Ice And Fire: Dragon Care
by Orion_Dragon
With the IceAndFire Community Edition installed, Ice And Fire: Dragon Care adds long-term care systems for tamed dragons, from bonding and feeding to ash exposure and tracking.
What it does
Dragon Care expands the dragons of IceAndFire Community Edition from enemies and mounts into companions that have their own care needs. Players build a bond with a tamed dragon over time by feeding it and treating it carefully, and higher bond levels bring symbiotic effects that help the player. Dragon fruit can be planted, grown from seed and harvested for dragon-related use, and a dragon phone overlay lists tamed dragons with names, growth stages and distances in real time.
Ash from dragons is treated as an environmental hazard. An Ash Sensor finds toxic areas, and Ash Tablets treat poisoning. World structures such as ruined hunter camps, abandoned guild halls and ruined dragon forges can be found while exploring, and many values are set in configuration files, including structure generation, ash cleaning difficulty, tool durability, cooldowns and dragon behavior. The mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later and is still in active development. Forge and NeoForge builds cover 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and both sides need the mod. Just Enough Items (JEI) is optional.
