Dragon Egg Game

by arvitus

Dragon Egg Game is a small capture-the-flag style minigame for survival multiplayer servers, built around the Dragon Egg that the Ender Dragon leaves behind.

What it does

Players compete for possession of the Dragon Egg. Whoever holds it places it somewhere accessible at their base, and everyone else tries to steal it and place it at their own base. Taking the egg from its holder is permitted only when that holder has been online recently or has been away for three days or more, and a player can conceal the egg so it cannot be taken, provided it remains possible to retrieve without destroying it.

The egg cannot be destroyed. If it is lost far from its owner, it teleports back to spawn. Tracking is automatic and recursive, so the egg is found even when it sits inside shulker boxes in chests. The mod is intended as a light, fun game, and the author asks that it not be taken too seriously.

Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric, and BlueMap is optional. Server owners install it, and players connect with no copy of their own. The code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the mod is open source. Files are published for Fabric only, across 17 release versions, 1.21 – 26.3.

Key features

  1. Dragon Egg capture

    The egg is the single objective, so every match revolves around who holds it and where it is placed.

  2. Theft rules

    Stealing is limited to bearers who are online or have been offline for at least 3 days, which protects inactive owners.

  3. Recursive tracking

    The egg is located automatically, including when it is stored in shulker boxes inside chests.

  4. Action system

    Actions run commands when set events occur, such as sending announcements, giving effects, or rewarding the egg holder over time.

What the author says

A Minecraft mod that adds a small, capture the flag-like minigame to your SMP, making use of the otherwise rarely used Dragon Egg. On our SMP Server, we never had any use for the Dragon Egg. After we defeat the Ender Dragon, someone would usually just take the Dragon Egg, put it in their Ender Chest and leave it…
