\u2728 GuardianOfNether<\/h1>\n

A fully configurable Nether Guardian boss with 3 phases, custom armor drop, and Nether access control.<\/h3>\n

—<\/p>\n

\ud83e\udde0 Concept<\/h2>\n

The **Guardian of the Nether** is a powerful boss that guards access to the Nether.
\nPlayers must defeat it to unlock the Nether portal. Upon death, it drops the **Chestplate of Guardian** \u2014 a cursed armor piece with unique powers that cannot be removed or stored.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

\u2694\ufe0f Features<\/h2>\n

– **3 configurable phases** \u2014 speed, size, armor, damage and regeneration increase with each phase
\n– **Leash system** \u2014 the boss stays within a configurable radius around its spawn point
\n– **Minion waves** \u2014 wither skeleton minions spawn at the start and at regular intervals
\n– **Nether lock** \u2014 the Nether is inaccessible until the boss is defeated *(configurable)*
\n– **Chestplate of Guardian** \u2014 dropped on death with:
\n – Custom red armor trim
\n – Curse of Vanishing *(disappears if the wearer dies)*
\n – Permanent **Glowing** effect when worn
\n – Cannot be removed from the armor slot
\n – Cannot be stored in any container *(chest, ender chest, shulker box…)*
\n– **Fully configurable** \u2014 phases, stats, drops, messages, all in `config.yml`
\n– **StackMob support** \u2014 optional soft-depend to prevent boss\/minion stacking
\n– **Auto update checker** \u2014 notifies OPs on join if a new version is available<\/p>\n
