About Dragonkind Evolved | End Battle Reborn
From ModrinthAn upgrade to the Ender Dragon fight that builds upon and complements the vanilla fight, and incentivizes respawning the Ender Dragon to face new challenges and earn unique loot.
End Battle Reborn
Dragonkind Evolved builds upon the vanilla Ender Dragon fight. Rather than recreate the battle from scratch, it adds additional features and mechanics to increase difficulty and complexity while holding true to the general gameplay loop introduced by Vanilla.
Additionally, it incentivizes and rewards respawning the Ender Dragon. While the initial Ender Dragon fight does include changes, each successive battle will feature new Dragon types and End Crystal mechanics, both of which will continue to scale in difficulty as you slay more and more Ender Dragons.
Ender Dragons
All Ender Dragons have more health than normal, and will have even more health depending on how many times it has been respawned. This corresponds to its difficulty level (Fledgeling, Powerful, Cruel, Immortal, Ferocious, Primordial).
Whenever an Ender Dragon is respawned, it will gain a random Type, which changes or adds onto its behavior. This is denoted by the boss bar name as well as particles emitted by the Dragon. Some Dragon Types only appear at lower or higher difficulty levels.
Shared Behavior
All Ender Dragons share a variety of attacks and behaviors that they use periodically, which are split into "Standard" and "Desperate". Standard attacks will be used at all times by all Dragon types. Desperate behavior/attacks will only be used if either:
- The Dragon is the vanilla Ender Dragon type
- The Dragon is Ominous
- There are no remaining End Crystals
Standard
- Slam. The Dragon slams its whole body down on the ground, creating a damaging explosion in the surrounding area, before quickly rising back up to altitude
- Summon End Rod Spikes. These work similarly to Evoker Fangs, and are summoned when the Dragon is perching or preparing to perch, or as a last resort
- Summon Shulker Bullets. This summons a ring of 12 Shulker Bullets around the Dragon, which will begin to target random players after a few moments. If there are already Shulker Bullets in the area, it will summon End Rod Spikes, instead
Desperate
- Ground all players. Whenever the Dragon selects any attack while Desperate, if there are any flying players, it will give all players high gravity for 20 seconds, forcing them to (safely) land if flying with Elytra, and preventing them from taking off right away
- Meteor Storm. An additional attack the Dragon can select while Desperate. Summons a volley of Dragon Fireballs in the sky over the course of several seconds that cover the arena in Dragon Breath Clouds. If the Dragon is a Warped Dragon, this also removes any existing Dragon Breath Clouds
