■ If you dream of becoming a dragon in Minecraft like me, then this mod is for you! ■ 

■ You can trade your human body for one of 3 dragons: 
- Forest Dragon – poisonous dragon that prefers dense forests. It feeds on meat and drinks water. Afraid of the darkness of the dungeon. Good at getting wood. More resistant to falls.
– Sea Dragon – live in deep seas and rivers. They eat fish and drink water. Perfectly adapted to life in the water and do not require oxygen to breathe, but do not feel well on land. Their special paw structure gives them an advantage when mining soft blocks. 
– Cave Dragon – inhabitant of a dark dungeons. Eats coal and drinks lava. A true miner and has an advantage in the speed of stone mining. In a bad relationship with water

  • 3 stages of growth: newborn, young and adult. Each has a different hitbox and amount of health.
  • New enemies: magical predators. Able to hide in other creatures and leave behind a star, which can be removed only by sacrificing someone. Beware of them. Will be completely redone in a future update.
  • 16 dragon doors, 3 blocks high. As many as 3 special doors that can only be opened by dragons of a certain species. 
  • Flying, available after talking to Ender dragon (no need to kill it).
  • Skin system.
  • Multiplayer.
  • Dragonriders – fly with your friends.
  • And much more…


■ If you're unfamiliar with dragon-loving community and searching "end goal" in all mods, you may have a hard time understanding us. This mod is primarily about roleplay. We will make a global mod, close to old RPG games. Right now we want to make existing mechanics work perfectly, and then we'll start expanding. This mod was first published on 17.04.2021. So don't be surprised that we have "little" content. Most of work you can't see.

 

■ This mod is for you if:

  • You want just to be a dragon, not kill/tame one.
  • Take a break from Steve and diversify your gameplay.
  • Ready to understand and forgive the early version for having bugs and little content.
  • You promise not to ask about the transfer of mods on older versions of the game because this mod is only for Java 1.16.5 and above.

■ This mod is NOT suitable for you if:

  • You think you will become an all-powerful fire-breathing dragon.
  • You need to finish this mod as a "quest". 
  • You want to be a weredragon and turn into a human. 
  • You do not have Forge and GeckoLib
  • You have "Why?"


  • Install Forge 1.16.5. We recommend upgrading to 36.1.32+
  • Download the latest version of Dragons Survival and GeckoLib (3.0.33+) library to your computer. If you have "Dragon Fruit" from patreon you need to install "AppleSkin" additionally.
  • Move these two files to the "mods" folder, which is located in the game folder or create it manually.
  • Launch the game and enjoy!
    An alternative installation involves using the modpack from the list below.

     "Mod doesn't work!"
    ■ If Dragons Survival isn't working for you, it's 90% likely you've made a mistake here:
  • 1. Check that you have installed the Forge version of Geckolib. Please stop downloading Fabric version!
  • 2. Mod only works on new versions of Forge, update it by downloading from the official website.
  • 3. If you have a huge amount of mods, remove them and check on a clean version of the game. If everything is working, then look for what mod is causing a conflict.
  • 4. Changed your config and now the game does not work? Make sure you didn't forget a ";" or "," somewhere.

■ If you can't do anything, ask us on Discord and read Q&A.



■  Mods
1.  Ice and Fire  – dragon players are duplicated when trying to fly a dragon. Some people say they have problems with this mod, others say they have no problems. I don't know which of them to believe, but just in case, check this option for possible problems. The biggest problem is caused by 1.15.
2.  Immersive Portals  – dragon players become invisible in Nether.
3. Pokecube AOI – Ticking World Crash when entering The End.

■ Plugins
1. SkinsRestorer – dragon disappears on restart game.

Server
1. Mohist – Wings and drop teleportation do not work in End. Need to put a separate patch to fix this.

■  Optifine
Сan create difficulties and visual bugs, which are solved by correct settings:
1. set "Performance"/" rendering areas " to "off" (cave dragon);
2. set "shaders" / "shader options" /"fog options"/ "underwater fog density" to 150-200 (sea dragon);
3. also turn off soft lighting if you have black shadows on nest.


"Migration to version […]?"
■ The modification will only be updated for 1.16.5 and newer versions. The transfer to 1.17 will most likely not happen for many reasons beyond our control. The version for 1.15 is not up to date and will not be updated. We do not plan to port the mod to older versions, but if someone helps us with this – we would be glad.

