Adding Bosses to Your Own Structures

Note: Mod needs to be disabled while building your structures
Save your structure with the option “Include Entities” enabled

when building your structure, use the specific command to summon a marker at the desired spawn point of the boss:

Soul of Cinder:
/summon marker ~ ~ ~ {Tags:["soc_arena_center","uninitialized"]}

directly beneath the spawn marker, a fire burning on netherrack must be placed

Abyss Watchers:
/summon marker ~ ~ ~ {Tags:["aw_arena_center","uninitialized"]} 

you can summon multiple markers around the spawn, where Abyss Watchers randomly spawn in the 1st phase:
/summon marker ~ ~ ~ {Tags:["aw_spawn1"]} 

Nightlord:
/summon marker ~ ~20 ~ {Tags:["nightlord_spawn","uninitialized"]}

Lothric Boss

The Lothric boss works a bit differently because he relies on several marker entities to function properly. You can spawn those manually when building a boss arena with:

/function souls_like_bosses:bosses/internal_setting/

Marker Types

• Spawn Point Marker
  Defines where the boss will initially appear.

• Teleport Markers
  These define locations where Lothric can randomly teleport during the fight for some of his attacks.

• Detection Marker
  Checks every few seconds whether a player is within 10 blocks. If so, the boss battle is triggered.

• Cutscene Marker
  This is the location where Lothric teleports before his final phase.
  During the cutscene, his hitbox floats 10 blocks below him, so the area beneath must be empty to prevent him from taking damage.

Arena Setup for Spinning Attack

For Lothric’s spinning attack, the arena floor must be flat and covered with light blocks. These are used for collision detection.
He bounces off walls by detecting the boundary of these light blocks, meaning he can only move within the area they define.

This can be done easily with WorldEdit:

1. Select an area using //pos1 and //pos2
2. Replace all air blocks with light blocks: //replace air light[level=0]
