✨ GuardianOfNether

A fully configurable Nether Guardian boss with 3 phases, custom armor drop, and Nether access control.

---

🧠 Concept

The Chestplate of Guardian is a powerful boss that guards access to the Nether. Players must defeat it to unlock the Nether portal. Upon death, it drops the Chestplate of Guardian — a cursed armor piece with unique powers that cannot be removed or stored.
