L_Ender's Cataclysm Mod

L_Ender's Cataclysm introduces a lot of new items, structures, and mobs into the game. This makes it easier for players new to the mod to get confused. Worry no more, as this article is here to assist you in progressing through this mod.

The bosses introduced by L_Ender's Cataclysm are much more powerful and challenging to beat when compared to the vanilla boss - The Ender Dragon. These new bosses are to be faced after the End game, and therefore this article assumes that the player has basic knowledge about certain game mechanics. For example, locating the stronghold housing the End portal using Eyes of Ender.

Gearing Up

The bosses you are going to face in L_Ender's Cataclysm mod are much stronger than any boss in the vanilla game. Therefore, it is important that certain items are obtained before you challenge a boss. Let us take a look at how you can properly equip yourself to face a Cataclysm boss.

You are advised to equip yourself with a full set of Diamond or Netherite armor. Apply Protection IV enchantment on armor pieces. A shield is also mandatory as many of the bosses tend to utilize throwable or wave attacks. It is also highly recommended to enchant your boots with Feather Falling as many bosses tend to throw you around.

Keep plenty of Strength, Regeneration and Fire Resistance potions ready for use. Attacks from the new bosses will drain your health faster than you can blink, and proper regeneration is required to decrease chances of dying early.

Enchant your melee weapons with powerful enchantments like Sharpness V. You should carry projectile weapons like Bows or Crossbows. Apply Power IV or Piercing IV enchantments on them. Also, food sources like bread or steak are not going to be enough. Craft plenty of golden apples, as these will be your main food source while facing a boss.

Additionally, keep items like ender pearls, a water bucket and some building blocks ready-to-use in your hotbar. You will never know when you will need them. They might mean the difference between life and death in certain situations.

Now that you are all geared up. Let us start facing the real bosses.
