Quick answer
Which Searching Dragons release should I use?
Searching Dragons 1 is a complete pack release for 1.12.2 with Forge 14.23.5.2860. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. 84 mods in this pack file.
Pack setup
How should I set up Searching Dragons for players and a server?
Use Searching Dragons 1 as the pack version. Install the pack as its own launcher instance. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file, so check the release notes before setting up a dedicated server. Do not upload the ordinary client folder blindly.
A pack is a matched client and server setup, not one mod with an install-side label. Keep its release, loader, manifest and overrides together.
These numbers come from the pack file you chose. “Not labelled” means we don’t know which side it belongs on—not that it is safe everywhere. The file count is not a RAM estimate.
What are the server requirements for Searching Dragons?
Searching Dragons 1. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.
The selected pack release is Searching Dragons 1. That file is for Minecraft 1.12.2 with Forge 14.23.5.2860. It contains 84 mod projects. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file. Check their notes before using one, and do not upload an ordinary client folder or rebuild the pack mod by mod. A file count cannot tell us the right RAM, CPU or storage; size the server for the players and world you actually run.
About this project
What kind of pack is Searching Dragons?
SEARCHING DRAGONS 🐉
(IMPORTANT: For the best experience regarding the fluidity and stability of this modpack, you must add the CONFIG folder to your Minecraft folder.)
A forgotten world. A thousand dangers. And somewhere beyond the horizon, a dragon is waiting.
Searching Dragons is not just another Minecraft modpack.

It is a journey into a vast, dangerous and beautifully unpredictable world where ancient kingdoms rise beyond the forests, forgotten ruins hide beneath the earth, powerful creatures roam the wilderness, and the most legendary beings of all are so rare that finding one can become the story of your entire adventure.
You will not simply spawn into a world.
You will enter a world that already has a history.
Across the landscape, you will discover imposing castles, fortified settlements, mysterious ruins, abandoned mines, dangerous dungeons and places that feel as though someone lived, fought and died there long before you arrived. Warriors patrol their territories. Armies clash. Settlements feel alive. Powerful enemies guard forgotten places. The farther you travel, the more the world seems to reveal another chapter of its history.
And somewhere in all of this...
There are dragons.
But finding one is not easy.
They are not waiting around every corner for you to defeat them.
They are rare, dangerous and unpredictable, hidden somewhere within a gigantic world filled with places worth exploring. You may travel through forests, mountains and forgotten lands for hours without seeing one. You may hear stories about them before you ever encounter one. You may discover the remains of a legendary creature without ever finding the beast itself.
And when you finally meet one...
you will know that you found something special.

⚔️ A WORLD THAT FEELS ALIVE
Searching Dragons transforms Minecraft's familiar survival experience into something closer to a medieval fantasy adventure.
Travel across vast landscapes filled with castles, fortresses, villages, ruins, dungeons, mines and mysterious structures.
Encounter creatures unlike anything you would normally expect to find in Minecraft.
Cross dangerous wilderness where every forest, mountain and cavern can hide something unexpected.
Discover civilizations and settlements that make the world feel inhabited rather than empty.
Meet warriors and powerful inhabitants.
Find ancient places buried beneath the landscape.
And slowly realize that the world is much larger than the small area where you first spawned.
The adventure is not placed in front of you.
You have to go looking for it.
🐉 THE SEARCH FOR DRAGONS
Dragons are at the heart of Searching Dragons.
They are not simply another mob added to the game.
They are a goal.
A mystery.
A reason to explore.
A creature powerful enough to make you think twice before approaching.
The world is enormous, and the rarest creatures are exactly that: rare.
You might hear rumors.
You might discover clues.
You might stumble across enormous creatures and wonder whether something even more dangerous is nearby.
Or you might simply be walking through the wilderness when the landscape suddenly changes...
And something enormous appears in the distance.
The first dragon you discover should feel less like finding a random Minecraft mob and more like discovering a legend that was never supposed to be found.
🏰 ENTER A MEDIEVAL FANTASY WORLD
Searching Dragons combines survival with a world filled with medieval architecture, fantasy creatures, ancient civilizations, magic and war.
Build your home in the wilderness.
Claim an abandoned fortress.
Explore enormous castles.
Discover settlements guarded by warriors.
Venture into dangerous ruins.
Collect powerful weapons and shields.
Master forgotten forms of magic.
And eventually become strong enough to enter places where ordinary adventurers would never survive.
The world isn't waiting for you to become its hero.
It is waiting to see whether you survive long enough to become one.

