SMANW
An RPG-style boss progression mod with stats, side quests, and brutal end-game challenges.
SMANW introduces a structured boss progression system where power is earned — not handed out.
Each boss features unique combat mechanics, custom abilities, lore-driven encounters, and weapon drops that fundamentally change how you approach combat.
Every kill contributes to a custom XP counter that allows you to upgrade your player’s stats.
Progression gates late-game dimensions, bosses, and challenges.
This is not a sandbox power fantasy.
This is earned dominance.
⚠️ Requirements
Requires:
-
GeckoLib
-
Epic Fight
-
Weapons of Miracles
Designed and balanced around Epic Fight combat mechanics.
🛡️ Early Game Content
Before emerald.
Before ruby.
Before dominance.
The early game in SMANW introduces mechanics — not just gear.
🟠 Copper Armor
Copper armor is your first combat-mechanic armor set.
⚡ Passive Ability – Conductive Charge
Wearing the full Copper Armor set grants:
-
Taking damage stores Static Charge
-
When fully charged, your next melee hit releases chain lightning
-
Deals small AoE lightning damage
-
Damage scales slightly with your XP level
-
Fully charged players emit visible electric sparks until discharge
Copper rewards aggression.
It punishes enemies for striking first.
It teaches you timing.
🍇 Grape Bush
A dense, fast-growing berry plant that produces clusters of small purple grapes.
Grape bushes grow naturally across the world and are known for their rapid regeneration and abundant harvests.
Breaking a mature bush yields 5 grapes, making them one of the most reliable early food sources available.
Unlike most crops, grape bushes replenish quickly, allowing players to harvest them repeatedly without needing to replant.
Simple.
Plentiful.
Reliable.
When food is scarce, the wild often provides.
✨ Twinkle – Early Utility Blade
Not all power is destructive.
Some power reveals.
✨ Twinkle
A lightweight early-game sword forged with faint celestial fragments.
Passive Ability – Danger Sense
-
All hostile mobs within range begin to glow
-
Hidden threats become visible
-
Ambushes become harder
-
Cave exploration becomes safer
Twinkle does not increase raw damage.
It increases awareness.
In SMANW, awareness is survival.

☄️ WORLD EVENTS
Reality does not remain stable for long in SMANW.
As powerful entities are defeated and ancient forces awaken, the world itself begins reacting.
Strange phenomena begin appearing across the land.
☄️ Meteor Events
Occasionally, while exploring the world — or shortly after defeating a boss — meteors may streak across the sky and crash violently into the terrain.
These are small meteor events that introduce sudden environmental danger.
Meteor impacts:
These events are not cosmetic.
They permanently scar the world.
Meteor Variants
Small Meteors
Large Meteors
At the center of a large meteor impact lies a crash site.
Crash sites may contain:
Powerful materials from beyond reality often arrive inside these cosmic fragments.
If you see a crater…
Something valuable may lie inside.
🌑 THE DEEP VOID
After defeating The Alpha Man, strange unnatural wells begin appearing across the Overworld.
Drop a Nether Star into one.
Reality distorts.
A rift opens.
Step through.
You have entered:
The Deep Void
A dimension where discarded fragments of existence drift endlessly.
👁️ The Void
Spawn: Deep Void
Health: 1000 HP
Boss Intro:
“I am what was discarded.
I am what was denied.
I am what remained.”
The Void is the embodiment of abandoned ideas and rejected creation.
Every fragment of reality that never became part of the world was cast here.
It manifests as a floating cosmic eye wrapped in shadowed tendrils.
It does not roar.
It does not walk.
It simply exists.
And it hates.
Combat Mechanics
Drop – Blade of Void
Right-clicking instantly one-shots every monster.
Absolute power.
No mercy.
🐷 DEEP VOID CREATURES
The Deep Void is not empty.
Strange beings wander the dimension.
🐷 Pigmen
Pigmen naturally spawn throughout the Deep Void.
These are in fact the Pigmen of the Nether.
They are ancient displaced creatures, wandering endlessly through fragments of broken terrain after being casted out of their home realm.
Behavior:
Drops may include:
They are remnants of lost worlds.
🐉 POST-HELL THREAT – JABBERWOCKY
After defeating Herobrine, something changes.
Reality weakens.
The Void begins leaking into the Overworld.
And something comes through.
🐉 Jabberwocky
Spawn: Dark Forest & Plains (Night)
Health: 450 HP
Boss Intro:
“It did not evolve here.
It was transferred.”
When the Void tore through the seams of creation, it dragged something ancient with it — confused, furious, and suddenly stranded in a world it does not belong to.
The Jabberwocky hunts in silence.

Unpredictable.
Violent.
Lethal.

“You were not meant to hear it.
You were not meant to answer.
But you did.”
The Sculk Wendigo is not a creature.
It is an infection.
Born from the Deep Dark’s sentience, it forms from corrupted souls consumed by the Sculk’s endless hunger.
It does not see.
It listens.
Every movement… every heartbeat… every mistake…
It hears you.
Sonic Shriek Burst
- Releases a Warden-like shriek in a cone
This is not a fight of strength.
It is a fight of discipline.
Drop – Sculk Claws
Claws infused with living sound.
Active Ability (Right Click):
It is a fight of discipline.
👁️ THE VOID – REDEMPTION
Defeating the Jabberwocky does not end the story.
It awakens something.
The Void realizes what has been unleashed.
For the first time…
It fights not out of hatred — but desperation.
👁️ The Void – Redemption
Spawn: Deep Void
Health: 2300+ HP
Boss Intro:
“You cut the creature that bled into my world.
Now face the wound itself.”
