HIJrax's Dragon Egg Mod
by HIJrax
HIJrax's Dragon Egg Mod changes how the dragon egg behaves once a player obtains it, making it harder to hide and giving the holder extra health.
What it does
Holding the dragon egg raises the player's maximum health to 20 hearts, up from the normal 10. A crown appears above the holder's head, and the nametag and tab list entry show in purple, so other players can see who carries it. The mod changes the egg's rules so it keeps being tracked and cannot stay hidden away for long.
Storage is restricted: the egg cannot go into ender chests, bundles or shulker boxes, and it cannot be tucked away somewhere it is not found again. The mod is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source. Fabric API is a requirement on Fabric. The mod runs on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.8 only, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it.
Key features
Increased health for the holder
Whoever carries the dragon egg has their maximum health raised to 20 hearts.
Visible holder
A crown above the head plus a purple nametag, tab list entry and chat name mark the egg carrier.
Restricted storage
The egg cannot go into ender chests, bundles or shulker boxes, which keeps it out of sight.
Tracked egg
Changes to the egg's behavior keep it findable, so it cannot be hidden away forever.
