If there is any area in which Minecraft is lacking, it is in the boss fight department. There are only two true bosses in the game: the Ender Dragon and the Wither.
Minecraft has a couple of mobs that are deadly. However, they are not considered bosses by the game.
Thankfully, the Minecraft community has stepped up and created many mods that add different boss fights to the game. Detailed below are five of the best among these mods.

Bosses of Mass Destruction, The Twilight Forest, and 3 other great Minecraft mods for new boss battles in 2022
1) Mutant Mobs
While many of the mutants found in the mod are hostile, there are some mobs that will aid players in combat. These mobs include mutant wolves and axolotls, which players can find and tame, as well as mutant snow and iron golems.
2) Bosses of Mass Destruction
Bosses of Mass Destruction is a lightweight Minecraft mod, especially when compared to major overhaul mods like The Twilight Forest. It adds only four new bosses to the game — the Night Lich, Obsidilith, Nether Gauntlet, and the Void Blossom.
The Night Lich is an undead lich and is found in towers within cold biomes. Meanwhile, the Obsidilith is a sentient obsidian monolith that attacks players and is found in the End.
The Nether Gauntlet is a floating, sentient glove with an eye on its palm found in the Nether. The Void Blossom, on the other hand, is a giant flower that can be found in rare caves near the bottom of the world.
3) Mowzie’s Mobs
Mowzie’s Mobs is one of the best-known mods out there right now. It includes unique AI, custom fluid animations for bosses, and a new rich atmosphere. Players have one goal in this mod: prove their mettle against these bosses, steal their powers, and use them to take on the harder bosses.
These new mobs include the Ferrous Wroughtnaut, a huge metal construct that wields a massive metal axe, which it can use to attack in huge arcs in front of itself. However, if players manage to defeat the construct, they will get this axe for themselves.
The mod also has Naga, drake-like creatures that inhabit coastal cliffs. They attack players with acidic poison. These enemies are very fast but also very frail.
