Scaled Dragon Fight 🌠

A lightweight server-side Fabric mod that dynamically scales the Ender Dragon's health based on the number of players in The End — now with support for delayed initial spawns and XP bar countdowns.

No installation is needed on the client — just drop it into your server's mods folder and configure it to your liking.

🔧 Features

  • 📈 Dynamic Health Scaling: The Ender Dragon's max health increases with each eligible player in The End.
  • ⏱️ Initial Spawn Delay: Optionally delay the very first dragon spawn and show a countdown on players’ XP bars.
  • ⚙️ Server-Side Only: No client installation required — perfect for modded or vanilla-compatible SMPs.
  • 🔧 Configurable: Customize how scaling and spawn delays work via a simple .properties config file.
  • 📢 Broadcast Messages: Optional announcements when a scaled dragon appears.
  • 🛠️ In-Game Reload: /scaleddragonfight reload command to reload configuration without restarting the server.

🗂️ Configuration

After first launch, a config file will be generated at:

/config/scaleddragonfight.properties

You can configure:

enableMod=true                          # Enable or disable the mod
scaleWithOnePlayer=false                # Whether scaling starts with the first player
countCreativeModePlayers=false          # Include creative players in scaling
baseDragonHealth=200.0                  # Base health of the Ender Dragon
additionalHealthPerPlayer=100.0         # Health added per eligible player
enableBroadcast=true                    # Enable broadcast when dragon spawns

# Initial Spawn Delay
enableInitialSpawnDelay=true            # Delay the first dragon spawn in The End
initialSpawnDelaySeconds=60             # Time (in seconds) before first dragon spawns
showSpawnDelayCountdown=true            # Show countdown above XP bar during delay
