From Pixel to Titan — Update Changelog

Minecraft 1.21.11 — Fabric

v1.0.52 — Boss Gear + Mineral Drops Together

• Titan bosses now drop their generated armor and weapons in addition to mineral/resource rewards.

• Boss equipment is no longer removed from the final reward.

• Generated armor and weapons are repaired to 100% durability before being dropped.

• Generated boss equipment has a guaranteed drop chance.

• Equipment is excluded from the Titan loot multiplier:

  • A 44× boss will not drop 44 copies of its armor.

  • Each generated armor piece or weapon drops only once.

• Mineral/resource rewards continue to drop independently.

• Harmless boss bonus mineral rewards remain unchanged.

• Netherite resource rewards still become available starting at 28×.

• The v1.0.51 boss-unlock system remains unchanged.

v1.0.51 — Any Iron or Diamond Gear Unlocks Bosses

• Titan bosses no longer require a complete iron armor set to begin spawning.

• Boss spawning is permanently unlocked after obtaining any single piece of iron or diamond armor:

  • Helmet

  • Chestplate

  • Leggings

  • Boots

• Boss spawning can also be unlocked by obtaining any normal iron or diamond tool/weapon:

  • Sword

  • Pickaxe

  • Axe

  • Shovel

  • Hoe

• Only one qualifying item is required.

• Items such as buckets, shears and horse armor do not count.

• The unlock is permanent once achieved.

• Obtaining one diamond item does not automatically upgrade boss equipment to diamond.

• Boss equipment progression remains:

  • Initial unlocked stage → Iron

  • Complete diamond armor → Diamond

  • Complete netherite armor → Netherite

• Mineral rewards, harmless-boss retaliation, cave restrictions, boss bars and the 44× size cap remain unchanged.

v1.0.50 — Mineral Boss Rewards + Harmless Boss Retaliation

• Added a dedicated mineral/resource reward system for Titan bosses.

• Bosses can reward:

  • Iron

  • Copper

  • Gold

  • Redstone

  • Lapis Lazuli

  • Emerald

  • Diamond

• Netherite Ingots become available only at 28× and 44×.

• Each selected resource gives a random amount between 10 and 64.

• Higher Titan categories can reward more types of resources.

• Normally harmless/passive bosses receive larger resource variety rewards.

• Example:

  • An 8× harmless boss drops exactly 2 different resource types.

  • Each resource gives 10–64 items.

  • Netherite cannot appear at this category.

• Resource types are selected without repeating the same resource in the same reward selection.

• Mineral rewards are separate from the normal Titan loot multiplier to prevent extreme duplicate stacks.

Harmless Boss Retaliation

• Normally passive mobs can now become Titan bosses.

• Harmless Titan bosses remain passive until attacked by a player.

• After being attacked, they:

  • Target the attacking player.

  • Chase the player.

  • Fight back.

• Retaliation can remain active for up to 30 seconds after the latest player attack.

• Passive mobs without a normal attack-damage attribute receive a balanced fallback attack.

• Their damage is limited so they are dangerous without becoming absurdly overpowered.

Historical Spawn Requirement

• In this version, boss spawning was changed from the Diamonds advancement to a complete iron armor set.

• This requirement was later replaced by the easier v1.0.51 system.

v1.0.49 — Player-Based Boss Equipment Progression

• Boss equipment no longer depends on the physical size/category of the Titan.

• Equipment progression is now based on player progression.

Stage 1 — Iron

• Newly unlocked bosses begin with:

  • Iron armor

  • Iron-tier melee weapons

Stage 2 — Diamond

• After a player obtains a complete diamond armor set, future bosses upgrade to:

  • Diamond armor

  • Diamond-tier melee weapons

Stage 3 — Netherite

• After a player obtains a complete netherite armor set, future bosses upgrade to:

  • Netherite armor

  • Netherite-tier melee weapons

• Equipment progression is stored permanently.

• Losing, storing or breaking the armor does not downgrade the player's progression.

• Existing bosses keep the equipment they originally spawned with.

• Only newly generated bosses use newly unlocked equipment stages.

• In multiplayer, nearby player progression is considered when selecting boss equipment.

• Special natural weapons such as bows, crossbows, tridents and maces can be preserved when required by the mob's normal combat behavior.

v1.0.48 — Giant Mobs Become Titan Bosses

• Built directly from the v1.0.47 44× base.

• Giant mobs are now treated as proper Titan bosses.

• Every giant mob from 2× and above receives its own boss health bar.

Cave Spawn Restriction

• Natural Titan bosses can no longer normally appear inside caves.

• In dimensions with normal skylight, a Titan spawn requires access to the sky.

• This prevents giant mobs from unexpectedly spawning underground.

• Dimensions without normal skylight keep their own spawning behavior.

Boss Movement Rebalance

• Giant mobs previously became excessively fast as their size increased.

• Movement speed was replaced with a much more controlled progression.

• Titan movement now ranges approximately from:

  • 2× → 1.05× normal speed

  • 44× → 1.20× normal speed

• Large bosses remain mobile without becoming impossibly fast.

Boss Damage Rebalance

• Giant mob damage no longer scales directly with body size.

• The old extreme size-based damage scaling was replaced by a controlled curve.

