Description from the author on Modrinth

THIS MOD REQUIRES CITADEL

THIS MOD REQUIRES LLIB FOR MINECRAFT VERSIONS 1.12.2 AND LOWER

For hundreds of years, Dragons have roamed the lands of the Known World. They are not simply pests and menaces, but the main cause of the loss of many lives. Only a brave few can slay a dragon. Even less can tame one.

Welcome, to Ice and Fire.

Ice and Fire is a mod created by both Raptorfarian and Alexthe666, which hopes to add dragons in a proper way. Currently, Dragons have two types: Ice and Fire. Fire Dragons breathe fire and roam most of the habitable world, whilst Ice Dragons inhabit the coldest places known to man and freeze their prey to death. Both kinds of dragons spawn naturally as adults. And news has reached us of a new discovery: Lightning dragons, powerful nocturnal creatures that deal blasting bolts of lighting to kill their prey.

In 1.2.0, Hippogryphs, Gorgons, and Pixies have been added.

In 1.3.0, Dragons were redone and Cyclopes have been added.

In 1.4.0, Sirens, Hippocampi, and Death worms have been added.

In 1.5.0, Cockatrices, Stymphalian Birds, and Trolls have been added.

In 1.6.0, Myrmex have been added.

In 1.7.0, Amphitheres and Sea Serpents have been added.

In 1.8.0, Dragons were redone and support was added for many other mods.

In 1.9.0, Dread Liches and Hydras have been added.

In 2.0.0, Lightning dragons have been added.

In 2.1.0, Ghosts have been added.

We plan on including additional mythical creatures. For further details check out our discord (for more up to date previews)

Ice and Fire aims to bring to you a revolutionary dragon experience.
We allow role players and mod pack makers to have access to all
the basic and advanced needs of a dragon hunter and tamer role. These
include:

Dragon skeletons - these can be found in desert biomes and can be used to collect a few bones

Dragon roosts and caverns - where you can fight dragons and find grand treasures

Dragon eggs - which can be found in dragon caves

Dragon taming and riding - mount up your tamed dragons and even armour them

Dragon equipment - craft tools and weapons from dragon bones and armours from dragon scales

Bestiary - for collecting and learning information with regards to dragons
In additional updates we will invest time in other mythical monsters and creatures.

Ice and Fire also provides custom support for the following other mods:

  • Just Enough Items (JEI)
  • TheOneProbe
  • HWYLA
  • Thaumcraft
  • CraftTweaker(see the documentation here)
  • Tinker's Construct
