Scaled Dragon Fight

Scaled Dragon Fight 🌠

A lightweight server-side Fabric mod that dynamically scales the Ender Dragon's health based on the number of players in The End — now with support for delayed initial spawns and XP bar countdowns.

No installation is needed on the client — just drop it into your server's mods folder and configure it to your liking.

🔧 Features

• 📈 Dynamic Health Scaling: The Ender Dragon's max health increases with each eligible player in The End.
• ⏱️ Initial Spawn Delay: Optionally delay the very first dragon spawn and show a countdown on players’ XP bars.
• ⚙️ Server-Side Only: No client installation required — perfect for modded or vanilla-compatible SMPs.
• 🔧 Configurable: Customize how scaling and spawn delays work via a simple .properties config file.
• 📢 Broadcast Messages: Optional announcements when a scaled dragon appears.
• 🛠️ In-Game Reload: /scaleddragonfight reload command to reload configuration without restarting the server.
