This datapack is now available for early access on my Patreon and will come out for everyone else sometime in the future! ☺ www.patreon.com/McMakistein If you wanna see if my friends can actually defeat this insane boss, make sure to watch their videos about it! All channels are linked in the description! 🥳
You having worked on this for years is even more impressive given that it's for *Minecraft 1.21,* meaning _every time_ Mojang released a datapack update (which was, like, every week), you potentially had to redo large aspects of your implementation.
Oh yeah that was a huge pain having to maintain it over multiple minecraft version! And the tool I used for the animations was in Beta when I started working on this and still used armorstands because display entities weren't even added to the game yet, so I also had to re-implement all of the animated mobs a couple of times :')
I REALLY don't like when coders say that it's compeletly vanilla while using Plugins which only work on MODDED Servers, so when I saw this I thought this would be one of those. But this is amazing! Great Work. Making this to be actually vanilla is unbelievable. It really shows how much is possible with datapacks and ressource packs.
@@shirothefish9688vanilla Minecraft is considered to have some leeway, as things like resource/texture packs are usually still considered vanilla, it’s only when you install something that requires a specific launcher to work, and in which affects the direct gameplay is it no longer fundamentally vanilla. Data packs don’t require a client or mod launcher, it just needs to be installed in the server. Same with command blocks, but those are more in-game.
@@shirothefish9688 no that's precisely what vanilla means- without mods and/or plugins. datapacks, resourcepacks, texture packs & shaders ARE considered vanilla minecraft. You saying it doesn't count as vanilla makes it your opinion (a random definition you just made up) not a fact.
@@livinginsidegemses I never said what i wrote was a fact. I was simply how the term is understood to those not involved within that modding culture. With most games, a mod is a mod, and there isn't all the fanciness with differencials in texture packs and resource packs. if it changes the game, it's installed as a mod. Please don't get antagonistic where it is undeserved and unnecessary.
@@shirothefish9688 Yes, a mod is something that changes the GAME'S CODE or ADDS NEW CODE. Datapacks do not modify minecraft's code, they are essentially just minecraft commands. Everything you do using datapacks is possible using ingame command blocks. So it is a FEATURE of the game itself and NOT a mod.
Wow this is insane! I love the dragon mechanics , honestly I wouldn't mind if they added some of them in vanilla. Also I never realized that you can get such detailed models with only display entities and texture packs wow!
As a software engineer in several languages, I'm still in awe of what people do within the constraints of data packs and command blocks. It's such a crazy sight to see. The dragon work is absolutely incredible. What a clever way to do the lightning effect too. Keep up the amazing work.
It's kinda like making a parkour map. I personally can't do 4 block jumps. But I know someone better than me can, so I can put them in a parkour map. Mojang makes the game but, judging by that one short, they can't stick a water bucket clutch. It's 2 different skillsets.
6:13 'nerd yapping' I would love to hear the entire explanation Are you planning to make a more in-depth video explaining more behind the scenes? Absolutely fantastic work, will definitely try it out when it releases

I'm curious what (if anything) you have done with silverfish. They could easily be the final "hurdle" to clear before reaching the End. A few ideas to pick and choose from: - Breaking the silverfish spawner destroys the End portal frame - (or it just can't be broken) - (or breaking it summons the "queen silverfish", secret jump-scare boss) - Silverfish fly and move twice as fast. - Significantly increase the amount of infested stone in the stronghold - New status effect: "Infested". Small chance of getting infested by a silverfish attack. If you die while infested, several silverfish spawn where you died. The only way to end the "infested" status effect is by getting poisoned (thus killing the silverfish "larva" inside you). Silverfish rarely get much attention as is. So it would be diabolical to turn them into this plague-style "no, you aren't reaching the End just yet" challenge.
5:22 That attention to detail absolutely astonishes me! The fact that time was put in to such small things like that show the passion behind the work and the overall quality!
Hey man! An avid viewer of the Impossible Minecraft series here. I thought of a cool feature you could add if you wanted to. What if when you run with shears, it damages you? Similar to how if you run with scissors, its very dangerous! Not a big addition, but hey, every bit counts to annoy the members of the series 😂
This is fantastically evil, Ive watched a couple perspectives so far and its really fun to see the pros struggle bus so hard. Really looking forward to the datapack release, just to experience the insanity myself. Ok now that Im half way through the video... amazing! So much work, so many neat ideas, this is absolute crazy madness - I raise my glass in salute!
