About this project

What does Savage Ender Dragon add?

Adds several new mechanics and difficulty scaling to the Ender Dragon fight, making it a more challenging and interesting fight for both solo players and larger groups.

  • The fight scales with the amount of participating players
  • The fight scales with world and configurable difficulty

Requires Cupboard dependency to be installed on newer versions

Small tip: If the lightning sound is too loud, turn down the weather sound category

Mechanics:

  • Difficulty scales with player count, affecting mob spawns, dragon health and damage, crystal respawn frequency and other mechanics. Configured static difficulty is added on top.
  • Spawns aggressive Endermen at players while disabling normal Enderman spawning around the island.
  • Destroyed End Crystals respawn after a configurable time.
  • Living crystals continue healing the dragon.
  • Fireballs deal additional explosion damage.
  • Destroying crystals can cause debuffs and mob spawns.
  • The dragon can spawn lightning strikes and explosions around players.
  • Additional effects and attacks can occur while the dragon is at low health.
  • Beds can no longer be used to cheese the dragon, with optional immunity against other explosion damage.
  • Includes an anti-flight attack to prevent flying from trivializing the fight.
  • Set the overall dragon fight difficulty to better match the difficulty of your modpack
  • Configure crystal respawn speed
  • Configure lightning and explosion density or disable lightning completely
  • Configure dragon health, damage, XP and mob spawn amount
  • Configure which mobs spawn on crystal destruction, crystal respawn and while the dragon is landed
  • Optionally disable normal mob spawning on the dragon island during the fight
  • Configure anti-flight and explosion immunity
  • Configure lightning sound volume on the client

Only required on serverside
