Archipelago Additions
Archipelago Additions expands the Isle of Berk mod with many extra dragons, adding remodelled variants alongside the dragons already in that mod.
What it does
The mod adds a large number of dragons to the Isle of Berk mod. Remodelled variants of existing dragons are added without replacing the ones already present, which is made possible by the Isle of Berk Variant Loader. Because the variants sit next to the originals, some of their abilities may not match their appearance.
Four required dependencies must be installed with it: Geckolib, Isle of Berk, Isle of Berk Addons and Isle of Berk Variant Loader. Archipelago Additions is Forge-only and is published for 1.18.2, with 2.5.5-1.18.2 as the latest Forge file. The server must run it, while players may add it as an optional extra. Configs come inside the release zip and are extracted and installed the usual way. The code is not open source, and the project is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Many added dragons
The expansion includes a large set of dragons in addition to those already provided by the Isle of Berk mod.
Remodelled variants
Variants of existing dragons are added as new models, so the same species can appear in several designs.
Mixed abilities
Variant dragons can carry abilities that do not match their look, a result of adding them beside the originals.
Extractable configs
Configuration files are stored inside the release zip and are copied into the config folder by hand.
