The Cave Sanctum
Did you think that the climb was going to be the only release?The cave sanctum is the first sanctum in a series of linear story-based dungeons. This first version is just an early proof of concept - the bosses are there, the mechanics are there, the loot is there but we still have to tie the narrative up in-game, which will be happening very soon.This sanctum will be getting more updates over the coming days!Update: Added the custom soundtrack for this fight made by JakeDaJester, cleaned up some...
The Climb Dungeon
It's finally here!The climb dungeon is the first dungeon in a series of linear story-based dungeons.

When that happens it will be posted on magmaguy.itch.io and this download page will be removed!EliteMobs Info: Rec...
Minor announcement – Custom AI (blogpost)
It seems as though there is some interest from you, the patrons, in keeping a development log of features of particular interest. As such, this blogpost comes with a vote for whether I should continue publishing these as I am or, if you would prefer, I restrict the posts on Patreon to be at least mostly about new content releases.Today I released EliteMobs 8.4.5-SNAPSHOT-3 with the following changelog:- [New - custom AI] Regional bosses now have AI that makes them walk back to the spawn point, i...
Minor announcement - NMS code (blogpost)
Hello everyone,Today, for the first time in the nearly 6 years EliteMobs I’ve been working on EliteMobs for and for the first time in the 7 years I’ve been doing Minecraft plugins, I’ve released a set of features which depend on NMS code.This is a landmark moment for me, and one that I wanted to make note of in a blogpost. That I have not written NMS code in the last 7 years is not a coincidence, it has been a sticking point, a line in the sand beyond which things would take “too much ef...

Quick update - injury
Hello everyone,You may have noticed lately that a lot of things got updated, but I have not made any major announcements.My plan was, as per usual, to push a lot of updates out and then do one big announcement alongside a video release for the enchantment system (and some other stuff).However, a couple of days ago while I was in the middle of doing some bugfixing and finishing some of the release work, I started developing some serious wrist pain and knew I had to take a break before this became...
10 Premium Enchantment Sanctums
Ever wanted to have to defeat a boss in order to upgrade an item?No? Well, this is awkward, because here are 10 excellent boss fights made just for that!With a cool arena by Max, boss encounter design by Frostcone and models by MagmaGuy, these guys are just tough enough to be a challenge, but not so much that people will send you death threats when they lose the enchantment and potentially even lose the item they were upgrading!This packs contain 10 sanctums, all happening in the same arena. The...
Item upgrade system vote
Howdy,I am currently facing a bit of a dilemma with designing the core aspect of how the item upgrade system will work, and I think your feedback here will help me take a decision.The general idea:In the new item upgrade system, it is no longer possible to upgrade the level of an item, but it is possible to add any enchantment to elite items - as long as you have the corresponding elite enchanted book.In EliteMobs, the more enchantments and potion effects an item has, the higher the quality of t...

EliteMobs announcement - preparing to launch more content
Hello everyone,Preparations for the numerous planned releases are going well, and today I got around to addressing one of my main concerns moving forward - how annoying it can be to hunt down every download page for EliteMobs.To keep it short, today I released 3 big changes to the way EliteMobs downloadable content is structured:1) All free EliteMobs content can now be downloaded at https://magmaguy.itch.io/em-free-content .

An important poll about combat
Hello everyone,I have an important question for EliteMobs that needs careful consideration.We are currently working on truly advanced combat mechanics, challenges where mechanics must be mastered and gear acquired to have a chance to actually beat the bosses.However, we are still doing this in Minecraft, and that comes with its own challenges. We are modelling the encounters after MMORPG systems, and we already have the first implementation of DPS and tank roles, but we are now facing a complica...
EliteMobs 8.2.0 & more
Hello everyone,I have just released EliteMobs 8.2.0 which is an absolutely massive update to EliteMobs. Many of the systems added and tweaked are currently "invisible", as they are all preparation work for the upcoming instanced dungeons.I made the video showcase above to show off just how powerful the Elite Scripts are. It's a small script I put together in a day, but I think the end result is quite nice.You'll have noticed that 80 new events released today. This is the first pa...

Some news
Hello everyone,I feel like it's been a little while since I've last sat down and written a blog post, and a lot of things are coming together right now, meaning that it is probably a good time to cover some news.1) Patreon billing changesPatreon now allows me to charge people every ~30 days instead of on the first of each month. This is something I've been begging for ever since I first joined the platform, and I am extremely happy that it is now in place.I instantly switched the bil...