🌎 A WORLD BEYOND THE OVERWORLD
And just when you think you have finally begun to understand your world...
leave it.
Searching Dragons expands the adventure across multiple dimensions, each offering its own environments, creatures, dangers and discoveries.
From mysterious fantasy realms to hostile dimensions filled with strange beings and ancient secrets, the world becomes progressively larger as you become stronger.
Every dimension feels like another expedition.
Another unknown.
Another reason to keep exploring.
There is always another place beyond the horizon.
Another portal waiting to be discovered.
Another structure buried somewhere you have never been.
Another creature you have never seen.
Another reason not to stop.

🗡️ FIGHT TO SURVIVE
The world of Searching Dragons is beautiful.
It is also extremely dangerous.
You will encounter aggressive creatures, powerful monsters, terrifying bosses and enemies capable of turning an expedition into a fight for survival.
Use an expanded arsenal of weapons.
Carry shields.
Prepare your equipment.
Learn magic.
Bring supplies.
And never assume that because something looks peaceful, it is safe.
The deeper you travel, the more dangerous the world becomes.
And eventually, survival stops being about having enough food.
It becomes about being strong enough to return home.
🔮 MAGIC, MYTHS & LEGENDS
Magic is woven throughout the world.
Powerful spells, mysterious artifacts, enchanted equipment and forgotten knowledge give you another way to survive and grow.
You can become the warrior who charges into battle with legendary weapons.
The explorer who searches every ruin.
The mage who studies forgotten spells.
The hunter who tracks mythical creatures.
Or simply the adventurer who keeps walking because the next mountain looks like it might contain something extraordinary.
There is no single path through Searching Dragons.
The world becomes your story.
🦕 CREATURES FROM ANOTHER AGE
And dragons are only the beginning.
The wilderness is filled with creatures that make the world feel far stranger and more alive than vanilla Minecraft.
Ancient beasts.
Mythical monsters.
Magical creatures.
Wild animals.
Sea life.
Unusual enemies.
Creatures from forgotten eras.
Some will run from you.
Some will ignore you.
Some will hunt you.
And some...
will make you wish you had stayed home.
🏹 ADVENTURE WITHOUT A SCRIPT
Searching Dragons does not force you down a linear path.
There is no glowing arrow telling you exactly where to go.
You choose your destination.
You decide which ruins to explore.
You decide which dimensions to enter.
You decide how far into the wilderness you are willing to travel.
You decide when you are strong enough to challenge the creatures waiting in the darkness.
That freedom is what makes every adventure different.
One player might spend hours building a fortified medieval settlement.
Another might become obsessed with discovering every dimension.
Another might dedicate their entire world to finding the perfect dragon.
And another might simply leave their home with a backpack, a sword and a ridiculous amount of confidence...
...and discover very quickly that confidence is not armor.
🌲 THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING BEYOND THE NEXT HILL
That is the feeling Searching Dragons is built around.
Curiosity.
You see a castle in the distance.
You go there.
You find a road.
You follow it.
You discover a ruined tower.
You investigate it.
You find a mysterious structure underground.
You descend.
You discover something you have never seen before.
You survive.
You return home.
And then you look toward the horizon again.
Because somewhere out there is another place.
Another creature.
Another dungeon.
Another kingdom.
Another dimension.
And perhaps...
your first dragon.

🐉 WILL YOU FIND THEM?
Searching Dragons is a massive fantasy survival adventure for Minecraft 1.12.2, built around exploration, medieval worlds, dangerous creatures, magic, ancient structures, dimensions, combat and the pursuit of one of the rarest and most legendary discoveries in the entire world:
the dragons.
They are out there.
Somewhere.
Waiting.
The question is not whether dragons exist.
The question is whether you will be the one who finds them.
⚔️ Explore.
🏰 Discover.
🔮 Conquer.
🌎 Survive.
🐉 Search for Dragons.
Your adventure begins now.
