Adrian, 2026-11-03: guardians get a boss health bar like the Wither's, which
also leads players to them. Every player within 128 blocks of a living
guardian sees a red bar of their own (GuardianBars): name, zone, how many
blocks away, and HP. The End boss keeps the dragon's bar.
guardian_appears_and_returns checks the bar appears and goes once beaten.
Self-tests and the island check pass.
Phase 7 approved ("Then begin with the next phase"); README status updated.

# Phase 7 – checks for Adrian
|
||
|
||
## Decided
|
||
|
||
**2026-11-02:** every zone guardian gets area attacks, more and harder in harder zones; the Basalt Furnace and the End get bosses; dying or leaving the arena loses the fight; area attacks hit only the player. Then: the Deep Dark gets a legendary, and every guardian should fit its zone. Groudon, Giratina and Meloetta have no model in Cobblemon 1.8.4, so Moltres, Eternatus and Regigigas stand in. Details: `docs/design.md` → "Phase 7".
|
||
|
||
## Built so far
|
||
|
||
- **Guardians reviewed:** Mudsdale (Highland Meadows), Flygon (Sunscorch), Abomasnow (Frostpeak), Regigigas (Deep Dark), and Moltres for the Basalt Furnace, which had none. Morpeko, Pinsir, Scyther, Tangrowth, Swampert and Kingdra stay. Automated: `bosses_cover_every_guardian` (also checks Cobblemon has a model for each).
|
||
- **Boss fights:** a battle with a guardian (or the End boss) becomes a fight with area attacks: red or coloured particles on the ground show where an attack lands, about 1.5–2.5 seconds later it hits whoever stands inside. Circles, lines, cones and rings; harder zones get more of them. Fire, Ice and Poison bosses burn, freeze or poison. Automated: `boss_attack_shapes`, `boss_attacks_land_and_stop_with_the_battle`.
|
||
- **Arena:** leaving it (24 blocks; Basalt 32; End 40) or dying ends the battle as lost; the boss heals and stays. Automated: `boss_arena_leaving_loses`.
|
||
- **The End:** the Ender Dragon is gone; Eternatus appears on the main island, with the dragon's boss bar; beating it opens the exit portal and gateway, leaves the egg the first time and gives experience. Automated: `end_boss_replaces_the_dragon`.
|
||
- **Big and tough bosses** (Adrian, 2026-11-02): guardians stand about 8 blocks tall, Eternatus 15. Only HP, Defense and Sp. Def are raised (training, and the Guardian's Ward in battle doubles Defense and Sp. Def); no single attack takes more than a quarter of their HP. Guardians already in your world grow on the next check. Automated: `practice_bosses_spawn`, `boss_takes_a_quarter_per_attack`.
|
||
- **Guardian boss bars** (Adrian, 2026-11-03): within 128 blocks of a guardian you see a red bar like the Wither's: its name, its zone, how many blocks away it is (which leads you to it) and its HP. Automated in `guardian_appears_and_returns`.
|
||
- **End spawns:** the End is a zone (Lv 50–70) with Cobblemon's End lines: Beheeyem, Reuniclus, Metagross; Gothitelle and Sigilyph in End cities; Malamar and Unown with a Poké Snack. Automated: `end_has_spawns`.
|
||
|
||
## In game (Prism instance)
|
||
|
||
On the island save (or a new one), in creative or survival:
|
||
|
||
- [ ] Fight the Button Isle guardian (Morpeko, `/cobblesurvival guardians` lists where they stand): red circles appear under you every few seconds; step out before they land. Close the battle screen to move (Cobblemon's own key), then go back to it.
|
||
- [ ] Fight a later guardian (e.g. Flygon in Sunscorch or Swampert in the Mire): lines and cones from the boss as well.
|
||
- [ ] Walk more than 24 blocks away from a guardian during its fight: the battle ends as lost, and the guardian is at full HP again.
|
||
- [ ] Leave the End and come back without beating Eternatus: still only one (fixed 2026-11-02).
|
||
- [ ] Go to the End: no dragon; Eternatus stands south of the portal, the boss bar shows its HP. Beat it: the exit portal opens, the egg appears.
|
||
- [ ] Find Regigigas in a Deep Dark cave and Moltres in the Basalt Furnace.
|
||
- [ ] Go to the End: Eternatus is huge now (15 blocks). Fight it: no attack takes more than a quarter of its HP bar, even a super-effective one; it needs at least four hits. Its attacks are as strong as before.
|
||
- [ ] Visit a guardian (`/cobblesurvival boss <zone>` spawns a practice copy next to you): about 8 blocks tall; Regigigas and Moltres stand in caves with room above them.
|
||
- [ ] Walk towards a guardian's zone: within 128 blocks a red bar appears at the top ("Pinsir, guardian of Southwold (84 blocks away)"); the number drops as you get closer. In the fight the bar shows its HP; once it's beaten the bar goes.
|
||
- [ ] Walk around the End's islands for a minute: Beheeyem, Reuniclus and now and then Metagross appear, Lv 50–70 (`/cobblesurvival zone` shows "The End").

||
## Ask Adrian
|
||
|
||
**Phase 7 approved 2026-11-03** ("guardians should have a boss healthbar, like a wither … Then begin with the next phase"; the bar was built first).
|
||
|
||
- Do the attacks feel dodgeable but dangerous? All numbers are placeholders (`docs/balance.md`).
|
||
- Swap Moltres → Groudon, Eternatus → Giratina, Regigigas → Meloetta when Cobblemon adds their models? (one word each in `world/zones.json` / `tools/zone_bosses.py`)
