# Before you read, personal thanks to Apotheotic Sudios for letting me upload retextures from their project! Thanks to their team for "Excalibur | Ice and Fire" You're cordially invited to give their team's projects a good try in curseforge! | Check out the other dragon retextures! Make sure you're using the compatible version and pack if you are either from Community edition or base I&F! (Currently, you're in base Ice and Fire) | ### CREDITS: Apotheotic_Studios: Creator of "Excalibur | Ice and Fire" Resourcepack Maffhew: Creator of "Excalibur" Resourcepack Sbom_xela: Creator of "Ice and Fire: Dragons" mod IAFEnvoy: Creator of "IceAdndFire: Community Edition" fork mod ### SPECIAL MENTIONS: Syric: Creator of Ice and Fire: Emissive dragons mod If you want to use this resourcepack for a Modpack feel free to do so :D! Credit me and the cool people listed above if they fit your modpack's contents first though :3 *Any suggestions for textures are welcomed, but I won't be able to satisfy bug reports. I have ported the resourcepack to as many versions as it was possible, yet for some reason 1.17 doesn't want to run on my PC. Come join the Discord server for any problems with the textures or suggestions if you wish! # Excalibur | Ice and Fire | Tabla's Dragons Retexture. This started as a fun retexture of the dragon textures from "Excalibur | Ice and Fire" for my friend and I by making the different dragons in the mod unique in their own ways! Each of the 12 dragon textures has a design theme to match with their element, growth stage and other minecraft related things as well! The purpose of this resourcepack is that dragons can be visually stunning, that you can identify between male and female (Useful for egg hunting) and be able to tell what stage the dragon you are looking at is. This resourcepack works more immersively when used with Excalibur and Excalibur | Ice and fire | but does not directly require them. ![One of the dragon retextures. The red dragon inside a volcanic crater with a clear view of the sky and the lava below it](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/288c17a48769c97a9e22deed7ac715800ab6d832.png) Here for example you can see the red fire dragon! They are colured to match the nether blocks and as such have netherite textures in their horns >:D. This is a stage 3 female dragon in the picture, you can tell it's a female because it has no magma textures in her wings unlike males. In the final stages, the red dragon becomes more vibrant and darker. All dragons have a very identifiable difference for each of their stages but not big enough to make them too obvious, the same happens with male and female! In the case of the red dragons for example, their backs have almost black stripes running along the body and a faint red line going across the middle of their underside when they are stage 5. In general, the wings of the males will be more dazzling and dapper than those of the females, so watch out for those wings dragon hunters. # Spoilers from here! | ## The Fire Dragons! ### Green Fire Dragon.

Spoiler

I gave the green dragon the nickname "Overgrown" because of how it looks. This fire dragon has the main theme of the Lush Caves' greens and Azalea flowers! The stage 5 green dragon is distinguished best by the azalea flowers growing on its back and the males, like the stage 4 one in the picture, have their wings completely covered in flowering azalea growth. As they grow older, their underside becomes pinker and more lush grows on their backs. Tip: Stage 4 dragons have a noticeable lush on their body, keep an eye out for that. ![a green dragon with leafy hide sleeping in a lush cave](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/b246aac06c3338e3b07dbd58c6d8c831902b8438_0.webp)

### Grey Fire Dragon.

Spoiler

Lovingly nicknamed this one "Gilded" fire dragon because of its wonderful golden horns and wings. The main theme behind this one is fairly simple, Fire Dragons are tied to gold! And because there isn't a gold dragon, the grey dragon would work just fine. With ashy scales and golden lining in their horns, claws and wing membranes. Males have golden leopard markings in their wings and females have plain gold in their final stage. The image here shows you a stage 4 male inside his den with some lighting to help see him, because these guys camouflage very well inside their dens! ![A dragon with gray back and golden belly inside its den while surrounded by gold in the dark](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/937040eb03c4e36924bf778daf2bf95091ccc535_0.webp)

### Bronze Fire Dragon.

Spoiler

The Bronze dragon, similar to the green and red ones, was given a biome change but in a more desolate way. The Bronze dragon became the Dune Fire Dragon. This is the new and updated version of the first texture I made, any version below v5 will look different. By taking notes from the original Excalibur Ice and Fire and my own old retexture's strengths, this new beast came to be. Now, this dragon looks like it rightfully belongs in the desert biomes of all types, not only the sandy deserts but the badlands as well. The main features it has are the tattered wings and the rattlesnake tail that runs down to the very tip of its rattle as well as that menacing wild-west face! ![two dragons veiled in a sandstorm, their bodies barely visible. Only a fiery mouth visible from the dust.](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/233ca03bd0549d378ae39a97b677be19e86c21b0_0.webp) The image here shows a stage 3 female Bronze dragon in a sandstorm and Stage 5 male behind her. Males will have a wonderful cheetah pattern on their wings and a bone coloured neck which, when combined with the patterns on its body, will make them look like real sand wraiths of the desert.