• Titan base damage now scales approximately from:

  • 2× → 1.10×

  • 44× → 1.85×

• Bosses remain dangerous without instantly killing players because of their physical size alone.

Boss Health

Titan health scales by category:

• 2× → 1.8× health

• 4× → 2.6× health

• 6× → 3.2× health

• 8× → 4.0× health

• 16× → 5.5× health

• 28× → 7.0× health

• 44× → 9.0× health

Original Equipment System

At the time of v1.0.48, boss equipment originally depended on Titan size:

• 2× / 4× → Iron

• 6× / 8× / 16× → Diamond

• 28× / 44× → Netherite

This size-based equipment progression was replaced by the player-progression system in v1.0.49.

v1.0.47 — Landing Chain Fix + 44× Maximum Size

Landing Blast Chain Fix

• Fixed a bug where landing explosions could repeatedly trigger after the player fell into the crater created by their own previous landing.

• A landing blast now counts as a single impact for that fall.

• Falling deeper into the newly created crater no longer causes another automatic explosion.

• The landing system only rearms after the player remains on stable ground for two consecutive non-landing ticks.

• A later independent jump or fall can trigger the system normally again.

Maximum Size Reduced to 44×

• The global maximum player/Titan scale was reduced from 100× to 44×.

• Current Titan categories became:

1× → 2× → 4× → 6× → 8× → 16× → 28× → 44×

• Old saved scale values above 44× are clamped to the new maximum.

• Natural giant mobs also stop at 44×.

• Loot scaling stops at 44×.

• Fuel scaling stops at 44×.

• Fishing scaling stops at 44×.

• Armor scaling stops at 44×.

• XP scaling stops at 44×.

• Enchantment scaling stops at 44×.

• Item-damage scaling stops at 44×.

44× Maximum Balance

At maximum size:

• Giant tool area → 32×32×8

• Maximum scanned tool positions → 8,192

• Sword explosion radius → 10

• Landing blast radius → 13

• Giant arrow explosion power → 16

• Giant mob loot scaling → 44×

• Giant item melee multiplier → 2.30×

• Giant mob XP multiplier → 3.00×

• Full giant-armor bonus → 25%

v1.0.46 — Stackable Block and Resource Fix

• Fixed blocks and other stackable items refusing to stack after the player mined while growing.

• Previously, every tiny player-size change could be stored directly on the dropped ItemStack.

• This caused otherwise identical blocks to have slightly different scale data.

• Minecraft therefore considered them different items and refused to combine their stacks.

New Category-Based Stack Scaling

Stackable items now store their Titan category instead of every tiny fractional size change.

Categories used:

• 1×

• 2×

• 4×

• 6×

• 8×

• 16×

• 28×

• 44×

• Items obtained within the same category can stack normally.

• Crossing into another real category can still create a different stack because its gameplay scaling is different.

• Non-stackable equipment still keeps its precise physical scale:

  • Tools

  • Weapons

  • Armor

• Old items from previous versions are automatically normalized when:

  • Carried in the inventory

  • Picked up

  • Dropped again

• Existing split stacks can automatically merge again when all their remaining data matches.

v1.0.45 — Landing Blast Now Starts at 8×

• Titan landing explosions no longer begin at 4×.

• The minimum category for the special landing blast/crater is now 8×.

The following sizes cannot trigger a Titan landing explosion:

• 1×

• 2×

• 4×

• 6×

Even an extremely large fall at those sizes will not activate the special Titan landing blast.

Landing progression begins at:

• 8× → Radius 5

• 16× → Radius 7

• 28× → Radius 9

• 44× → Radius 13

• Sword explosions are unaffected.

• Giant arrow explosions are unaffected.

• Only the landing-impact threshold was changed.

v1.0.44 — Giant Armor Protection Scaling

• Giant armor now provides additional damage protection according to the size category stored on the armor piece.

• Armor protection therefore becomes stronger as the armor's Titan category increases.

• The bonus is applied after vanilla armor/toughness calculations so it remains useful even when normal Minecraft armor values are already near their limits.

Full Armor Set Bonus

• 1× → 0%

• 2× → 2.5%

• 4× → 5%

• 6× → 7.5%

• 8× → 10%

• 16× → 15%

• 28× → 20%

• 44× → 25%

Mixed Armor Sets

Different armor categories can be mixed.

Each slot contributes part of the total bonus:

• Helmet → 15%

• Chestplate → 40%

• Leggings → 30%

• Boots → 15%

• Vanilla armor material still matters.

• Armor toughness still works normally.

• Durability still works normally.

• Armor enchantments continue to function.

• Damage types that normally bypass armor continue to bypass this Titan armor bonus.

v1.0.43 — Fully Charged Sword Explosion

• Titan sword shockwaves/explosions now require the vanilla attack cooldown to be 100% fully charged.

• Rapid clicking no longer creates repeated explosions.

• Partially charged attacks still perform their normal melee hit.

• However, partially charged attacks create:

  • No Titan explosion

  • No crater

  • No Titan shockwave knockback

• Once the attack is fully charged again, the Titan sword explosion becomes available.

• Existing explosion radius, damage and size-category scaling remain unchanged.

• This update greatly reduces Titan sword explosion spam.
