What mods does Age of Dragons require?

Age of Dragons 1.1.2 requires NeoForge 21.1.190+ on Minecraft 1.21.1. Photon, Curios API, and JEI are optional. MCreator Link was removed as a dependency in 1.1.1.

How do I get my first dragon?

Craft an Arcane Crystal and the three stations (Extracting Machine, Research Table, Purifier). Craft a Common Altar and Common Scrolls, summon Common Dragons, and kill them for Dragon Bones, Common Scales, and Dragon Blood. From 1.1.0 you can also tame Common and Uncommon dragons later with the Incubator and Beastiary (Tier 3 materials).

What are the six Common dragon elements?

Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, Ice, and Lightning. Each has its own scale. Elemental Ingot Tier 1 needs all six Common scales plus a Dragon Bone, an Iron Ingot, and Low Quality Dragon Blood.

How does the Purifier work?

Fuel goes in slot 1 (any item gives 9 charges) and Dragon Blood goes in the input slot. Every 7 seconds one blood item purifies into a random quality tier. Common Dragon Blood mostly rolls Poor (about 65%), Good Quality is a 1% roll, and higher input quality shifts the whole distribution upward.

What is the Prove of Will?

The first boss gate. Craft a Dark Rune (checkerboard of #c:stones and bones) and a Cursed Rune (stones and saplings), then defeat the Shaman (Shaman Heart) and the Cursed Blossom (Cursed Seed). Craft Prove of Will with four Elemental Ingot Tier 1, two Diamonds, Medium Quality Dragon Blood, the Cursed Seed, and the Shaman Heart.

What unlocks after the Prove of Justice?

The Prove of Justice combines Elemental Ingot Tier 2, Netherite Scrap, a Runestone Golem Core from Rune Dungeons, Good Quality Dragon Blood, a Storm Jewel, and an Echo Shard. It opens the Wraith King and Thorn King boss altars plus the Ancient Horn for summoning the Broodmother.

What is the endgame of Age of Dragons?

Rare Scrolls summon Rare dragons for Rare Scales, which make Elemental Ingot Tier 3. The four Singularity bosses (Fire, Ice, Lightning, Wind) drop Singularity Scales. Craft Singularity's Rage with six Singularity Scales, two Netherite Scrap, and a stick: +14 attack damage and infinite durability.

How much HP do Age of Dragons bosses have?

The Shaman is the entry gate at 400 HP and 25 armor. Mid bosses sit around 600 to 850 HP (Alicia the Storm, Faerie Dragon Queen, Storm Harpy, Runestone Golem). Thorn King, Wraith King, Broodmother, and the Singularity dragons are about 1,000 HP. Armor is the bigger swing: Broodmother and Wind Singularity sit at 3, while Ice, Fire, and Lightning Singularities sit at 100.

Are dragons tameable in Age of Dragons?

From 1.1.0, Common and Uncommon dragons can be tamed through the Incubator and Beastiary (both need Elemental Ingot Tier 3). Early progression is still summon-and-slay for scales, bones, and blood.

Age of Dragons

Summon elemental dragons from altars, climb the Common-to-Rare ladder, and push through the boss gates to Singularity gear.

20 min readNeoForge1.21+

Age of Dragons is a dark fantasy progression mod: elemental dragons, machines, summoning altars, and boss gates. You build the Extracting Machine, Research Table, and Purifier, summon Common dragons for scales and blood, then push through two boss gates to Uncommon and Rare content. Six elements (Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, Ice, Lightning) feed Elemental Ingots, and the endgame chases Singularity weapons that never break. NeoForge 1.21.1. Photon, Curios, and JEI are optional.

What Age of Dragons Actually Is

Age of Dragons is a comprehensive dark-fantasy progression mod by Bogerplayer for NeoForge 1.21.1. Dragons of six elements (Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, Ice, Lightning) answer summoning altars. Slaying them provides elemental scales, dragon bones, and raw dragon blood that feed into a multi-tiered crafting ladder.

Unlike traditional mob mods where dragons spawn arbitrarily, Age of Dragons gates every encounter behind crafted summoning scrolls, elemental altars, and strict progression milestones called Proves. You begin by fabricating industrial processing machines, refining dragon blood through RNG purifiers, conquering gatekeeper bosses, and eventually forging unbreakable Singularity's Rage weapons (+14 Attack Damage with Infinite Durability).

STEP 01Install

Prerequisites: NeoForge 1.21.1

Photon, Curios, and JEI are optional. MCreator Link is not required on 1.1.2.

