Fallen victim to curiosity
Soul bound by a curse yet to be lifted..."
This datapack requires Scrolls of Mending v1.3.0.
The Cursed Messenger is a boss addon for Scrolls of Mending that adds a tough boss of the same name. The encounter was designed around 2-3 players using datapacks that increase player power. It might be possible to solo it with vanilla minecraft equipment and scrolls of mending.... might.
You first need to craft a Cursed Scroll of Binding. You craft this similarly to any scroll of mending, however instead of a Mending book, you use Curse of Binding, and instead of the normal scroll seals, you craft a Cursed Scroll Seal as follows:
Cursed Scroll Seal Recipe
Right-clicking while holding the cursed scroll will spawn the boss on you, and it will immediately be aggressive.
Abilities
Melee - The boss strikes its current target for 20 physical damage (10 hearts) and "tags" them.
Grapple - Every 5 seconds, the boss removes all "tags". If no player has been tagged, it will pull a random player within 30 blocks to its location and focus on them instead.
Papercut Flurry - Every 15 seconds, a flurry of cuts will be cast at every player within 15 blocks 5 times, dealing 6 magic damage (3 hearts) every hit.
Vanish - If no players are within 20 blocks, the boss will vanish into a cloud of smoke. It cannot be resummoned for another 5 seconds.
Repel Wolf - If a wolf is detected within 20 blocks, it is teleported a short distance elsewhere.
Destroy Vehicle - If a minecart or boat is within "mounting" range, it is destroyed.
Summon Cursed Letters - At 75/50/25% health, the boss will summon 5 cursed letters that have a weakness I aura (5 blocks)

On a successful kill, a cooldown of 4 hours (configurable) begins, and the boss cannot be resummoned until then. In addition, players in range also receive:
Rewards
+2000 exp
+50% gear durability repaired
Any two of the following:
-A piece of the messenger armor, each with their own unique stats. A full set bonus grants Speed I and Haste I
-A Faded Letter, that increases damage but reduces your max health
-A Sturdy Letter Opener, that swings quickly and grants a small amount of armor and armor toughness

Due to this encounter being designed around datapack-enhanced minecraft play, using other datapacks is recommended. A personal suggestion is ERROR 422's Magic Spells primarily for the Field of Regeneration spell.
To open the config, run this command: /function joshmats:cursed_messenger/config/menu
To uninstall the datapack, run this command: /function joshmats:cursed_messenger/uninstall
Afterwards, you can safely disable then remove the datapack.
This was my first attempt at a custom boss. Let me know what you think!
