Boss Refreshed

Boss Refreshed

Boss Refreshed is a resource pack that retextures Minecraft's major bosses: the Ender Dragon, the Wither, the Warden, and the Elder Guardian. It gives each of these fights a fresh, more detailed look without changing any gameplay — the bosses still behave and fight exactly as they normally do.

A key feature is its support for OptiFine's Custom Entity Models (CEM). With CEM enabled, the pack can use custom models for these bosses rather than only swapping their textures, allowing for more elaborate shapes and animation. Without OptiFine or CEM support, the pack still applies its retextures, but the custom model work may not appear.

To use it, install it like any resource pack and enable it in your resource pack list. Because it is a resource pack rather than a mod, it works on the Java Edition; Bedrock and Pocket Edition use a different pack format and are not covered by this pack.
