■ INSTALLATION GUIDE ■
■ If you dream of becoming a dragon in Minecraft like me, then this mod is for you! ■
■ Dragon Survival is a global modification for Minecraft centered around playable dragons. It doesn’t add new mounts to Minecraft - you become the dragon yourself! If you want, of course. Other players can remain human if they wish. In our mod, you don’t just change the player model - you get something much more! The mod was created by a true dragon enthusiast for other dragon lovers.
■ Dragon Survival completely transforms your gameplay and focuses it on becoming one of 3 types of dragons: forest, sea, or cave. Each type has its own characteristics and unique magic. A lot of soul has been poured into this mod, with numerous small details that make your gaming experience unique and unforgettable.
■ 3+ Dragon Species ■ 36 Magic Skills ■ Roleplay Emotions ■ Reputation and Dragon Hunters ■ Flight ■ Growth system ■ Treasures and Loot ■ Command /dragon ■ Castles and Dungeons ■ Customisation and Skins ■ Create your own custom species ■ Configs ■ Modpacks ■

📖 Permissions & FAQ
- I am categorically opposed to my dragons being used as background monsters. I do not permit the creation of add-ons, servers, modpacks, or any other content in which my dragon assets are used to create NPCs or mobs. A dragon should only be a player character. If you want background creatures, made your own assets or use other mods.
