Getting Started

When you first start your server, the plugin automatically creates the following directory:

Files

• config.yml — Global plugin settings, arena rules, and loot settings.
• bosses/ — Stores all boss configuration files.

Create a Boss

1. Copy an existing boss file.
2. Rename it (e.g. my_boss.yml).
3. Edit the configuration.
4. Reload the plugin:

/zoryth reload

Boss Mechanics

Phases

Bosses become stronger as their health decreases.

Each phase can modify:

• Movement speed
• Attack damage
• Particle effects
• AI behavior
• Available abilities

---

Abilities

Every ability has its own cooldown and optional phase restrictions.

Available Abilities

• dash — Dash toward the target.
• leap — Jump high and slam the ground.
• fireball — Launch explosive fireballs.
• meteor_shower — Rain meteors from the sky.
• black_hole — Pull nearby players inward.
• ice_prison — Trap players inside packed ice.
• earthquake — Shake and damage nearby players.
• ground_slam — Massive area attack with knockback.
• life_steal — Damage enemies while healing the boss.
• clone — Summon weaker copies of the boss.

---

🏟️ Arenas

Enable an invisible combat arena for boss fights.

Setup

arena-enabled: true
leash-distance: 50.0

• arena-enabled enables the arena.
• leash-distance sets the arena radius.

Combat

• Arena activates when combat starts.
• Players cannot leave the arena.
• Crossing the border pulls players back.
• Ender Pearls and Chorus Fruit can be blocked.
• If all players die or disconnect, the boss despawns and the arena resets.

---

🛡️ How It Works

Once combat begins:

• The arena is automatically created when the boss attacks a player or a player attacks the boss.
• The boss's current location becomes the center of the arena.
• Players inside the arena are locked into the encounter.
• Players cannot escape by running away. Crossing the arena boundary will instantly pull them back toward the boss.
• Ender Pearls and Chorus Fruit teleportation are automatically blocked while inside the arena (configurable in config.yml).
• If every locked player dies or disconnects, the boss despawns automatically and the arena is removed.
• The arena is fully reset, allowing the boss encounter to start fresh the next time it spawns.

---

💰 Loot

Loot is based on player contribution.

SHARED

Only the highest damage dealer receives loot.

PER_PLAYER

Every eligible player receives their own loot roll.

---

🌍 Auto Spawn

Bosses can automatically spawn in the world.

Features include:

• Fixed world coordinates
• Configurable respawn timers
• Persistent cooldowns after server restarts
