DMR: Natural Spawn
by Fantaz
DMR: Natural Spawn changes where and when Dragon Mounts Remastered mounts appear, so breeds turn up in the wild without an egg or a command.
What it does
Dragon Mounts Remastered breeds are added to the world's natural spawning. Each breed follows its own rule set: Overworld dragons appear only at night, and a few breeds replace ordinary animals in matching places. Cold biomes bring in Ice Dragons, forests and lush areas bring in Lush Dragons alongside chickens, cows, pigs, sheep and bees, and water edges bring in Water Dragons near turtles and frogs. Underground, the mod places Amethyst, Sculk, Axolotl and Bat dragons, while the Nether and End receive Fire, Magma Cube, Ghost and Shulker types among their usual mobs.
Some replacement spawns are rare: a breed has a 0.5% chance to take the place of a matching mob. Mounts bred by players do not count toward natural spawning, and a bred pair has a 25% chance of producing a baby dragon in the world. The mod requires Dragon Mounts Remastered, which supplies the mounts themselves. It runs on the server, so players can join without it, and the mod is released under the MIT License.
Key features
Natural breed spawns
Dragon Mounts Remastered breeds appear in the world as wild spawns, grouped by biome, height and dimension.
Rare replacement chance
Matching vanilla animals and mobs are swapped for a dragon breed with a 0.5% chance.
Night-only Overworld dragons
The Overworld breed set only spawns during the night, which keeps daytime landscapes unchanged.
Parent-linked babies
Spawned parents produce a baby dragon 25% of the time, and mounts bred by players do not add to the count.

How it compares
DMR: Phantom Dragon is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 with the same server-required, client-optional environment and the MIT License, but it adds a different dragon type rather than changing spawns. Mount Charge Damage is server-side only, runs on NeoForge for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 and is released under All rights reserved, so it changes combat rather than spawning. Nice Baby Mounts is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, supports Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21.3 – 1.21.5, and is server required with client optional.
