Lex's Dragons
by Don't Care
Lex's Dragons, a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1, adds rideable dragons and wyverns that players can tame, fly and craft from vanilla materials.
What it does
Each variety is tied to its own materials, and the mod uses custom materials such as a pale ore to set the look of the creatures without making them feel out of place in vanilla Minecraft. Dragons can be ridden and flown once they are owned.
The mod is installed on both the server and each client, so players on a shared server need it as well. It requires Geckolib, which must be present for the animated models to load. Files are published for NeoForge only, with 1.0.3 for 1.21.1 as the latest build, released on 2025-07-08 under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Rideable dragons
Dragons can be mounted and flown, letting players travel across the world on a creature rather than on foot.
Four dragon varieties
Horned Wyvern, Albino Dragon, Ice Dragon and Amethyst Wyvern each have their own appearance and role in the game.
Vanilla-based crafting
Every dragon is craftable with vanilla Minecraft materials, with each recipe shown on the mod page.
Custom materials
Pale ore and other custom materials give the variants their distinct colouring while keeping the progression grounded in the base game.
