FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I've watched the video about mineсraft and seen as the player who shot the video won Ender Dragon. Maybe we can create a mod on bosses??

Take a look at existing mobs. Maybe setting size and health to a greater values would do for you.
MESE monster would be cool as a boss.
2x2x2 cubes with a tail of 2 mese blocks and spikes of spinning mese crystals. One should be able to cut those crystals w/o defeating the mob itself.

good idea!

maybye we could change it so dungeon masters are bosses

Those by Zeg9 are cute :-) They make very good monsters and fit well into Minetest. You don't want to kill them, even though they're aggressive and shoot mese fragments at you. Same with the lava blobs.

Huge mobs usually require far more intelligent movement algorithms than small ones. A rat may well just jump around randomly. A huge, multi-block large creature just *can't* turn instantly on the spot.

Anyone who wants to fight mobs as the main form of entertainment is probably better off with Minecraft.

If you are modifying Simple Mobs, very large mobs may not be able to attack people due to their large bounding box. On top of that, they will have trouble moving around tight spaces.

I suggest making a fairly large mob (3 to 5 nodes tall), which moves quickly, does a lot of damage, has a lot of health and can only be attacked with some weapons (tweak the damage groups).

Perhaps you could make a Very hard to defeat boss, and then you could create the boss a tower that spawns in certain places (like the pyramid mod) and after a long trek though the tower you could fight the boss (who only spawns in the top of his tower in a special room which he does not leave).

u may create a boss mod by modifying a mobs mod by sizing up mobs retexturing mobs and giving mobs crazy count of health to mobs that but u cant know will u do it first (;

I have added a few mine bosses in QuestTest (actually, updating it to include them now), and there will be MANY more to come. There are also bosses in Lord of the Test modpack. (Nazgul, Witch King, and Balrog)
