The Dross

Blue portals have appeared across the world, in shapes no one built. Something on the other side wants in.

The Dross is a dangerous dimension for the mid-to-late game. You don't just build a portal: you earn your way in, survive what you find in there, and face the bosses that rule it.

Getting in

• Find a Weathered Letter
• Meet the Dross Trader
• Forge the Rift Key.
• Light the portal.

Bosses

Each boss guards its own lair, and once beaten, it never comes back. Travel further out and you'll find more.

The Cinder Colossus: a hulking golem with two volcanoes on its back. It throws rocks, slams the ground, charges and rains lava. It cracks open as you fight it, until its molten core breaks free.

The Rat King: asleep on his hoard of gold at the end of the sewers. Wake him and he fights back with his staff, a rat army and plague clouds.

Trophies: every player who helps beat a boss gets a trophy. Right-click it to change its pose.

Necromancy

Two new enchantments, only from the Dross Trader and the Dross's netherite-clad monsters:

• Necromancy: your sword's hits can raise zombies and skeletons to fight for you, powered by the souls of the undead you slay.
• Deathforged: your risen undead come back armoured, with better gear at higher levels.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.20.1 with Forge.
• GeckoLib is required.
• Install it on both the client and the server.

Modpacks and permissions

• Modpacks are welcome. No need to ask, but please credit Reg21meme and link back here.
• Please don't modify the mod, re-upload it, or reuse its code, textures, models or sounds without asking me first.

This is a beta

This is the first public version, so you may run into bugs. If you do, please report them on the Issues page. More bosses and more of the Dross are on the way.