These mechanics of having to find out the unique moves of the dragon and where it and the parts of the landscape have weak points really reminds me of monster hunter-esque mechanics. I love it :D
For the boss fight, maybe have a few of the tail crystals already placed and laying around on the island. It'd show that it's not just part of the dragon but also a block you can place, and players would easily find out what it does by fighting around them. For that to work though, their lightning rod/protection ability should have a limited range, so they only attract lightning and get destroyed when a player is nearby.
Hey Makistein 16:00, a cool solution for the dragon instructions could be making the Book spawn 100% at stronghold's libraries, thus encouraging players to explore them for knowledge
That is so cool how you made all the components at 2:48 assemble together. Also, if all the custom models require a specially created resource pack, doesn’t that mean you have to overwrite already existing textures somewhere in the game, visually affecting regular gameplay in unexpected ways?
There is a feature in resource- and datapacks called "custom-model-data" which lets you assign new models to already existing items without having to overwrite anything! So all of the original textures are completely untouched :)
Absolute insanity! The attention to detail is really staggering, I couldn't believe it when you mentioned the heads adjusting to the ground. Thank you so much for making this
The attention to detail is astounding! I was sold on the datapack as soon as I saw the ultimate form of the crafting table! The process of making this all work is incredible, thank you for sharing it with us!
The lightning stuff and dragon animations are hella impressive, when is mojang going to hire you? 😂 Edit: I just got into the attacks section. For real man, mojang needs to hire you to work on the end update, this is incredible!!
I’ve been watching the hermits play Impossible Minecraft and I wanted to stay how fun it has been to watch them struggle. I see you have been updating the mod as they play always keeping them on their toes. I had an idea I’d like to share about torches, have you considered having torch flames run out over time? It never made sense to me in normal Minecraft how torches last forever. It would really change the dynamic of the game, even caving, if you had to deal with placing new torches or reigniting old ones. It would add extra complexity having players run around with coal in their inventory to reignite torches around their base, or when caving for a long time get lost because their way home is no longer lit. If coal is too expensive, then flint and steel? You could still have glowstone or front lights as infinite sources of light. Just a thought that I had while watching these guys play, really funny to watch regardless!
Dude! I didn't even know you were back making videos, but it genuinely brings a smile to my face seeing you doing this pack and seeing you and Grian collab again after all these years. This rocks!
Perhaps you could add murals next to the end portal visually showing some of the mechanics? Or otherwise add some intro animation like the dragon sheds its tail end for a new one and ends up hitting it on accident or something. You could also add a visual indicator for where the dragon is going to slam its tail to make it a little less of a guessing game.
I have a suggestion for spiders. I love the redesign, but they aren't creepy enough to really inflict horror. I remember when I was a little squirt I killed a spider and all its babies came swarming out. I was like 8, and it freaked me out so much I still remember it at 35. My suggestion is to make it so when someone kills a spider, like 10-20 silverfish sized spiders spawn and attack you. I think it'd be delightful to see the hermits flip a gasket when they're neck deep in baby spiders.
9:09 i think this should just be changed to a bunch of durability damage that drops it down to say a quarter so you wont lose an important item instantly when going in blind
I would love to see just the dragon as its own released datapack. Making a really cool and new type of dragon fight/ The overall datapack makes everything so hard which is a blast, but if we got the dragon by itself, it would still be a great challenge even for normal vanilla gameplay. Either way, amazing job and so glad to see all your new creations again, and can't wait for the next ones!
this is so insanely cool. massive props to you! its really interesting to see the process behind this and i cannot wait to see how the hermits handle your maniacal genius
I think the lava moster should be nerfed in some way, because otherwise it will just slowly consume entire worlds. Maybe make it so that the individual waves only spawn new magma, but no new lava. So that it still spreads, but only to a certain size.
This is some admirable work, the dragon's heads landing where you expect them to definitely adds a lot to the experience. Coupled with the flight patterns and new animations, you can't help but wish for the same level of detail in the regular game. Also, I really wish Mojang added official mod support built into the main version of Minecraft that is known for it's modding scene. Like how Bethesda made modding their games easy with the Creation Kit, or Larian with their own application.
Data packs is literally minecrafts officially supported way to create mods. The game client might be vanilla but the game mode is using mods aka data packs.
