This update should be compatible with worlds using version 1.0 as long as there is not a currently living Dragon, but as it is made for a new version of Minecraft, a backup is strongly recommended.
General:
- Updated Pack Format to 79 for Minecraft 1.21.6
- Version 1.9b: Fixed Area Effect Clouds not displaying particles correctly
Dragons:
- Fixed a bug that caused The Last Dragon and the 10,000 Dragons to be skipped if the 20th or 30th dragon spawned in the world was made Ominous
Rewards:
- Improved how the loot table checks for Dragon Items you already possess. It's now both more optimized and more accurate
This update should be compatible with worlds using version 1.7.2 as long as there is not a currently living Dragon, but as it is made for a new version of Minecraft, a backup is strongly recommended.
General:
- Updated Pack Format to 71 for Minecraft 1.21.5
Dragons:
- Adjusted the Frost Dragon's loot table. It now only drops one Goat Horn, which can be of a random instrument, along with an Enchanted Book with Frost Walker. Snow Blocks have also been added to this loot table.
This update should be compatible with worlds using version 1.7.1, and fixes some bugs as well as further aids in fixing some undesirable behaviors of the vanilla Ender Dragon.
Dragons:
- Dragon attacks that target players, and especially those that check for flying players, no longer target players in Spectator mode, and some don't target players in Creative mode that previously did.
- Increased the area and modified the location at which Dragons remove flowing water near them. This prevents the water from pushing the Dragon downward, which is behavior of the vanilla Ender Dragon that greatly impacts the fun and challenge introduced by the pack.
Rewards:
- Improved the performance of the Dragonsight enchantment. It now performs fewer checks, more optimally. It is still expected to cause some lag due to the number of entities, but the impact from actually scanning the area should be greatly reduced.
This update should be compatible with worlds using version 1.7, and is intended to address some undesirable play patterns, specifically with regards to killing Dragons without destroying many/any End Crystals. As always, a backup is still recommended before updating.
Dragons:
- All Dragons regenerate health more quickly while End Crystals are still present (even if the End Crystal beam is not pointing to it). The amount gained increases based on the Dragon's difficulty level.
Rewards:
- Nerfed the Dragon-Sinew Crossbow.
- Reduced Durability to 150 (from 464)
- Now deals the intended amount of damage (it was dealing more than intended due to some overlapping of damage commands and the enchanted arrow, itself)
- Made the damage not increase if the player has the Strength effect. This has the additional side-effect of requiring more accuracy to hit the Dragon
- Can no longer hurt Dragons while perched
This update should be compatible with worlds using version 1.6, provided you also update to Minecraft version 1.21.4. As always, a backup is still recommended before updating.
General:
- Updated Pack Format to 61 for Minecraft 1.21.4.
- Updated all item models to use the new Item Model Definitions
Rewards:
- Updated equippable components of custom Armor items to use the renamed asset_id field.
For the most part, this update should be compatible with worlds using version 1.5.3, provided you also update to Minecraft version 1.21.2. However, some unique Dragon Item rewards have been modified, causing their old versions to no longer work, and all of them have changed the way their handle custom textures -- you will have to acquire new versions of them. As always, a backup is still recommended before updating.
General:
- Updated Pack Format to 57 for Minecraft 1.21.2.
- Updated all attributes to remove prefixes per 1.21.2 syntax
Rewards:
- Custom Model Data is no longer used for custom items. Instead, the item_model component is used. This will cause all older reward items to no longer display correctly.
- The Draconic Scepter is now technically a Poisonous Potato, and uses the consumable component for its behavior.
- The Dragon Eyes are now technically a Poisonous Potato, and are equipped using the equippable component. This also means they are now swappable with items already on your head.
- The Pillaring enchantment now more reliably mines additional blocks with Fortune or Silk Touch, if the tool has those enchantments.
- Damage dealt by Crossbow arrows enchanted with Exhalation no longer increases if the player has the Strength effect.
- The Dragonhide Armor items now all have unique textures, and no longer have Armor Trims already applied.
Dragons:
- Added the 10,000 Dragon, to celebrate Dragonkind Evolved surpassing 10,000 downloads! It appears only and always as the 30th Dragon in a world (like the Last Dragon), and has the stats of a Ferocious Dragon. Check the updated description for more information about this fight.
Crystals:
- Added the 10,000 Crystal. This End Crystal can only spawn during the 10,000 Dragon fight, and only one can exist at a time. While there is a 10,000 Crystal, all other End Crystals are invulnerable.
Rewards:
- Optimized the way the Dragonheart Anchor tracks the player's health.
- Added Dragon Lungs as a possible Enchanted Book enchantment.
- Added Wingspan as a possible Enchanted Book enchantment.
Rewards:
- Fixed a bug that caused most Dragon Items' sound effects to not be audible outside of the End.
- Fixed a bug that could cause the Draconic Scepter's charge attack to damage the user.
General:
- Fixed an issue that caused the mod to disable all RPs.
General:
- Made the Dragonkind Evolved root advancement grant when you kill a Dragon. This will make subsequent advancements like those for defeating an Omminous Dragon or collecting every custom loot item visible before they're obtained, since they're not intended to be hidden.
- Fixed an issue with the Dragonskull Shield model.
Dragons:
- All Dragons now destroy flowing water that they fly through. This will help prevent them from getting stuck in waterfalls, which is default behavior of Ender Dragons in vanilla, but removes the challenge that Dragonkind is meant to add.
Rewards:
- All Dragons now drop more loot on average. This is separate from the custom loot items, which still only drop at a rate of one per Dragon, or two per Ominous Dragon.
