#Wither Overhaul & Configurability

Hi yall, I'd like to commission a small mod that allows configurability for the wither.

This mod should have a config file that allows you to change:

  • wither's movement speed
  • wither's health
  • wither's summoning explosion size and damage
  • wither's attack damage (skull damage)
  • the distance at which the wither keeps away from the player (x and y)
  • what potion effects the wither inflicts (level and duration), including the ability to add multiple effects or remove all effects, ie:
effect_id;level;duration
default: [minecraft:wither;1;10]

I'm open to adding other customization features if anyone has any ideas :) it's possible this could turn into a whole rework for the boss and the withering effect itself, since the wither desperately needs some love for 1.12. but for now i need these config options

I don't have an idea for how much this should cost so please reach out to me with an offer. I also don't have a ton of money for stuff like this atm so if anyone who would find this useful would like to pitch in, i would be grateful

I 3rd this, it'd be of great benefit to modpack devs everywhere... in 1.12.2, anyway

could toss in withers health as well

that would be neat

edited initial message to include health, summoning explosion size and damage

#

edited to include the distance at which the wither keeps away from the player (x and y)

#

ive found the wither is consistently like 4+ blocks above the player no matter what

#

which is annoying as fuck

I think what I enjoyed most about that new End Dimension boss fight was that the boss wasn't in your face the whole time, he would occasionally run at you, but he didn't feel... awkward to fight, like the Wither (when you can't hit it because he's doing a spinny dance above you), and it didn't basically ignore you like the Ender Dragon does.

yeah i would love if this turned out to be a whole rework mod

#

but 1 that might take awhile and 2 idk if any modders have the time for that

#

so id rather just start small with some config options if anyone is available

#

yup

winged quiver
#

Can someone send me the mod link?

neon creek
#

Doesn't exist yet

#

This is a commission

frosty token
#

seems like this is a popular idea lol

frosty token
#

Update: i can contribute about $50-75 as of right now if any modders are interested

if anyone else would also like to contribute, maybe we can pull together a decent amount for a total wither overhaul

#

would be nice if there was a whitelist/blacklist for mobs the wither is hostile to

frosty token
#

oh hm. UT is adding a feature to make the wither only attack players iirc

#

if not that could be in this mod

frosty token
#

am i allowed to bump posts lmao

#

cuz i cant release trepidations next update without this mod 😭 the wither is too damn overpowered

orchid shoal
#

Hmm, looks like the whole fight needs a rework... the whole "spinny dance" thing it does

#

If no one else wants this I'll bite, but only if no one else wants to take this

#

I would probably start with the basic stuff like the attributes so you can release your pack, then I wanna spice up the ai

frosty token
#

@copper arch has offered to take it up, not sure if they're interested in reworking the whole AI though

#

I dont need a whole rework but it would be nice

orchid shoal
#

It's all you then, I would only take this if no one else did

copper arch
#

Not interested in that, sorry :c
@orchid shoal take it if you're still interested in doing it c:

slava already started and uploaded the code to github, but there are quite a few bugs to iron out

Implementation using mixins is here: https://github.com/slava110/CustomizedWither
But I think it needs different approach. Instead of trying to fix vanilla wither it's much easier to create completely custom one.
But it's up to another developer

Burgy, if you or anyone is interested in continuing with that code or starting fresh, please let me know!

@orchid shoal sorry for the ping, are you still interested?

My $50 commission still stands, but if any modder thinks this mod is worth more please let me know!

I am available for a commission for wither customization, but not AI/behavior rework

frosty token
#

so does that include "the distance at which the wither keeps away from the player (x and y)"

#

and movement speed

#

But just the configuration of the values

#

I will do no tweaks to the AI even if high values causes problems

#

But I honestly doubt high values would cause issues

#

The wither just checks the distance between it and the player and change it's motion or not depending on the result

#

So changing the value should work

#

The most complex part of this would be:

what potion effects the wither inflicts (level and duration), including the ability to add multiple effects or remove all effects, ie:
Which seems not too hard to implement

frosty token
#

yeah my main reason for that is that every wither skull gives like 20 seconds of the wither effect

#

which is INSANE

#

considering the wither shoots like 5 every second

#

so i want that configurable, i figured id add other potions effects too

frosty token
#

oh yes please!

near mortar
#

But yeah if you want me to add configuration just go through my Buy Me a Coffee commission page I can start working on it Monday and it should be finished fairly quick

Slick

#

#
