Description
Adds Shadow Ninja Bosses: stealthy humanoid bosses that naturally spawn in groups of four in dark overworld monster biomes and will respawn once per Minecraft day near active players. They can open doors, are extremely tanky (160 HP) but deal very low melee damage, creating a persistent, slow-to-kill threat that can harass bases and villages. Defeating them rewards a unique Ninja Sword and a guaranteed bounty of 12 diamond blocks, and a spawn egg is included for testing, making them a repeatable and lucrative PvE challenge.

Shadow Dojo Bosses
Quickstart
- Install the
.mcaddonand apply both the behavior and resource packs to your world. - Load into a world on Easy difficulty or higher — Shadow Ninja Bosses will begin spawning naturally at night in monster biomes (forests, plains at night, deserts, etc.).
- Once per Minecraft day, a fresh group of 4 Shadow Ninja Bosses automatically spawns within roughly 18–28 blocks of a random player in the Overworld.
- For instant testing, find the Shadow Ninja Boss Spawn Egg in the Equipment tab of the Creative inventory and use it to spawn one manually.
- Fight them down — they have a lot of health, but hit very softly. Defeat all four for a Ninja Sword and 12 Diamond Blocks per kill.
Overview
Shadow Dojo Bosses adds Shadow Ninja Bosses: dark, humanoid boss-tier enemies that stalk the Overworld each night. They appear in groups of four, display a boss health bar, and are built to be a persistent, repeatable PvE threat. Thanks to their door-opening ability, no base or village is truly safe from their nightly visits. The reward for bringing them down — a powerful Ninja Sword and a pile of diamond blocks — makes hunting them a highly profitable daily activity.

How To Use
Encountering Shadow Ninja Bosses
Shadow Ninja Bosses spawn naturally at night on the surface of any monster biome when light levels are 7 or below (adjusted for weather). They always appear in exact groups of 4. Difficulty must be Easy or higher — they do not spawn on Peaceful.
In addition to natural spawning, the mod runs a daily respawn system: once per Minecraft day (every 20 real-time minutes), up to 4 bosses are automatically spawned approximately 18–28 blocks away from a randomly chosen Overworld player, surrounding them in a loose ring. If some of that day's group are still alive when the next day ticks over, only the missing number are replaced.
A boss health bar appears on-screen with the name "Shadow Ninja Boss" when you are within 48 blocks.
Combat Tips
- They are very tanky (160 HP) — bring strong weapons or enchanted gear. The fight will take time.
- Their melee damage is only 2 HP per hit — you can afford to stand and trade blows if needed.
- They open doors, so barricading yourself indoors will not stop them. They will walk right through.
- They target players, iron golems, and snow golems up to 32 blocks away and will pursue aggressively.
- They can climb and navigate most terrain.
- Fighting all four at once is dangerous due to sustained harassment; try to separate them.
Using the Spawn Egg
The Shadow Ninja Boss Spawn Egg is available in the Equipment tab of the Creative inventory. Use it on any surface to instantly spawn a boss for testing or farming without waiting for the daily cycle.

Progression And Strategy
Early game: Shadow Ninja Bosses deal minimal damage, so even with basic gear you can survive the encounter. The real challenge is their massive health pool — stock up on arrows or a strong sword before engaging.
Daily farming loop: Because the bosses respawn every Minecraft day, you can farm them on a predictable schedule. Each kill drops a Ninja Sword and 12 Diamond Blocks, making each full group of four worth up to 48 diamond blocks — an extremely lucrative repeatable reward.
The Ninja Sword deals 7 damage, carries 512 durability, and uses the sword enchantment table slot. Enchanting it with Sharpness or Looting will further speed up future boss fights and improve overall efficiency.
Base defense: Because these bosses can open doors, consider upgrading your base entrances with iron doors (which require a button or lever to open and cannot be operated by mobs) to prevent them from wandering inside.
Village protection: Shadow Ninja Bosses target iron golems, so village golems will engage them. Posting extra golems or building fortified village entrances can help protect villagers during nightly raids.
