Introduction:

This datapack adds a Wither Skeleton raid in Bastion Remnant, just like an illager raid in villages. It supports minecraft versions from 1.16.2 to 1.21.

Warning:

Rebalanced Piglins Datapack is required for this datapack to work properly. Elaboration is as follows:

• The feature "Restrict Pig Zombies" disallows the spawn of Zombified Piglins inside of Bastion Remnant and nether forests. With this feature, they will only spawn in Nether Wastes biome. This feature helps this datapack to avoid Piglins getting scared away and losing to Wither Skeletons just because of the presence of Zombified Piglins inside the Bastion.
• The feature "Restrict Hoglins" disallows the spawn of Hoglins inside of Bastion Remnant. With this feature, they will only spawn in Nether Forests biome. This feature helps this datapack to stop Piglins from unnecessarily attacking the hoglins during a Wither Skeleton Raid and losing rapidly.

Working:

1. Adds Captain Wither Skeleton:
   • HP ♥️: 50 (25 hearts)
   • Armor 🛡️: Captain's Golden Helmet (Unbreakable, Will Always drop on death)
   • Knockback Resistance ⛑: 70%
   • Weapon ⚔️: Enchanted Golden Axe
   • Spawn 🔁: Nether Fortress
   • Kill Reward: Wither Curse Effect (you can't die from this effect but it won't let you live either).
   NOTE: Before triggering a raid, be prepared with atleast Diamond Armor, Melee Weapons, Ranged Weapons, Shield, and Food. Captain's Golden Helmet can not only be used to befriend Piglins, but also to retain gold armor.


2. Main Changes and Additions: (also includes "How To Play?" guide)
   • Bastion Remnants does not contain lava anymore. This change not only makes it easy for players to stay safe during raid, but also makes it easy for Wither Skeletons to move better instead of getting stuck in lava. In addition, with this change, piglins can roam freely in their Bastion.
   • Magma Cube Spawners in Bastion Remnant are now replaced with Charged Respawn Anchors.
   • Bastion Raid will start when a player with Wither Curse Effect enters the Bastion Remnant.
   • Every wave of raid is led by one Captain Wither Skeleton, so the players will have to fight atleast one Captain each wave.
   • During the start of each wave, wither skeleton raiders will spawn outside the Bastion Remnant and will start digging into Bastion. Once they are in, they will find every Piglin and try to kill it. Your job is to stop each wave of wither skeletons from killing the piglins.
   • Raid waves vary according to game difficulty:
   • Easy Difficulty: 6 waves
   • Normal Difficulty: 7 waves
   • Hard Difficulty: 8 waves
   • In this raid, players do not get a bell to reveal the enemies through walls. Instead, there is a new mechanism. Wither Skeletons will glow for 5 seconds upon spawn, and after that, they will randomly glow and reveal themselves. Be sure to look for them at the very start of each wave, just so you will know their exact location. Wither Skeletons glow red in color.
   • Piglins will also glow and reveal their location to you for assistance. Good part is, Piglins glow alot often when the "Raid" bar is recharging, so, players can take that as an advantage to reach them, to guard them.
   • Piglins and Piglin Brutes will not attack the player(wearing gold armor) under any condition during a raid, even if the player accidentally hits or kills any of them.
   • Several Piglins will prepare their charged respawn anchor to help players respawn.
   • A display counter "Allies Remaining" will show the number of piglins remaining above player's hotbar.
   NOTE: If the Raid does not start, then that means, a Raid is currently in progress in some other part of the world. An inactive raid (without players) eventually expires after 10 minutes. When raid expires, "Raid - Defeat" will show to the players who were a part of that inactive raid. So, you will have to wait for 10 minutes at least for raid to occur.
   NOTE 2: Piglin Brute is now replaced with a normal Piglin but have same stats as Piglin Brute so it will not really matter during gameplay. With resourcepack, you can even see Piglin Brute's skin on that normal Piglin. This change was done for removing hostility from Piglin Brute while retaining its power.


3. New Advancements:
   • Voluntary Exile : Kill a Captain Wither Skeleton. Maybe consider staying away from the bastion remnants for the time being.
   • Hero of the Bastion Remnant : Successfully defend a bastion from a raid.
   • Unexpected Allies : Bastion savior, now guarded by grateful piglins.
   NOTE: The new Voluntary Exile advancement does not replace the original Voluntary Exile advancement which was obtained by killing Illager Captain. Both have different IDs.
