World Bosses

🛠️ World Bosses 2.0.2 – Your feedback, fixed

Thank you for all the feedback on 2.0.0! This update fixes the Shadow Weaver, makes sure every fighter gets their advancement, calms down the storm spirits and adds a few settings you asked for. 💜

📖 Full documentation: World Bosses Wiki

🐛 Bug fixes

• 🕸️ Shadow Weaver no longer freezes. After his summoning he sometimes stayed frozen on the altar forever: he did not attack and could not be hurt. He now always wakes up and fights.
• 🕳️ Bosses no longer get stuck in the void. A boss that is pushed or falls into the void takes no damage there and is brought back to its shrine or altar.
• 🏆 Every fighter gets the advancement. Before, only melee hits counted, so archers or players who died during the fight often got nothing. Now every hit counts – bows, crossbows, tridents, spells and your pets – and everyone who fought the boss gets the advancement, even if they died or stood too far away when it fell. The list of fighters also survives a server restart.
• 🛡️ 3D armor no longer covers your screen in first person. Mods like Better Combat draw your own player in first person during attacks – the Worldbreaker and Shadowbreaker armor then appeared right in front of the camera. It is now hidden in that view (third person and the inventory are unchanged).
• 📚 Boss Codex corrected. The boss pages listed the boss shards as a direct drop, but they only come from rare, epic and legendary raid cache rewards. The Codex now says so and lists the real rewards (including Worldbreaker Dust). The End and Nether shrine hints (Morvath belongs to the Nether shrine), the Boss Codex recipe hint, the Primordial Keystone note and the realm boss rewards (Primordium, soul shards, Shadow Fragments) were corrected too.
• 🏷️ On NeoForge the mod list showed World Bosses as version 2.0.0. It now shows the right version.

🌩️ Storm spirits balanced

• Storm spirits are much rarer: they used to fill whole islands of the Celestial Heights (up to 50 at once!).
• Now only a few can haunt one area at the same time.
• 🌀 No storm spirits near a Worldbreaker portal – you can arrive in the realm safely.
• All three values can be changed in the config (realmSpawning).

🫐 New: Dried Gloomberries

• Gloomberries finally have a purpose: dry them in a furnace, smoker or on a campfire.
• Dried Gloomberries are 1.5× as filling as fresh ones.

⚙️ New settings

• recipes.shrineLocatorCompass – turn off the Shrine Locator Compass recipe. Existing compasses then stop working too.
• recipes.shrines – turn off the crafting recipes of the Overworld, Nether and End shrines, so only the shrines in the world can be used.
• codex.giveOnFirstJoin – choose whether new players get a Boss Codex when they join for the first time.
• Recipe changes take effect after /worldbosses reload and /reload (or a restart).

🤝 New: PartyLink support

• When PartyLink is installed, party members near a defeated boss share the rewards and the advancement – even if they never hit it.
• 📣 When a party member summons a boss, the party gets a message with the coordinates and a ping on the boss.
• 📕 The party HUD is hidden while the Boss Codex is open.
• Everything can be turned off in the config (partyLinkCompatibility). World Bosses still works without PartyLink.

🔧 Other changes

• The 26.3 versions now use the final releases of Fabric API, NeoForge, Forge and GeckoLib.
