Book Of Dragons: Roleplayable Dragons

RP Dragons: Playable Dragon Addon

RP Dragons is an addon for Book of Dragons that allows players to actually become dragons instead of just riding them. The mod uses the original dragons, animations and abilities from Book of Dragons and FAUNA Engine, while adding new controls, progression and features designed around playing as a dragon.

There are currently 10 playable species, including the Night Fury, Skrill, Monstrous Nightmare, Speed Stinger, Deadly Nadder, Gronckle, Hideous Zippleback, Whispering Death, Terrible Terror and Hobgobbler. Each dragon keeps its own abilities and movement, so playing as one species feels different from playing as another.

Dragon Growth

Players start at just 0.1x their dragon's normal size and slowly grow into adulthood. Baby dragons have very little health and can only use their bite attacks. As they get older, their health and damage increase, and they unlock their species' abilities once they reach the Teen stage.

After reaching adulthood, players can choose what size they want their dragon to stay at without losing their abilities or progression.

Titan Wings

Every playable dragon has its own hidden challenges that can eventually unlock Titan Wing. Titans start at 1.1x their normal size and can continue growing up to 1.7x.

Growing as a Titan takes time. Each additional 0.1x of growth requires 10 dragon kills within 3 Minecraft days. Titans also gain increased health, stronger attacks, faster flight, larger stamina and Bile reserves, and several other advantages.

The tradeoff is that Titans need more food and sleep. They can rest whenever they want, though, and gradually recover while sleeping instead of skipping the night.

Bonding and Riding

Dragon players can bond with human players and allow them to ride on their backs. The dragon player controls the movement and abilities while the bonded human rides along.

Dragons can also grab other players using FAUNA's original grabbing system, including carrying and releasing them.

There's also support for Airo's Commands+, allowing bonded players and dragons to track each other using the compass.

Customization and Controls

The mod includes its own dragon menus for changing colors, genetics, growth and other settings. Dragon movement, abilities and combat are controlled directly by the player, with adjustable camera angles for larger dragons.

Speed Stingers also have their own super-speed system, allowing them to reach speeds of up to 30 blocks per second, along with their usual tail attacks and paralysis abilities.

Current Development

RP Dragons is still being worked on, so some features may need adjustments or fixes as development continues. For now, becoming a dragon is handled through admin commands rather than a survival unlocking system.

Requirements:

• Minecraft Forge 1.20.1

• Book of Dragons 1.4.1

• FAUNA Engine 1.2

• Pehkui for dragon scaling

RP Dragons is a separate addon and does not replace the original Book of Dragons mod. This mod also DOES NOT use any engine code, nor any code from any other addons. I have been working on this mod for a while just now deciding to release a public version.
