How do I install Dragon Gear?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on CurseForge — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

What Minecraft version does Dragon Gear work with?

The listing gives Minecraft 1.16.5, 1.16.3, 1.16.4. This is the version stated by the author or source site, not something we verified ourselves.

Dragon Gear

Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.16. File opened and checked on 16 Oct 2026; downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Forge only.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Latest version of Ice and Fire is very different and causes a crash. I am not currently able to fix it, see issue here

This mod allows you to use various materials from Ice and Fire for Silent Gear. The new materials are as follows:

-Elemental Dragon Bloods (as Coatings),

-Dragonbone

-Witherbone (rod)

-Deathworm Chitin (armor)

-Dragon Scale (armor)

-Phantasmal Ingot (coating)

-Dragonsteel

-Deathworm Chitin

-Myrmex Chitin

-Serpent Scales (armor)

-Troll Leather (armor)

Special thanks to the artist of Ice and Fire, Raptorfarian, for letting me adapt some textures for use in Dragon Gear.

Preemptive FAQ:

Will you backport this to x.y.z?

No, but you are able to if you really want; the mod is open-source.

Is this overpowered?
Yes.

What about Ice and Fire's Gems?

Probably won't add those, because they overlap with Silent Gems.

I changed Dragonsteel's stats in the Ice and Fire config, why didn't it change Dragon Gear's?

This is because my stats are not dependent on that config. You can override them with datapacks, just like any other SilentGear material. https://github.com/SilentChaos512/Silent-Gear/wiki/Materials
