Dragons Revamped
by rolyPolyVole
Dragons Revamped reworks the Ender Dragon fight on Fabric, with a harder dragon, new attack patterns and a miniboss that appears during the battle.
What it does
The mod replaces the vanilla Ender Dragon encounter with a longer, more difficult fight. The dragon's health scales with the number of players fighting it, and reaching half health triggers an event that adds a variant without a horse. Charges, fireball volleys and strikes on exposed players all deal heavy damage, and no attack can be repeated twice in a row, so players have to rotate their approach.
The dragon is not the only change. End crystals within a 12-block radius become immune to damage, and an indestructible crystal orbits the arena until it is killed, then explodes and heals the dragon. End spikes are generated procedurally. A miniboss skeleton appears a few minutes into the fight, depending on the number of players, and switches between bow, spear and sword depending on its distance from the target. It rides a fast horse that can run up walls three blocks tall.
Dragons Revamped runs on the server only, so players join without installing it. It requires Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin, and its latest file is 1.1.1 for 1.21.11, published on 2026-04-29. The source code is public, and the mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, making it open source.
Key features
Scaling dragon health
The dragon's health rises with the number of players in the fight, so groups of different sizes face a comparable challenge.
Dragon attack patterns
Charges aimed at the nearest player, explosive fireball volleys and delayed lightning strikes on exposed players are the main attacks.
Crystal and spike mechanics
Crystals gain damage immunity near the dragon, an orbiting crystal explodes and heals it, and procedurally generated spikes shape the arena.
Miniboss and mounted skeleton
A miniboss spawns during the fight and switches weapons by distance, riding a horse with Netherite Horse Armor.

What the author says
This is my attempt at reworking the Ender Dragon Fight. The vanilla fight is very easy and uninteresting, so this mod aims to fix that. – Increased health that scales with the number of fighting players
