Dragonights - Official Minecraft Mod
Dragonights is an upcoming sci-fi animated series set in the J9 Universe. This mod represents the official adaptation of the series for Minecraft, developed by J9 Studios and representatives of the Dragonights™ franchise.
🚀 Starting Your Adventure
The mod brings the main content of the TV show into the world of Minecraft, allowing you to create your own adventures with friends in the J9 Universe. For full integration with Minecraft's gameplay, some elements will be implemented in ways that differ from the series canon.
To begin playing, you'll need to find rare meteors that have crashed into the Overworld. Using the crystals you find and a thick potion, you can create a new crystallization potion that grants you the abilities of the corresponding crystal, turning you into a Dragonight.
Currently, several types of dragonite crystals have been implemented, including chondrite and several paintings. A coating mechanism using melted Ender Pearls (pearl ooze) has also been added, which blocks the terraforming abilities of crystals similar to how wax protects copper from oxidation. If a crystal is struck by lightning, the terraformation process instantly accelerates.
| Crystal | Description |
|---|---|
| Lefonti | Transforms deserts and other biomes into lush jungles under certain conditions. Meteors with Lefonti clusters can be found in vanilla and modded jungle biomes. |
| Corrupted Lefonti | Turns living biomes into wastelands, destroying nearby entities. Meteors with corrupted Lefonti clusters are located in Ancient Cities. |
| Fusite | Transforms biomes into deserts, destroying nearby entities. Meteors with Fusite clusters can be discovered in vanilla and modded desert biomes. |
🪐 Planned Features
The developers plan numerous features, but the main challenge is maintaining the vanilla feel of the game. Currently, the mod is only available for the latest version of Minecraft NeoForge 1.21.8. As development progresses, porting to more popular game versions is planned, including Fabric support and creating an addon for Bedrock Edition.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Dragonight Abilities | Transform into a dragonight using a dragonization potion created from a thick potion and dragonite crystal. This grants full access to the specific crystal's abilities. An entity can only be one type of dragonight at a time but can use a reset potion to change. |
| Dragonite Crystals | Over twenty unique crystal varieties for automatic world terraforming and using special abilities. |
| Planets | A dozen new dragonite planets to explore in another star system with Ad Astra integration. Each planet will be populated by diverse cultures and creatures, offering new blocks and items. |
| Aliens | Fight aliens wanting to conquer the world by participating in Cold Raids - a new raid system involving the Plozoni antagonists. Collect Vortanium, a magic-resistant metal from the planet Pluton, to create unique armor and tools above Netherite tier. |
| Trims | Completely new smithing templates and trim materials for all dragonite crystals. |
| Meteors | Find meteors with dragonite crystals - the first step into the world of Dragonights. Crystal types depend on the biome. |
| Crystallographer | A new villager type selling crystals and gems, offering dragonite crystals at master level. Wandering traders can also offer crystals from their travels. |
| Astral State | Particularly realistic in hardcore mode. A dragonight has two inventories - physical and astral. Switching between them is possible anytime, but dying as a dragonight turns you into a ghost until you give up or find another dragonight to transfer your astral body to the physical world. The astral world is more dangerous than the physical one but offers magnificent views and adventure mode for spectators. |
| Bosses | Battle the main antagonists of the Dragonights™ franchise. Most are nearly impossible to defeat without becoming a dragonight or gaining supernatural abilities. |
🔗 Compatibility with Other Mods
At this early development stage, specific compatibility hasn't been implemented. Any mod properly using datapack tags should automatically be compatible with one-way terraformation. As the project develops, maximum compatibility with all major mods is planned for seamless experience for modpack creators and players.
⚠️ Important Information
The mod is in public ALPHA stage! Expect bugs, missing features, and experimental mechanics. Always create world backups before using.
