NOTE

THE WITHER CURRENTLY IS INCREDIBLY DESTRUCTIVE !

You can disable block breaking in the config.

Overview

This mod is heavily intended to be used with Epic Fight. While I believe it's beatable in vanilla, it was not designed to be for vanilla.

It has been tested with epic fight with dodge and parry skills, but I have no reason to believe this wouldnt play well with bettercombat and combatroll.

Currently, the wither has been tested with Netherite Prot 4 armor, and is intended for this realm of gear. Prot 4 Netherite armor still ensures an extremely difficult fight.

So to reiterate: Recommended mods are the following (but not all of them at the same time)

Epic Fight
Combat Roll
Parcool
Better Combat

The Wither

The mod aims to revamp the wither completely in order to make it more engaging, and melee-oriented.

Added attacks:

Uppercut - A quick uppercut attack that flings the player into the sky.
Tackle - A quick tackle that can be blocked with a shield/parry to stun the wither.
Sweep - A quick horizontal sweep.
Charge - A long windup with particles to telegraph the power. Instantly kills players but has a massive tell.
Slam - The wither ascends and upon reaching the apex falls down and slams the player.
Hover and Attack - The default flying and shooting pattern, reminiscient of the vanilla wither
Strafe - A quick strafe along with a ton of projectiles shot in a row.
Sky Turret - The wither ascends high in the sky and shoots fast moving projectiles
Shotgun (Phase 2 exclusive) - A deadly dense blast barrage that is capable of killing the player in 1 shot.

These attacks all have phase 2 variants as well. So they become more intense as the fight progresses!

How to defeat the wither :

Some attacks give ample opportunity to approach and hit the player.

After slam - the wither will enter a dizzy state where it can be attacked.

After blocking tackle - the wither gets stunned and you can attack.

All variables for attacks can be tweaked in the config.

Config:

In config-> tkvm_wither-common.toml

If the wither needs to be nerfed / buffed :

Use the EZ global modifier for damage output.

#Global multiplier for all Wither damage output
#Range: 0.0 ~ 100.0
globalDamageMultiplier = 1.0

For block breaking :

#Master toggle for Wither Skulls. If false, projectiles NEVER break blocks.
skullsBreakBlocks = true
chargeBreaksBlocks = true
crescentSweepBreaksBlocks = true
deathSequenceBreaksBlocks = true

shotgunBreaksBlocks = true
skyTurretBreaksBlocks = true
slamBreaksBlocks = true
strafeBreaksBlocks = true

Incompatabilities:

Immensely incompatible with wither reincarnated.

I mean, it'll run, it won't crash, but it just completely breaks. Don't try to use it with this mod.