You should consider adding a new weapon that incorporates the lightning rod to counter the dragon's lightning attack (or just simply holding the lightning rod). For example, if you're holding the lightning rod when the dragon strikes with lightning, the rod could absorb and charge with electricity. Once charged, it could have two uses: a powerful melee attack that deals significant damage and potentially stuns the dragon, or a ranged option where you throw the charged lightning back at the dragon, effectively parrying its attack. This could add an exciting and strategic dynamic to the gameplay.
9:23 It's really interesting that despite this being just an INSANE pack, you still made sure to make it *fair* That's actually suprisingly rare nowadays and I really appreciate you putting in counter-measured for your insanity-filled creations (*^^*)
I said I’d go to sleep after watching Grian’s video, but then he mentioned that you made a video about making the datapack, so I had to watch it. I have never before wanted so much to play Java, and to try get back into coding. This is incredible. Also, a lot of people want an end update, but personally, I love that the end is one isolated part of Minecraft which has stayed the same since the very beginning. That being said, I wouldn’t be opposed to a better dragon fight. I don’t want it to just be made harder, but I want it to be made more interesting and enjoyable, and more difficult to cheese, and give a better reward. I think you have achieved all of these things beautifully. You have just earned yourself a subscriber, and probably many more in the days to come
I was always thinking about how the ender dragon fight was easy in that stage of the game, and this approach of the end game fight is in my humble opinion, the way it should go, fun, challenging and exciting. Hope it makes a new experience, and sticks to old players that know everything there is to know about the game. Speed running anybody???
I love how for a meme datapack you put so much real game design thought into the drsgon fight. Also essentially implementing inverse kinematics just so its head sit on the ground properly is amazing tlattention tk detail.
I was watching Grian's videos, and I came to the channel hoping to find your POV of playing on the server, do you think you could maybe film and make those videos? I think they'd be really interesting.
I'm not actively playing on the server, I'm more just stalking them to see what features to add next :P Might do another behind-the-scenes video showing off all the new features though if you'd be interested in that :D
Yikes! Really good work. I love all of the attention to detail you put into this, and all of the unique animations with the Ender Dragon. The fight itself seems so much more unique too. Should be memorable if Grian and crew can manage to get to that point. I hope you gain a lot more subscribers from this.
Okay, I'm in awe. I really don't have much else to say. The modeling on all the new blocks and entities is really good, and that's a crazy cool boss fight. And you've even _documented_ it. DUDE.
The dragon and end redesigns are gorgeous. It's amazing how much technical things happen behind the screen to make this datapack come to life. I like how the overall game has a rewarding learning curve. It's a well-balanced challenge.
I think a good solution to the guide book for the Crystalspine fight would be to put it in some kind of new structure (or mob) that can be found in the stronghold (and also make it almost impossible to miss). It would reward exploration of the stronghold and could also add a little bit of lore for Crystalspine. This is an amazing project and I can't wait to play it. I've always thought that a minecraft mode that makes simple, normally mundane tasks more challenging and engaging would be really cool, and from what I've seen in Grian's video, this is really close to that.
Have the info book be an item that is in chests in the stronghold!! Then they can find it, read it and afterwards go to the end! Doesn't the stronghold have like a library room? It can be an item there
This is insane! Is there any chance the bossfight could also become a standalone datapack please? Amazing work, creative ideas, awesome design. I'm stunned
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed! And absolutely! Already posted a standalone datapack of it on my Patreon! (Will come out for free soon, so no need to pay for it though)

That lightning is SICK! I would legitimately be interested in hearing more of the 'nerd yapping' technical details you skipped over haha, my eyes burst a little bit when I saw the 5-digit line numbers @ 6:11
Here's an idea: If you hurt a horse, it should actually turn around and buck you, sending you flying a short ways with knockback. This should also hurt. While taming horses, when you get bucked off, you should also get flung off the horse's back and have to chase after the horse. You could make horse taming more dangerous and exiting.
Loving the hermit’s suffering on this mod. Some Ideas. All flowers and crops have thorns like berry bushes. Eyes of Ender shoot beams at the players after being thrown. Hoglins can jump. Ended portals attract Ghasts into the overworld if left active for to long. Drowned can spawn with a shark and throw it.
