Glad I could be helpful! And you inspired me with how you used these pictures, next update I will surely have more thought-out screenshots and wiki on main page thanks to you! // and as for help, I'd always appreciate some models (especially as one person in comments mentioned great idea for the boss), but I'm afraid even with model I'm too much newbie in MCreator to make boss actually working properly :D thanks for all kind words anyway!
