■ Play as Dragon: Comfort Edition is a very light modpack for those who do not like hardcore, read quests and experience difficulties in survival. A good basis for playing in survival mode without unexpected encounters with monsters at night. Dragons also have all debuffs disabled.

■ This modpack is suitable for you if:

  • You want fast progression.
  • You like nice nature without aggression, but you don't mind a little monster hunting in caves.
  • You like a more casual game and don't like complexity.
  • You want dragons to have no debuffs or restrictions.
  • You expect most of the mods and vanilla part of the game to be unchanged.
  • You want to make your own modpack, but you don't know where to start and which mods go well together.
  • You don't like reading big quests and would rather do optional achievements or just have fun.

■ This modpack is NOT for you if:

  • You want real survival.
  • You want a modpack with smooth progression, where everything has to be mined with sweat and blood.
  • You like the small limitations of the original mod

■ Other official modpacks:

  • Play as Dragon - 1.18.2 (unsupported) - the main goal is be a dragon and explore the harsh world. Your wings will not save you from many arrows and every cave can become your grave. Only the strongest and most agile dragons can survive in this world. The modpack is not hardcore if you think outside the box and allocate your dragon's strength properly. Only true dragons can pass this way. If you are human, you don't belong here.

  • Play as Dragon Gothic Edition - 1.19.2 - It combines the creativity of Minecraft with the sternness of Gothic. You will be greeted by a variety of cruel animals on surface, and undeads will be lurking underground. Get ready for an interesting and long adventure! No wings at start.

■ Other non-official Dragon Survival modpacks can be found here and here.

■ Modpack Features:

  • This modpack is 100% comfortable for casual survival. In the developer's understanding. Of course, you are bound to find something uncomfortable, but I tried.
  • Lots of wildlife and pets on the surface with no annoying undead. There are also no phantoms!
  • Day and night you will not be disturbed by enemies that live only in spawners and in the deepest caves.
  • Dragons have no item restrictions, innate debuffs, animals don't run away, and magic is enhanced. Full power time!
  • No dragon hunters and no Royal Pursuit effect (no princes and princesses either)
  • Only 2 global mods: Dragon Survival and Create. 
  • Start with a gold backpack and a supply of food.
  • Upon death, you will retain your armor, Curios, hotbar, and half of your experience. Everything else will remain in the grave and will be waiting for you forever.
  • Map and mini-map.
  • Increased the amount of meat, skins and feathers dropped from peaceful animals.
  • Improved textures of skeletons, cats and dogs.
  • A neat dark gui for each mod
  • No annoying ads about hosting services.

■ Client Installation:

  • Download Curseforge Launcher (article link)
  •  Find and Install my modpack (article link)
  • Allocate a minimum of 6-8 gigabytes of memory in the Curseforge Launcher (video link)
  • Make sure you have Java 17 (Open JDK) installed.
  • Update AMD drivers if you are using video cards from that vendor.
  • Play.

■ Server Installation:

  • There is NO special version for the server. Use the previous point to install the modpack (as if you were going to play single, but not run this).
  • Create the server the same as usual (video). 
  • When you have done EVERYTHING like in the video, close server, delete the world folder.
  • Move ALL (REALLY ALL) folders and files into a prepared server folder from installation in Curseforge Launcher (open local files). No need to download the zip from the website! Only full installation in the launcher!
  • Run server.
  • Uninstall old versions of Java and install the latest version of Java 17 (Open JDK) if your server does not start.

■ - Update Modpack - When official modpack updates come out, I recommend creating a new profile and making backups (a copy to the desktop) of your world to avoid breakages. It's not necessary, but it might save your nerve cells one day. I always try to do updates as carefully as possible and test thoroughly before posting, but stuff happens. It's hard work and it's easy to make mistakes.

■ - Transferring to Other Launchers - For those who only move the "mods" folder there is a separate cauldron in hell. 99% of the content and features of modpacks are not stored in the mods folder. If you don't want to use Curseforge to run a modpack, be sure to transfer absolutely all of the folders and files that are in Cursefogre\Instances\Play as Dragon Comfort Edition. Before you move everything to the new folder, delete all the old folders. Under no circumstances should you move the files with replacements!!!

■ - Shaders - This modpack is 100500% not compatible with Optifine. Instead Oculus are used here. You can quickly enable/disable shaders. The default setting is Complementary Reimagined (link). You can add more via the shaderpacks folder.

■ - Optimization - lot of work has been done to optimize the modpack and the only thing that can cause lag is the initial generation of the world. If you don't want to encounter slow loading chunks while traveling, use this command after join map: /pregen start gen radius 120Chunk SQUARE ~ ~ 32 minecraft:overworld NORMAL_GEN

■ - Check TPS - If you are experiencing freezes on your server and can't figure out what's causing them, and rebooting doesn't help, use the Spark mod. It will not fix your problem, but it will give you an idea why it happens. To start the test you should do the following steps:

  1. /spark profiler start
  2. /spark tickmonitor
  3. Fly around the world, visit different places and do different actions. There will be spam from the stats in the chat. If you often get spikes above 500-800 TPS, that's a reason to think about optimization.
  4. /spark tickmonitor
  5. /spark profiler stop
  6. A link will appear in your chat. Open it and analyze the results.

■ - Map - you can generate it yourself from any seed, but do not install someone else's maps that were not created specifically for this modpack.

■ - Links - The basis of this modpack is the Dragon Survival mod. If you don't understand something, use the Wiki for that mod. In case of problems, write to us on the discord server: http://discord.gg/8SsB8ar. You can support us on Patreon. 

■ - Rights and Use - I do not allow the use of parts of modpack created by me (quests, datapacks, configs, textures) in other projects. If you want to use modpack on your server or YouTube channel, leave a link to this page. All rights to mods belong to their owners. Also, the modpack used content that are not in the Curseforge ecosystem: better-crops-3d-e2230 (https://www.planetminecraft.com/texture-pack/better-crops-3d-16x/). Shader: ComplementaryReimagined.