5:22 Not even AAA games that take years to develop like ER do this, massive kudos to you my guy. If I got a cent for everytime I've been unable to do a riposte in FromSoft games because the dragon's head clips through a wall or a rock, I'd be swimming in money rn
I love watching these behind the scenes video's! I'm a "Hermits and friends" fan and found this video through them playing. There was so much thought and detail put into this, that I really respect the end product even more! I cannot wait for the Hermits and friends to explore all of the madness in this difficulty! ❤ Extremely well done!
I genuinely want this dragon fight to be in the game. It looks incredible, actually fleshed out compared to the original one, and kind of fits in the current vision of the game?? You worked some incredible magic. The crystal tail is probably my favorite, because you were able to implement placing blocks into the design of the bossfight in a way that isn't unintentional cheese. If the item destruction mechanic wasn't in there for the sake of fitting in the impossible Minecraft datapack, you could probably have a way to lock the item slot for a duration, or force an extended cooldown like shield guardbreak. Maybe the item floats in the air in a bubble, so you need to build up to it.
I had fun watching the mayhem of the first episode of Grian and co. But I'm most excited for them to start sciencing out all the tricks and work arounds and making projects. I hope they have less panic and more intentionality in their next episode because i absolutely want to see them get to this awesome boss fight. Incredible work, man. Youve made something to be really proud of and I love its getting attention through Grian's group's channels.
Alright I watched the first episode on some of the large youtubers channels and thought it was cool, funny, creative... all that stuff. Like when you look at a nice painting and your like oh thats a cool painting. Then I watch this and realize he did the equivalent of painting that nice picture with the brush in his mouth. Crazy way to tackle that project and I think a lot of knowledge can be gained from this pursuit, Thank you.
I really enjoyed watching some of the first episodes of the Impossible Minecraft series, and then coming here it was super fascinating to see some of your process and the problem solving that went into developing this datapack. It’s very cool and I’m excited to see more of it :D
A funny and annoying addition would be torches that now set you on fire if you stand on them Edit: I just watched Jimmy's video he stood on torches like 500 times lmao
This is just amazing and first episode of the RUclipsrs was so fun to watch, cant wait for more :) Great work, mate. Its always nice to see an austrian touch on things ^^
I LOVE THE NEW DRAGON MECHANIC! It feels very vanilla actually, it's perfect! Now that's how the dragon bossfight should be in the game! Also I respect you for such hard work you put into this. I find it very impressive that you managed to keep it working even with mojang constantly updating the datapack mechanics, and you even used the new mechanics. That's gotta be a lot of reworking! Also very impressive that it's all in vanilla minecraft as a datapack and without any plugins or mods. This is very cool!
Watched scars episode and was laughing my butt off! I couldn't play this but am loving watching them play, all the deaths are hilarious!! Very entertaining.
I came here from Grian's Impossible Minecraft video and find myself very impressed. It would be interesting enough if it was a mod but to code it purely with commands! You are a mad genius. Thank you for the effort you have put in. Sure I'll probably never play it but watching the hermits suffer is amusing.

Absolute insanity! The attention to detail is really staggering, I couldn't believe it when you mentioned the heads adjusting to the ground.
Thank you so much for making this
Thank you for testing with me! Was extremely helpful in making the datapack what it is today! :D
The attention to detail is astounding! I was sold on the datapack as soon as I saw the ultimate form of the crafting table! The process of making this all work is incredible, thank you for sharing it with us!
It's not a mod, it's a datapack, this is 100% unmoded Minecraft
@@UnQuacker Thank you for the correction!
The lightning stuff and dragon animations are hella impressive, when is mojang going to hire you? 😂
Edit: I just got into the attacks section. For real man, mojang needs to hire you to work on the end update, this is incredible!!
I’ve been watching the hermits play Impossible Minecraft and I wanted to stay how fun it has been to watch them struggle. I see you have been updating the mod as they play always keeping them on their toes. I had an idea I’d like to share about torches, have you considered having torch flames run out over time? It never made sense to me in normal Minecraft how torches last forever. It would really change the dynamic of the game, even caving, if you had to deal with placing new torches or reigniting old ones. It would add extra complexity having players run around with coal in their inventory to reignite torches around their base, or when caving for a long time get lost because their way home is no longer lit. If coal is too expensive, then flint and steel? You could still have glowstone or front lights as infinite sources of light. Just a thought that I had while watching these guys play, really funny to watch regardless!
Reminds me when you made the Hydra around 10 years ago. Good times.
