dragon egg craft
by Rolls_Royce
dragon egg craft is a data pack that adds a crafting recipe for duplicating the Dragon Egg, which players can use once the pack is installed.
What it does
Once the data pack is installed, a Dragon Egg can be crafted from one existing Dragon Egg along with iron, gold and diamond ingredients, yielding two Dragon Eggs. The recipe is the only addition, and it uses standard crafting, so no new block or screen is introduced.
The author notes that duplicating the egg is a rare item change in survival mode and can alter the balance of the game, so players are asked to use crafted Dragon Eggs responsibly to keep the challenge intact. The pack is distributed for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt through its data pack form and needs a server, while clients can join without it. Files are published for 1.21.2 – 26.3 at the latest, with the first release dated 2024-09-17 and the last update dated 2026-10-04.
The mod is distributed as all rights reserved and is not open source. Server owners who want the recipe can add the data pack; players connecting to that server do not need to install anything.
Key features

Single-item addition
