1. Replacing Vanilla Mobs
When a monster spawns naturally, for example in the night, there is a chance (that you configure) that it'll get Bossified!
... but... what if you want MORE BOSSES, or your server has spawning disabled?
2. Naturally Around Players
Fully independent, extremelly customizable spawning, for example each hour every Friday extra Bosses appear.
You configure worlds, biomes, height, lightning level, thunder, rain, real world minutes, hours, week days, months, 3D regions, where Bosses spawn, Boss limit per world/around players and SO MUCH MORE:
Random Spawning Settings

Radius

Is Boss™ for me?
Below I have tried to enumerate many sticking points I personally met when I had a server with 30k unique players, and that this plugin will help you with.
- Do you find the default Minecraft mobs boring and wished you could change them?
- Do you get bored killing the same mobs again and again?
- Do you have monster arena plugin on your server and wish to improve it dramatically?
- Have you ever had an idea of a monster dropping special key to unlock some part of your server?
- Do you players abandon your survival server after some time because they "seen it all"?
- Or generally if you feel like you're loosing players on your server, this plugin may help you gain it back.
- Be mindful about how you structure your gameplay and your worlds. Sometimes less is more.
- Install a minigame plugin that will keep player engaged while they are not playing.
- Consider having a multi-world plugin like Multiverse-Core that enables you to have multiple worlds
- Install a dynamic map like DynMap so you motivate players to track themselves in the worlds.
- Read the Spigot change-log often, try to understand the changes and update your Spigot accordingly (every second day at minimum on new Minecraft versions, otherwise once a week is in my opinion enough).