This is SUCH a cool data pack! Every single small step you make is essentially another puzzle you have to solve, and I love that!
you took the ender dragon fight and turned him into a raid boss. fantastic.
Gonna save this until Grian's Impossible Minecraft series is over to avoid spoilers, but here's a like and comment for the algorithm
Dude! I didn't even know you were back making videos, but it genuinely brings a smile to my face seeing you doing this pack and seeing you and Grian collab again after all these years. This rocks!
Perhaps you could add murals next to the end portal visually showing some of the mechanics? Or otherwise add some intro animation like the dragon sheds its tail end for a new one and ends up hitting it on accident or something. You could also add a visual indicator for where the dragon is going to slam its tail to make it a little less of a guessing game.
no way you got in contact with the hermits!
Life series, jimmy isn’t a hermit… 😂😂😂 but yeah same thing pretty much
@@It-b-BlairJimmy is just an honorary hermit at this point
@it-b-Blair Jimmy is just a non official hermit at this point
Bro he's Grian's friend
This is so amazing. Keep up the amazing work!
This is insane. That dragon fight has serious MMO vibes, and I mean that in the best way! seriously cool, seriously impressive.
I have a suggestion for spiders. I love the redesign, but they aren't creepy enough to really inflict horror. I remember when I was a little squirt I killed a spider and all its babies came swarming out. I was like 8, and it freaked me out so much I still remember it at 35. My suggestion is to make it so when someone kills a spider, like 10-20 silverfish sized spiders spawn and attack you. I think it'd be delightful to see the hermits flip a gasket when they're neck deep in baby spiders.
9:09 i think this should just be changed to a bunch of durability damage that drops it down to say a quarter so you wont lose an important item instantly when going in blind
What if when you broke an end crystal, then it becomes "toxic" around a large area of it for the rest of the fight? So it us more natural
The safety barrier around the button was definitely necessary when u think of what scar and grian are like
It would be really interesting to see someone speedrun this version of Minecraft.
I would love to see just the dragon as its own released datapack. Making a really cool and new type of dragon fight/ The overall datapack makes everything so hard which is a blast, but if we got the dragon by itself, it would still be a great challenge even for normal vanilla gameplay. Either way, amazing job and so glad to see all your new creations again, and can't wait for the next ones!
this is so insanely cool. massive props to you! its really interesting to see the process behind this and i cannot wait to see how the hermits handle your maniacal genius
I think the lava moster should be nerfed in some way, because otherwise it will just slowly consume entire worlds. Maybe make it so that the individual waves only spawn new magma, but no new lava. So that it still spreads, but only to a certain size.
You are INSANE in the absolutely best way possible! I'm having a blast watching all the videos and dying laughing at the many random ways to die XD
Thank you so much! Warms my heart that you're having a great time with the series! 😊
Man, this is genuinely amazing. So much depth, and thought went into this. GG Mak.
This is some admirable work, the dragon's heads landing where you expect them to definitely adds a lot to the experience. Coupled with the flight patterns and new animations, you can't help but wish for the same level of detail in the regular game. Also, I really wish Mojang added official mod support built into the main version of Minecraft that is known for it's modding scene. Like how Bethesda made modding their games easy with the Creation Kit, or Larian with their own application.
Data packs is literally minecrafts officially supported way to create mods. The game client might be vanilla but the game mode is using mods aka data packs.
You should consider adding a new weapon that incorporates the lightning rod to counter the dragon's lightning attack (or just simply holding the lightning rod). For example, if you're holding the lightning rod when the dragon strikes with lightning, the rod could absorb and charge with electricity. Once charged, it could have two uses: a powerful melee attack that deals significant damage and potentially stuns the dragon, or a ranged option where you throw the charged lightning back at the dragon, effectively parrying its attack. This could add an exciting and strategic dynamic to the gameplay.
that's a brilliant idea!
9:23 It's really interesting that despite this being just an INSANE pack, you still made sure to make it *fair*
That's actually suprisingly rare nowadays and I really appreciate you putting in counter-measured for your insanity-filled creations (*^^*)
I said I’d go to sleep after watching Grian’s video, but then he mentioned that you made a video about making the datapack, so I had to watch it. I have never before wanted so much to play Java, and to try get back into coding. This is incredible.
