World Boss is a datapack aims to add new bosses to Vanilla Minecraft.

The resource pack is available in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian. The new item textures use the Faithful resource pack with a resolution of 32x32.

For now, only one boss is available. If you find any bugs or have any ideas for additional bosses, please report them in the comments. I am open to new ideas as long as they fit the purpose of the datapack.

The Skeleton King
The Long Night

The Long Night starts after 100-day game and will continue until the Skeleton King is defeated.

Skeleton King

Once the Long Night begins, the Skeleton King spawns and the night continues until he is defeated. He brings with him four skeleton archers, four skeleton guards and his army. Once killed, he drops his sword and he will never return.

Skeleton Army

During the Long Night, only unarmed skeletons can be found. Skeletons in the army have a chance to drop a new item: a fragment. This fragment can be used by right-clicking to give the Skeleton King or his guards a glowing effect. Once the Skeleton King is defeated, his army and guards disappear.

Skeleton King's Sword

Once you have the sword, you can use it to unarm skeletons within a 10-block radius by right clicking. Skeletons can pick up items from the ground, and if one of them picks up the sword, it will disappear and the skeleton will come back as the new Skeleton King at night.

What do I do if the spawning commands don't work? I've tried spawning the night king when it was 14000 in the night and he didn't spawn. I don't know if this datapack doesn't work because im on PaperMC

Another person has the same problem but I don't know if he is on Paper too. I am asking and let you know as soon as possible.
I advise you to try without Paper, just to know if it works or not. One more thing, the datapack use mobs to spawn the Night King at a certain distance from the player, 50 block minimum if I remember. If there are no mobs around you, nothing happed so make sure to be at least in Easy mode and have some mobs around you to let the King spawns.

This datapack is a bit is inspired from Game Of Thrones as you might guessed but the real propose of it, is the challenge. Knowing the Long Night is starting should feel like when you want to kill the Wither (at least for your first time). And as the Wither, this datapack let you choose if you want to let the Dark Knight spawn or just playing without him. Adding an item which can one shots him would brake the feeling of the Long Night with those skelontons surrounding you and with the only goal of killing the Night King to continue your journey.

Not sure, I didn't try, that is why I didn't put from 1.16 to 1.18.

You can try and could you make a feedback please ?

Enjoy !

Actually, there are 2 commands, it just depends on what you wand to do.

The first one is this: /function ns:start_long_night

That will start the long night and summon the Night King naturally. To make it works, make sure to set the night, wait for some mobs spawn and do the command.

The seconde one is this one: /function ns:summon/night_king

That one will summon the Night King at your position.

Enjoy ;)