## The Ice Dragons. ### Blue Ice Dragon.

Spoiler

The Blue Ice dragon follows a similar biome themed design like the previous Fire Dragons, only that in this case, this dragon is best fitted in biomes with large concentrations of ice. To make the design more appealing, the wings of males have a frost pattern so as to 'Break with the ice'. In Stage 5, the dragons' underbelly has lilac glow but in stage 4 it's blue! Something remarkable is the shape of their wings, opened up and pointy like triangles. In the image, you can see a stage 4 male blue ice dragon. ![a large dark blue dragon flying over the sunset with dimm northern lights glowing](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/ce64d840d30ccf97481aa7be7323ead9aae34400.png)

### White Ice Dragon.

Spoiler

For all of you who enjoy a pure white, no colours, or the likes, I'm sorry to tell you this is not the case, unless you go for a female White Ice dragon ;). The White dragon I made has some accents of blue and pink in certain areas so that the texture doesn't become more of an eyesore than it already is at broad daylight. There are details made with teal as it grows older and to some, it may look more like a spotted white dragon than a pure white dragon. In the image, you can clearly see the teal and deep blue spots on the wings that indicate this is a stage 3 male dragon. ![A white dragon eclipsing the morning sun](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/f4349ff8a65539b2e10f1e6b3bfd88663239b75f.png)

### Silver Ice Dragon.

Spoiler

Made purely from the metal and with the hopes it looks metallic enough, the silver dragon is the one with the simplest design philosophy. Silver dragons have a dark-gray coat and get progressively darker as they age. The silver dragon and the white dragon in the base mod are roughly similar, whereas in this resourcepack they are fairly easy to tell apart now. This silver dragon has unique pointy wings like harpoons and glowing cyan rune-shaped scales on the sides of their body! In the image, you can see a stage 3 female silver ice dragon ![silver dragon attacking with its icy breath](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/58ee71157ef0035e1facba4fe5cff7318ef23ced_0.webp)

### Sapphire Ice Dragon.

Spoiler

A gorgeous dark scaled dragon. The Sapphire Ice dragon is an elegant dragon with the themes of the original mod's gemstone all around it. In earlier stages, it starts off gray and dull and becomes much more vibrant as the sapphires on its wings and back grow more noticeable. Similar to the White Ice dragon, only the males have details in their wings which in this case comes in the form of fanned sapphires. In the image, you can see such example, a stage 3 male sapphire dragon. (The old image is in gallery now! ![a sapphire dragon flying at night amidst a storm](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/4a4a85e513659d144d21492f137ed3a88fd34e3d_0.webp)

## The Lightning Dragons. ### Electric Blue Dragon.

Spoiler

Introducing the Lighting dragons, the Electric blue dragon has become the "Storm dragon" both of the colours characteristics of storms: Blue and Violet. The main theme of this dragon is representing a storm at dusk, portraying the colours of the stormy sunset at its fully grown stage. This dragon presents a roughly similar design that the original "Excalibur | Ice and Fire" resourcepack in the earlier stages, but slowly builds up those dazzling colours. Males of these species have white lightning in their wings while the females have an empty striped fan wing pattern. ![a dragon posing like that horse looking at the sea meme](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/e309c3de1c74d18ce814375b57b107574d2b84c1_0.webp)

### Amethyst Lightning Dragon.

Spoiler

Glamorous and very regal looking, the Amethyst Lighting dragon now looks like it came out of a geode! The main theme for this dragon is very obvious: To look like an amethyst geode. The dragon's amethysts will become more and more visible as it grows. Similar to the other gemstone themed dragon, the sapphire ice dragon, both genders will present gems in their wings. With males presenting more gems all through their wings. The dragon in the image is a stage 4 male amethyst dragon, however his wings aren't really visible inside the geode. ![a glamourous dark dragon with white underbelly and crystal horns](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/306795b7c931477099b19c7b78acf6cee25580d8_0.webp)

