Still experimental, unable to trigger the vanilla Dragon combat system properly
do not install it in your survival save or any other save you value.

————————————————————————————————————

Ever feel that the Enderdragon is so innocent? She never does anything bad to the overworld, but players travel so far just to kill her.

Well, I cannot stop this (cuz the game needs a boss), but I can make her guilty, just like the evil dragons in European folktales.

With this datapack, the dragon will appear in the overworld every 14 days, she will hover above the player, drop a dragon fireball (which releases the dragon breath in the centre and poisonous dragon cloud around it), and disappear after a few minutes. Before she disappears, she will drop another fireball.

Certainly You can collect the dragon breath released in the centre, but be careful cuz the dragon cloud has a large radius, you may have to dig down to avoid it.

This event will keep happening till the player kill the dragon in the End dimension. Now, you finally have a decent reason to kill the dragon!

Currently, this pack is only an experimental version. If you’re in the house or caves or under a tree when the dragon raid happens, the poisonous dragon cloud will permeate through the blocks to harm you.


Further features:
-The dragon will appear more randomly, making it more interesting and challenging.
-The dragon will have more actions, like flying around and making damage, rather than just hovering and dropping fireballs (But right now it seems to be barely possible).
-I wish to make it become a real raid, just like the illager raid.

I’m a new bee in datapack making, I don’t know much yet, but I’ve a bunch of ideas. If you have the time and interest to be my mentor, feel free to contact me, we can make more fun for the community.
