3D Ender Dragon Fireball

by Fluffbuck3t

3D Ender Dragon Fireball replaces the flat sprite of the Ender Dragon's fireball with a three-dimensional model during the dragon fight.

What it does

The mod adds rendering support so the fireball the Ender Dragon fires is drawn as a 3D object instead of the original 2D texture. The author built it after noticing the game did not use a model for that projectile, even with model-replacement mods such as Entity Model Features installed. Only the client needs it, so players can join servers without installing anything.

Fabric is the only loader with files, and the latest build, 1.0.0 for 1.21.7, was published on 2026-01-23 on the beta channel. Builds cover 1.21.4 – 1.21.7, and the mod is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. 3D dragon fireball

    The Ender Dragon's fireball is rendered as a 3D model during the dragon fight instead of a flat sprite.

  2. Swappable fireball model

    The fireball model can be replaced through Entity Model Features, which the author tested with this mod.

  3. Works beside Particle Core

    The author notes the mod works alongside Particle Core, so both can run in the same client.

What the author says

I wanted to add a 3D replacement for the 2D sprite that the game uses for the Ender dragon_fireball texture/model. But I noticed that the game didn't have a way to use the model I created, even using mods such as Entity Model Features(EMF). So this mod is supposed to add rendering support to make the fireball 3D…