### Copper Lightning Dragon.

Spoiler

A very bright and saturated dragon. The main theme for the Copper dragon is simple, to show its stage all the same as how copper does in minecraft: Aging and turning more green. However, because the copper dragon can't be completely green at stage 5, it instead shows the oxidation through its horns and wings. Males have colourful oxidised green wings and the females have slight oxidation at the end of their wings. As seen in the image, this is a stage 5 male copper dragon inside his den. ![a large copper dragon resting peacefully in its lair](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/c583dc1f4aec90991b828403c3be03c486d3087e_0.webp)

### Black Lightning Dragon.

Spoiler

A personal favourite, the black dragon now takes to the starry skies unnoticed. The design theme behind this dragon is linked to the nocturnal habits of the lightning dragons and taking it a next step further. The older the Black dragon grows, the more stars and darker it will become. In the image, if you can see it ;), a stage 5 female black dragon is flying. ![a looming figure in the dark of night above a savanna village](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/1e50cb0218119a66085c6e64119ebef29be1dd7a_0.webp)

# Updates/Versions ## 1. ??? Bro i have no idea what I changed on update 1. But I think it was a texture issue with the gilded dragon. (Still have no clue as time of writing this in update 5 | ## 2. Egg Update! Now eggs and dragons match each of the different species and their different colours! This is a nitpicky update, yet I hope that if you enjoy the models of dragons, you also get to enjoy the new egg textures for both models and icons! ![some dragon eggs in their podiums and in their item frames](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/f36c85043e6baf8c42114ab8b161a6131e3e62b2.png) | ## 3. Stripes and horns update >:) In this update, I changed how the wings of the male amethyst dragon looks like! Before it was quite hard to tell them apart, now they are easier to tell who is who! The image below shows a male and female in flight (New male on the left and the female on the right) ![two dragons flying over a savanna ravine, male and female](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/b635716b336a9e05fe6a27c40ab951e83bbc8139.png) Then the dragon horns! This is much more of a personal pick, however, I wanted the horns to be distinct from one another, specially for those who have eyesight problems or conditions that make it harder to distinguish things. ![item frames whoing the different dragon horns](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/a0123e66c91f17eb9985c8120683d7d613e8e375.png) | ## 4. Rise and shine In this update I learnt I can make them glow >:) Certain dragons now have unique glowing effects on their textures and additionally, silver dragons and blue ice dragons have a brand new coat make-over! Hope you enjoy the new textures and make sure to join the discord server! I update the textures based on the feedback I get there from comments and votes. And you can enjoy early access to some work early as well! (Image credit goes to SalvaZXD in discord! ![a silver dragon flying at night under the moon](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/a5f3fe9e2daab5f19d7c673fe090d1bfd73eec0d_0.webp) It is very much worth mentioning... what I mentioned above ALWAYS GLOWING DRAGONS BY: SYRIKAL in Modrinth. Some of the textures feature emissives in this update! And this man has gone out of his way in a heartbeat to ensure that dragons will glow no matter if they are asleep or not! If you like this idea, PLEASE do install this mod. By default, from Update/Version 5, all dragon textures that glow are compatible with his mod. For more info, visit his modpage! | ## 5. A Blazing Dune Update! In this update/version, our dear Desert Dragon has seen some changes! Now it's become the Dune dragon with brand new unique textures!! Take out your cowboy hats and dare fight this new forajido in town! Similar to before, the males are the only ones with patterns in their wings but they have new additions to better point them out if you can't see their wings (for some reason). The males have very distinct bone coloured necks and face, which is a colour close to white for those who don't know. So in very early stages you will be able to tell them apart really easily. Females on the other hand don't have bone-coloured necks and faces but sand-coloured, sharing the same pattern but still looking duller than their counterparts. ![a dragon veiled in a sandstorm](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/233ca03bd0549d378ae39a97b677be19e86c21b0_0.webp) Something you may have noticed as well are the changes to the fire breath! This update also changes the breath on both fire and ice dragons in search of a more 'unnatural' but 'magical' approach. Fire has smoke and the ice snow looks like a cloud of frozen gales. But there's more! A few items have been worked on, this time it's the Crystals' turn! Each come in a distinct shape and a different design when linked to a dragon, so hope that whoever uses these finds them fitting enough! ![the 3 dragons crystals glowing in front of two dragons breathing into dragon forges](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/654d81d2e6561b88c5c498fc6c93c59bec3d567b.png) | In works: Dragon Armour Update. ![a fire dragon with a knight's visor on its hea](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/ac4344a8b7ced36979e5ab9eb0ea95c8d764e2bc_0.webp) ![a preview of a white dragon with armour like that of vikings](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/0ed0380ad537f10be0553f460555b7b857f38356.png)