"What are you planning to add? I have lots of ideas!"
■ In addition to balance and bugfixes, we have many plans for future content. For example, an emotion system for communication, changing predators, a new stage of development, adding more uniqueness to each dragon, magic, skills, riders, etc. I'm getting a lot of comments about what should be added or changed and I have only one request to all of you: just wait. If you really want to help, check out the ▸🐝help-to-do chat in discord.

"What are you NOT planning to add?" 
■ We have no plans to: increase the size of dragons, make dragons background monsters, free transformation from dragon to human, equipment and weapons, change generation, etc. I have a huge number of reasons not to do this, please stop writing with suggestions like this. I do not plan to impose my vision of dragons and a lot of things you can customize through configs.

"Some things seem silly to me. Why do items fly near to the dragon and it has no wings in the early stages? Does that make sense?"
■ Yes, this mod is based on my lore, which was created a long time ago and is gradually being finalized. I'll tell you the details when I'm ready.

How do I set up a mod? Where are settings?"
■ Each mod has a special file in which there are settings for the mod. Just use a search inside the folder.
1. "dragonsurvival-server.toml" – all dragon type settings and 95% of mod settings. You can find it in one of two places:
– /[servername]/[mapname]/serverconfig (for a server)
– .minecraft/saves/[worldname]/serverconfig (for single play)
2. "dragonsurvival-common.toml" – setting up magical predators.
3. "dragonsurvival-client.toml" – first and third person settings.

"Why not make the dragon model bigger?"
■ I think that all big models in Minecraft look awful and unnatural. The whole gameplay is designed for the player to be 2 blocks tall and anything bigger than that breaks the game. The idea of having a huge model is fun until you try to survive with it yourself. Trust me, you won't like the results. If you want the big model too much, use the Shrink. There is a chance that in the future dragons can grow very slowly beyond their current size, but there is a lot to do in the code for that.

■ "I've found a bug and I'm ready to thoroughly describe it."
■ The mod is currently in early access and we are working on many problems. We would appreciate you to send logs, crash files and error descriptions to ✎issues . Please do not forget to specify the version of the mod when this error occurs, single player or multiplayer, what version of forge and geckolib you have. Ideally, if you attach the file from the "crash" folder in .minecraft.

"Do you have your own game server to play with other dragons?"
■ We have a server for friends of DS, but for now it is only available to trusted people and patreon.

"Why don't you add the ability to turn from dragon to human all the time without losing progress?"
■ The answer is simple: DS is a mod about being a dragon, not a human. Maybe someday someone will create an addon that will add something like that…

"Why are there so few dragon species? Where are wyverns, serpents?"
■ Reasons why there won't be other models:
1. The skin system will not work correctly.
2. For many things to mechanically work correctly, the model must be the same for all situations. For example, turning your neck and riding.
3. We have 17 unique realistic animations at the moment. There will be about 15 more animations-emotions. Then about 5 more animations for magic. Now imagine that I would have to redo ALL of the animations for every new model the players want to add. Each animation takes me at least 2-3 days of real time.
4. This doesn't make any sense except visually. I want to keep maximum saturation and uniqueness within each available species, not make ten species that differ only in color.
5. We would have to write separate code for each model.
6. Any editing of a group of models would take many times longer.
7. Deterioration of optimization.
There is a small chance that we will add new body types for dragons, but don't expect them too soon.

"I want to create my own skin. Where can I download a model for skins and does it cost any money? "
■ Check the attached message at ▸skins in discord. Uploading your skins to our library is completely free, as long as you create the texture yourself rather than asking the mod author to draw it for you. The library currently contains approximately 150 skins that players have made themselves. Be sure to read all the articles about creating skins so you can speed up your work and avoid making common mistakes. Don't be afraid to experiment and ask on the server! We'll try to correct you if something goes wrong.

 

■ Now I am actively engaged in the creation of modpacks for different categories of players. These modpacks will be based on our mod. If you have any modpacks that are specifically created for Dragons Survival please contact me.

  • Dragon Survival: Newborn Modpack (2 mods) - simplest official Dragon Survival "modpack", which contains only what you need to run the game and nothing else. Ideal if you just want to know how it works in a vanilla game or can't install the mod yourself.
  • Dragon Survival: Young Modpack (180+ mods) - for those who are just beginning to get acquainted with the world of mods of Minecraft and do not want too complicated global mods. Collected the most simple, but interesting vanilla mods, which will perfectly diversify your game. 
  • Dragon Survival: Adult Modpack [in process] - Young Modpack + complex and global mods.