Also, a lot of people want an end update, but personally, I love that the end is one isolated part of Minecraft which has stayed the same since the very beginning. That being said, I wouldn’t be opposed to a better dragon fight. I don’t want it to just be made harder, but I want it to be made more interesting and enjoyable, and more difficult to cheese, and give a better reward. I think you have achieved all of these things beautifully. You have just earned yourself a subscriber, and probably many more in the days to come
I was always thinking about how the ender dragon fight was easy in that stage of the game, and this approach of the end game fight is in my humble opinion, the way it should go, fun, challenging and exciting. Hope it makes a new experience, and sticks to old players that know everything there is to know about the game. Speed running anybody???
I love how for a meme datapack you put so much real game design thought into the drsgon fight. Also essentially implementing inverse kinematics just so its head sit on the ground properly is amazing tlattention tk detail.
Y’Know what would be a nice final touch on the dragon? Boss music!
I was watching Grian's videos, and I came to the channel hoping to find your POV of playing on the server, do you think you could maybe film and make those videos? I think they'd be really interesting.
I'm not actively playing on the server, I'm more just stalking them to see what features to add next :P
Might do another behind-the-scenes video showing off all the new features though if you'd be interested in that :D
Yikes! Really good work. I love all of the attention to detail you put into this, and all of the unique animations with the Ender Dragon. The fight itself seems so much more unique too. Should be memorable if Grian and crew can manage to get to that point. I hope you gain a lot more subscribers from this.
This looks so good!
Okay, I'm in awe. I really don't have much else to say. The modeling on all the new blocks and entities is really good, and that's a crazy cool boss fight.
And you've even _documented_ it. DUDE.
Hey McMakistein i have a suggestion(for Grian's series)...everytime Grian click a button it explode him and people around. Thanks!❤
I feel like regular spiders should be more difficult too as they don't do nothing atm. Apart from that, really cool pack :D
you should make the blade on the stonecutter actually hurt when you stand on top of it 😮
The dragon and end redesigns are gorgeous. It's amazing how much technical things happen behind the screen to make this datapack come to life. I like how the overall game has a rewarding learning curve. It's a well-balanced challenge.
yooo this is soo good dude, you must have put a lot of effort into this mood, keep it up
I think a good solution to the guide book for the Crystalspine fight would be to put it in some kind of new structure (or mob) that can be found in the stronghold (and also make it almost impossible to miss). It would reward exploration of the stronghold and could also add a little bit of lore for Crystalspine.
This is an amazing project and I can't wait to play it. I've always thought that a minecraft mode that makes simple, normally mundane tasks more challenging and engaging would be really cool, and from what I've seen in Grian's video, this is really close to that.
And here I am, played Minecraft for 11 years and never beaten the normal Ender Dragon once. Your coding skills are insane.
Have the info book be an item that is in chests in the stronghold!! Then they can find it, read it and afterwards go to the end! Doesn't the stronghold have like a library room? It can be an item there
This is insane! Is there any chance the bossfight could also become a standalone datapack please?
Amazing work, creative ideas, awesome design. I'm stunned
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed! And absolutely! Already posted a standalone datapack of it on my Patreon! (Will come out for free soon, so no need to pay for it though)
Possible suggestions for mobs:
Witch
-All potion effects are amplified (Danger)
-Witches are immune to negative effects thrown on themselves (Danger)
-Witches can passively drink potions that grant teleportation, which is increased for every non-collisionless block around the witch’s head. (Anti-cheese)
-After falling three blocks, the witch will begin to drink a slow falling potion (Anti-cheese)
-Witches have slightly increased health (Danger)
-Potions have increased speed (Danger)
Enderman
-Players will teleport to an enderman after damaging it (Anti-cheese, Danger)
-Players within a short radius around the enderman cannot switch inventory slots without dropping or using their item (Danger)
-Increased teleportation rate for environmental damage (Anti-cheese)
-Increased health (Danger)
-Cannot take more than 1/6 of maximum health (Anti-cheese)
-Does not enter boats (Anti-cheese)
Piglins
-Do not barter enderpearls
-Crossbow piglins have handguns that deal increased and immediate damage to players within line of sight (Danger)
Spiders
-Spiders that can’t pathfind to the player or aggressive spiders that haven’t moved will phase through blocks or float vertically (Anti-cheese)
-Increased damage (Danger)
-Killed spiders will spawn baby spiders that avoid players and become grown spiders, but they can’t spawn baby spiders when killed (Danger)
That lightning is SICK!
