Neon Boss Mod Notes

• Adds a server-side Neon Boss encounter. Break any ore (overworld or nether gold/quartz) for a 0.6% chance to drop a Neon Boss Soul. Right-click an emerald block with a soul to summon the boss (spawns with a short intro before fighting).
• Boss fight: custom AI cycles sword spin, sniper volleys, ice shard freezes, and an ultimate freeze/barrage/slam. Health is tracked virtually (aimed at 100,000) with a boss bar; it ignores damage during the spawn intro. Dropping the boss awards the Neon Ascension Blade plus extra souls.
• Loot: Neon Ascension Blade (fireproof, heavy melee damage and slower swing) plus bonus souls for future summons or upgrades.
• Upgrade system: shapeless crafting recipe Neon Boss Soul + Diamond + eligible weapon upgrades the weapon (netherite tools, sword/axe/shovel/pick/hoe, bow, crossbow, trident). Each craft adds +5 bonus damage up to level 3, stored on the item; bonus damage is applied on melee hits even for ranged bases.
• Utility: ore drops and boss spawn work entirely server-side; clients still need the mod to render the custom boss/projectile types.
• Limitations: the virtual health cap is enforced server-side and not saved across item copies; ranged weapons only gain the melee bonus on direct attacks (projectile damage is unchanged). Boss visuals use dyed armor colors only if clients provide a matching resource pack or run the mod.
