lab generates

How to spawn the boss:

Go in a plains biome and find an overgrown underground lab
Loot the chests to find some bonemeal essence
Go downstairs to see the boss room
In the center of this room there's a small flower, if you use a bonemeal essence on this flower you'll invoke the boss
Once defeated it'll drop you a custom sword which will sometimes invoke poisonous spikes under your enemy

Boss's ability

Regenerate health if it gets in contact with water
Give wither to every entity in a 2 block range from it
Summon poisonous spikes under the player's feet
Spawn some poisonous bubbles that'll try to hit the player
Drink honey bottles and milk from the player's inventory

Other small but cool functionalities

Crops spreading:

Fully grown crops planted by the player will spread on a block next to it after at least 7 seconds if possible
Now you have 2 freshly planted crops
These new crops will also spread on the block next to it, that process will only end once either the player break them or the crops have no block to spread onto

Naturally generated crops

You can now find naturally generated crops in the overworld such as wheat, carrots, beetroots and potatoes.

Bonemeal essence on the crops

The bonemeal essence can not only spawn the boss but also make the plantations ginormous, these big plantations when broken will drop more loot than a normal one.

is it possible to only have the boss spawn with commands and not have the crop thing?

Hello! I was one of the judges for this jam, and I wanted to give you some feedback.

The experience of fighting the boss was incredibly immersive, from the underground structure to the flying poison particles to the animations, it was all cinematic and beautiful. I also found it a fun challenge to defeat as I kept being poisoned and dying. (Imagine trying that in hardcore)

I will agree with Kefaku that there are some balancing issues with the structure though.

Also, the spike sword doesn't seem powerful enough to justify taking on the boss. I think it summons spikes too infrequently, and so it's basically just a diamond sword.

Another thing is that you could add more uses for bonemeal essence, as you find so much of it in a lab, but only one gets used to summon gigantica.

thank's for the comment, there is actually there's another function to the bonemeal essence was to make crops grow a lot bigger, it's not just to summon the boss

How did you animate and add the boss into the game, animated java? or another blockbench method that i don't know about?

Sorry, I should‘ve specified in the description. I used Objmc to import the boss and animations into the game. It uses core shaders, and since optifine kinda messes with them, objmc breaks when using it.

Hello, I'm on my mission of giving everyone who participated in the Jam some detailed feedback. (Just for fun, not related to the actual judging)

About your pack, I especially like how creative and well animated the boss is. (pitb 😏)
The problem I see with this pack, is how unbalanced it is. Having an OP boss is not a problem, because people can decide wether they go there or not, but placing ~190 redstone blocks in the world is definitely giving players to many resources without any hurdle/challenge.
Overall, your pack is very creative and interesting, but not balanced enough yet.

This feedback is kinda short, because Rignchen was pressuring me to get it out quickly, deal with it...

I wasn't pressuring you... I just said I was sad to be the only one not to have a feedback