I would legitimately be interested in hearing more of the 'nerd yapping' technical details you skipped over haha, my eyes burst a little bit when I saw the 5-digit line numbers @ 6:11
Great the only, actually good Ender dragon rework that can't be used in modpacks, gotta love this
Here's an idea: If you hurt a horse, it should actually turn around and buck you, sending you flying a short ways with knockback. This should also hurt.
While taming horses, when you get bucked off, you should also get flung off the horse's back and have to chase after the horse. You could make horse taming more dangerous and exiting.
oh the hermits have no idea whats coming lol
Loving the hermit’s suffering on this mod.
Some Ideas. All flowers and crops have thorns like berry bushes.
Eyes of Ender shoot beams at the players after being thrown.
Hoglins can jump.
Ended portals attract Ghasts into the overworld if left active for to long.
Drowned can spawn with a shark and throw it.
5:22 Not even AAA games that take years to develop like ER do this, massive kudos to you my guy. If I got a cent for everytime I've been unable to do a riposte in FromSoft games because the dragon's head clips through a wall or a rock, I'd be swimming in money rn
I haven’t seen you in so many years, and this absolutely blew me away. Mojang should take notes on this honestly
actually crazy datapack
I love watching these behind the scenes video's! I'm a "Hermits and friends" fan and found this video through them playing. There was so much thought and detail put into this, that I really respect the end product even more! I cannot wait for the Hermits and friends to explore all of the madness in this difficulty! ❤ Extremely well done!
I genuinely want this dragon fight to be in the game. It looks incredible, actually fleshed out compared to the original one, and kind of fits in the current vision of the game?? You worked some incredible magic. The crystal tail is probably my favorite, because you were able to implement placing blocks into the design of the bossfight in a way that isn't unintentional cheese. If the item destruction mechanic wasn't in there for the sake of fitting in the impossible Minecraft datapack, you could probably have a way to lock the item slot for a duration, or force an extended cooldown like shield guardbreak. Maybe the item floats in the air in a bubble, so you need to build up to it.
2:50 Perfect opportunity for the Lego building sound effect
I had fun watching the mayhem of the first episode of Grian and co. But I'm most excited for them to start sciencing out all the tricks and work arounds and making projects. I hope they have less panic and more intentionality in their next episode because i absolutely want to see them get to this awesome boss fight. Incredible work, man. Youve made something to be really proud of and I love its getting attention through Grian's group's channels.
Alright I watched the first episode on some of the large youtubers channels and thought it was cool, funny, creative... all that stuff. Like when you look at a nice painting and your like oh thats a cool painting. Then I watch this and realize he did the equivalent of painting that nice picture with the brush in his mouth. Crazy way to tackle that project and I think a lot of knowledge can be gained from this pursuit, Thank you.
Is there anyway we might be able to *JUST* have the Enderdragon as a standalone?
Because holy moly its so darn cool
Absolutely! Already released it as a standalone datapack on my patreon and will also publicly release it soon! :)
@@McMakistein Woot!!!
Nice data pack you are very skilled
I really enjoyed watching some of the first episodes of the Impossible Minecraft series, and then coming here it was super fascinating to see some of your process and the problem solving that went into developing this datapack. It’s very cool and I’m excited to see more of it :D
A funny and annoying addition would be torches that now set you on fire if you stand on them
Edit: I just watched Jimmy's video he stood on torches like 500 times lmao
This is just amazing and first episode of the RUclipsrs was so fun to watch, cant wait for more :)
Great work, mate. Its always nice to see an austrian touch on things ^^
I LOVE THE NEW DRAGON MECHANIC! It feels very vanilla actually, it's perfect! Now that's how the dragon bossfight should be in the game!
Also I respect you for such hard work you put into this. I find it very impressive that you managed to keep it working even with mojang constantly updating the datapack mechanics, and you even used the new mechanics. That's gotta be a lot of reworking! Also very impressive that it's all in vanilla minecraft as a datapack and without any plugins or mods. This is very cool!
Watched scars episode and was laughing my butt off! I couldn't play this but am loving watching them play, all the deaths are hilarious!! Very entertaining.
I came here from Grian's Impossible Minecraft video and find myself very impressed. It would be interesting enough if it was a mod but to code it purely with commands! You are a mad genius. Thank you for the effort you have put in. Sure I'll probably never play it but watching the hermits suffer is amusing.
