Dragon Survival Compatibility
by Cadentem
With Dragon Survival Compatibility installed, Dragon Survival dragons work with a set of other mods, from Cold Sweat and Jade to Iron's Spells.
What it does
The mod bridges Dragon Survival and a list of other mods. Each compatibility layer loads only when the matching mod is present, and any layer can be switched off in the config. Covered features include dragon attack animations, a restored vanilla sweep attack for the dragon claw, temperature attributes set per dragon type, and soulbound Echorite and Ultimerite items that keep working in the dragon claw inventory slot.
The claw inventory tool uses the dragon's innate harvest level plus any bonus gained with the dragon, and it is checked against the block being broken. Teleporting dropped items, break affixes and other tool effects are handled through added support for Telepathic, Omnetic, Radial and Terrastomp. The server and every player need the mod installed. It is published for Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1, and its files cover 1.19.2, 1.20 and 1.20.1 in total. The mod requires Dragon Survival and is released under the MIT License as open source.
