Dragonkind Evolved | End Battle Reborn

General:

• Updated Pack format to 48, and updated syntax and directories for 1.21. This version is no longer compatible with Minecraft 1.20.6 or lower.
• Added Ominous Dragon Fights, based on a suggestion from @rx. If an Ender Dragon is respawned while any player(s) in the fight area has Bad Omen, they will lose Bad Omen and an Ominous Dragon Fight will start.
  • The difficulty of the fight is increased by 1 tier. This affects the types of Dragon and Crystals that can appear, the Health of the Dragon, and how many times End Crystals can regenerate.
  • Regardless of the difficulty tier, the dragon will always be called an "Ominous X Dragon"
  • Most Dragons and End Crystals that use periodic abilities will use those abilities more frequently.
  • All Dragon Types will use their post-End Crystal abilities throughout the fight, even if there are still End Crystals. These are also used more frequently.
  • When defeated, the Dragon drops the reward amount relative to the increased difficulty tier. Additionally, this loot is doubled, including the unique Dragon Item. (This can result in getting two of the same item.)
• Added an Advancement for defeating an Ominous Dragon.
• Added an Advancement for collecting each custom reward item.

Dragons:

• Added the Primordial difficulty tier. Right now this can only be accessed through Ominous Dragon Fights, as the increased tier from Ferocious.
  • Primordial Dragons have 1000 Health. They are also more likely to be Dragon types beyond the Last Dragon, just like Ferocious Dragons.
• Added the Desert Dragon.
  • Only appears at Ferocious+ difficulty
  • Converts the ground below it to sand with frequent cacti
  • Shoots actual, unblockable Fireballs very frequently
  • Periodically summons Hoglin servants
  • Breath Clouds give Hunger, significant Slowness, and a long duration of Mining Fatigue
• Added the Thunder Dragon, based on a suggestion by Discord user @leaftree.
  • Only appears at Ferocious+ difficulty
  • Creates permanent electrical hazards encircling the arena
  • Breath attack summons lightning instead of Area Effect Clouds
  • Breath Clouds created by fireballs give Strong Instant Damage + significant Speed
  • Flies slightly faster
  • Perches less often
  • Always drops a Trident enchanted with Channeling

Rewards:

• All Dragons now have a chance to drop an Ominous Bottle.
• Made all custom items use custom data-driven Enchantments. This means that the behavior of the various custom items can be applied to other items, if they are enchanted appropriately. This also had some positive side effects.
  • Dragonyield has been buffed, and does not require all 4 pieces of armor to be enchanted with it for it to take effect.
  • The Curse of Deterioration is now properly considered a curse, and cannot be removed with a Grindstone.
  • You can now enchant your dragon items with other enchantments, and they will display appropriately.
• Dragons can now drop Enchanted Books that are enchanted with the custom enchantments that come natively on the custom items.
  • This will only occur if the player selected when a Dragon is killed currently possess all other custom items, except the Dragonheart Anchor.
  • Not all enchantments are available in this way, but some can be stronger than they appear on the custom items.
• The Dragontooth Pickaxe now mines blocks that require a Diamond Pickaxe more efficiently than any other Pickaxe. This quality is specific to the Dragontooth Pickaxe, not the Pillaring Enchantment.
