Play as Dragon: Gothic Edition [Abandoned]

Play as Dragon: Gothic Edition is a challenging medieval fantasy modpack that reshapes Minecraft into a long survival adventure inspired by Gothic, with players able to choose human play or become a dragon. Its world features hostile Gothic creatures and predators on the surface, undead in caves and dungeons, and a wilder ecosystem where domesticated animals are generally found in villages rather than roaming freely. Survival is deliberately demanding at first, with gradual progression, dangerous early exploration, tougher bosses, and dungeon spawners that cannot be dealt with by simply placing torches or breaking them. Dragon characters begin without wings and must travel to the End to earn flight, while humans can also play through the pack’s reworked survival experience. More than 300 quests guide players through topics including travel, hunting and fishing, tutorials, construction, and dragon survival, offering lore, explanations of the mods, and optional rewards. Hunting has its own skill system: books teach players to skin animals and collect trophies such as claws and fangs, which can be exchanged with merchants or used to earn the pack’s Magic Ore currency. Magic Ore also serves as a crafting and upgrade resource for armor and items, while treasure and travel are emphasized over routine mining and resource farming. Other survival changes include timed torches that must be relit with matches, revised villager and trader economies, restricted access to other dimensions through a compass and artifacts, and a different approach to Mending and powerful gear. The pack includes more than 250 balanced mods, extensive custom textures, datapacks and configs, and optional built-in shaders; many recipes and parts of Create are changed to fit its medieval setting.
