Adds various boss mobs with special Items, customizable drops and abilities to the game!

In case you‘re having issues with the plugin please join our dedicated discord Server with the following link. https://discord.gg/stAd5ccDZT

ABANDONED AFTER 2.5.0 (should still work for all future minecraft versions up to any 2.* instead of the current 1.*.*)
I will be bringing out a better version of the plugin with different functionalities and better code, follow me in order to get a message whenever that happens.

I will fix a few bugs as reported, if you want more bosses I made a plugin called "Custom Creatures" in which you can add your own custom mobs and bosses!

Tested in 1.16.5, 1.17 and 1.18, somewhat tested in 1.19

In the discord I will upload versions of the plugin earlier than here, so people can test the version before I officially release it!
This helps me with testing the plugin for errors and bugs.

Languages:
- English (duh)
- German
- Chinese

You can edit a lot of things in the expansive config system.
Boss health, Boss damage, boss abilities, boss names, item abilities and details to name a few.

Description:

Naturally spawned mobs will have a chance to instead become a boss mob of that type, making exploration more dangerous and interesting due to the abilities these bosses have.
At the same time this plugin adds multiple new items which are supposed to enhance a players experience in PvP, PvE and exploration.
A list of both can be found below.

Boss Mobs:

- Blaze

- Upon being hit it has a chance of gaining Potion effects.
- It has a chance to teleport directly to the damaging player using an enderpearl.

Abilities:

- Wither

Spawn by putting a netherite block underneath the bottom soul sand when spawning a normal wither. This will consume the netherite block if the config setting for it is turned on.
Has more HP than a normal wither, will drop a Witheregg. To hatch this egg you have to place it on an anvil and not touch it until it hatches.
Careful about reloading the plugin during this timer, since it will break.

- Zombie

Usually Spawns along with a small horde of zombies, has iron armor and a chance to drop the Baseball Bat on death. Has a chance to apply blindness when hitting a player.

Gets tougher and stronger with each zombie around it up to a configurable limit.

- Zombified_Piglin

Has full Unbreaking 5 protection 3 gold armor on, can drop the Butchers Axe upon death. If you are hit by the Axe in the pigmans hands, the slowness effect can be applied to you.

Always agressive;
Can push and pull players or jump in the air when it is attacked, making it harder to hit and more dangerous around lava

Items:

- Baseball Bat

Has a chance to concuss Enemies giving them blindness for a few seconds.

- Blazer

Has a chance to set attackers on fire while worn. Type of chestplate can be edited in the config, so can the chance of combustion and the ticks the fire burns for.

- Butchers‘ Axe

If an entity is hit by this axe there is a chance of a slowness effect being applied to that entity. Also comes with good enchants.

- Heated Magma Cream (as of 1.6.0)

This Item sets every entity around the user on fire not including the user. In survival mode this item is consumed on use. Use by rightclicking.

There are 3 levels to this item, each with a different range and time it sets entities on fire for.

- Invisibility Cloak

This will give you infinite invisibility as long as you are wearing it.
Will lose durability in set intervals when worn.
The Cloak of invisibility will be dropped by the Enderman boss with a configurable chance.

- Skeletor

normal arrows: spawns primed TNT if an entity is hit
spectral arrows: no special effects
holding TNT in the Offhand: fires primed TNT instead of arrows

- Slime Boots

Reduces the amount of fall damage taken by 80%. The boots take damage depending on how much damage the player would have taken.

- Slingshot

Sneak rightclick while this is in your hand to be thrust in the direction you are currently looking. The Item will take damage on use unless disabled in the config file.
The Slingshot will be dropped by the Spider boss at a configurable rate.
After using this item Falldamage will be negated until there is an attempt to give the player falldamage or the Player has a block except air under their feet.
Expected bug with this item: Will in very rare cases not negate fall damage
Enable flying on your server for this item to work in survival mode.

- Wither Egg

Place on top of an anvil and don't touch it for a little time to spawn a pet wither, which you can rename using nametags.
