Wither Parry Reward
Land a well-timed Epic Fight parry against a Wither's skull-shooting attack and it takes counter damage right back. A plain guard/block does nothing extra — only a genuine parry triggers the reward.
Why this exists
Epic Fight's combat loop rewards precise parry timing against most enemies with a stagger or counter window, but the Wither's skulls are a projectile attack that just gets blocked like any other hit — there's no extra payoff for reading and parrying them specifically. This mod adds one: a successful parry sends a few points of damage straight back into the Wither that fired the skull.
Features
- Triggers on the Wither's skull-shooting attack specifically (both the black "decay" skull and the blue explosive one) — its other attacks (melee, etc.) are unaffected
- Only a true parry counts, not a plain guard/block — recognizes:
- Base Epic Fight's Parrying / Impact Guard skills
- EFN (Epic Fight Nightfall)'s Parrying skill
- WoM (Weapons of Miracles)'s Perfect Bulwark active-parry (charge) finisher
- Configurable reward damage (
rewardDamageinwither_parry_reward-common.toml, default 3, range 1-10) - Server-authoritative; safe in multiplayer
- EFN and WoM are both optional — neither is required for the mod to load or for base Epic Fight parries to work
Requirements
- Minecraft 1.20.1
- Minecraft Forge 47+
- Epic Fight (required dependency)
- Epic Fight Nightfall (optional — adds its own parry to the reward)
- Weapons of Miracles (optional — adds Perfect Bulwark's active parry to the reward)