Age of Dragons 1.1.2 requires NeoForge 21.1.190+ on Minecraft 1.21.1. Companion mods listed in the jar are optional:

Photon (optional): Particle shader engine for breath FX. If custom breath looks invisible, swap Photon's ldlib2 folder for the author-linked build.
Curios API (optional): Extra equipment slots for talismans, rings, and charms.
JEI (optional): Recipe lookup. The 3x3 grids on this page are the official shaped recipes from the 1.1.2 jar.
MCreator Link: Removed as a dependency in 1.1.1. Do not install it for current builds.

STEP 02Phase 1

Starter Machines: Extracting, Research, and Purification

Craft the 3 core industrial stations before attempting your first dragon summon.

Your dragon hunting journey starts in your workshop. You need three distinct stations to handle the drops:

Arcane Crystal

Page 1/5

➜

Arcane Crystal

Official arcane_crystal_rec. Craft this before the Extractor or Purifier.

Category: Machine Parts

Official 1.1.2 recipes. Custom items (Arcane Crystal, Dragon Bone, Red Rod) use vanilla icons as stand-ins. Hover a slot for the item id.

PRO TIP: Extracting Machine Slot 4 Bonus

The Extracting Machine has a special mechanic: Slot 4 grants a massive 64x Charge Multiplier per item processed compared to lower slots. Maximize your player XP level before bulk-extracting, as maximum charge storage directly scales with your player level!

STEP 03RNG Matrix

Purifier Mechanics & Blood Quality Tiers

Slot 1 is fuel, raw blood is the input, and every 7 seconds a quality roll occurs.

Raw Dragon Blood dropped from slain dragons cannot be used directly in advanced recipes. It must be processed inside the Blood Purifier. Place any burnable item in Slot 1 for fuel (gives 9 charges) and raw blood in the input.

Input Blood Tier	Poor Quality	Fair Quality	Good Quality	Fantastic Quality	Key Use Case
Common Dragon Blood	65%	25%	~1%	rare	Elemental Altars & Basic Scrolls
Rare Dragon Blood	20%	45%	25%	10%	Prove of Will & Prove of Justice

PRO TIP: Multi-Purifier Setup

Because Good Quality Blood is required for Prove of Justice and Elemental Ingot T3, and Common blood only rarely rolls Good (about 1% per cycle), run 3 to 4 Purifiers in parallel fed by hoppers.

STEP 04Phase 2

Elemental Altars and Targeted Scale Farming

Craft dedicated elemental altars to farm the exact dragon scales you need.

The Common Altar plus a Common Scroll summons a random Common Dragon. Upgrade it into four Elemental Altars (Earth, Fire, Water, Wind) so you can farm one element at a time. Ice and Lightning scales still come from the matching dragon variants on those altars. Then craft Elemental Ingot Tier 1 from all six Common scales.

STEP 05Gate 1

First Boss Gate: The Prove of Will

Confront The Shaman and Cursed Blossom to unlock the Uncommon Dragon phase.

Progression halts until you craft the Prove of Will token. This requires you to summon and defeat two mini-bosses:

The Shaman Boss

Summoned via Dark Rune

Corrupted shadow caster with wither aura and rapid teleportation. Immune to projectile damage. Entry fight: 400 HP, 25 armor.

Key Drop: Shaman Heart (100%)

Cursed Blossom

Summoned via Cursed Rune

Giant botanical monstrosity with thorn shields and poison spore explosions. Weak to fire attacks.

Key Drop: Cursed Seed (100%)

Uncommon

Uncommon Scrolls and Mid Bosses

Alicia the Storm, the Faerie Dragon Queen, and Storm Harpy sit between the two Proves.

After Prove of Will, craft Uncommon Scrolls (Common Ancient Manuscripts, Elemental Ingot T1, iron, gold, dragon blood) and summon Uncommon dragons from Elemental Altars. Process Uncommon bones at the Research Table, then craft Elemental Ingot T2. Three named fights also sit in this band before Prove of Justice.

Alicia the Storm

600 HP · 48 armor · Medium

Fallen sky sentinel. Blocking her swings drops armor from 48 to 25 for about 100 ticks. That window is the whole fight.

Faerie Dragon Queen

700 HP · 55 armor · Medium

Same parry idea plus Claw Wave. Used on the Prove of Wisdom path. Bring fire or you spend the fight chipping 55 armor.

Storm Harpy

850 HP · 48 armor · Hard

First Hard rating on the roster. Same 48 armor as Alicia, much more HP. Treat it as a gear check before Rune Golem and the kings.

STEP 06Gate 2

Second Boss Gate: The Prove of Justice

Confront the Rune Golem, Wraith King, and Thorn King.

The Prove of Justice is the gateway to endgame content. It unlocks 34 unique defense armor sets and grants access to the Ancient Horn for summoning the legendary Broodmother.
