Since its official release almost 10 years ago, Minecraft has had a plethora of custom content created for it by fans of the game. It has become so common to install Minecraft mods that third-party software has been developed to help players to install it. In this list, we cover the best dragon-themed mods for those of us Minecraft players who like their adventures to be medieval.
Additional notes:
- For convenience, all mods listed here are available for installation on Curseforge. This is generally considered the easiest and best way to install mods. If you need instructions on how to install a mod, you can follow this guide: How to Install Minecraft Mods on PC. We also provide a quick overview of how to install mods under the mod list below.
- Unfortunately, mods take a long time to update when new versions of Minecraft are released. Sometimes it is not possible to modify them to work with the latest updates. For this reason, the mods below may not be compatible with the version you are using. We've listed the version compatibility with each mod so you know which version of Minecraft to use.

Best Minecraft Dragon Mods
Below is a clearer description of all mod packs we have on our list.
Ice and Fire: Dragons
Many people consider the Ice and Fire: Dragons mod to be the original Minecraft dragon mod, as almost all popular dragon mod packs are based on it. It is one of the most downloaded mods (over 25 million downloads) when you consider downloads of mod packs that use it. If you only want the base mod to add dragons to your game, this is the best option. However, if you're looking for a more advanced experience with additional mods that work in tandem with this mod, check out the other mod packs we've listed below!
Dungeons, dragons and space shuttles
If you are looking for a Dragon mod with all the features, look no further than Dungeons, Dragons and Space Shuttles. This mod focuses on providing everything dragon-themed you need, along with some futuristic tech to boot. On the description, this mod benefits from the use of more than 300 mods. You'll find a complete overhaul of nearly every aspect of the original game, including changes to food, farming, technology, magic, adventure, exploration, and more. With all the mods used in this mod pack, it's amazing that they all work in tandem.
By far the most important fact about this mod pack, however, is the fact that they are true to their name. If you have a computer that can support the massive amounts of mods it runs, this is the perfect Dragon Mod Pack for Minecraft!
Dragon World
World of Dragons mainly focuses on two mods to provide its users with a fantastic adventure: Ice and Fire mod and Mine and Slash mod. Mine and Slash is another popular fantasy mod that scales the difficulty for its players based on the distance they travel. World of Dragons may not be as popular as the previously mentioned mods, but that doesn't mean choosing it sacrifices quality. This mod brings a whole set of interesting changes to the game which include more technology, more magic, more adventure and: a world of dragons.
Less technology More dragon
Less Tech More Dragon lives up to its name and is unsurprisingly based on keeping everything futuristic out of its mod pack. This is a great mod for two reasons: it better represents the feel of a medieval setting, and it works much better on PCs that can't handle the burden of the other mods we've mentioned above. In the description on the official page, they use it as a selling point for people to use the mod, stating that they intentionally made it low-tech. Less Tech More Dragon lets players with older or slower PCs experience the excitement and danger of dragons in Minecraft!
Winter has arrived
Winter is Here is a promising mod pack that is growing in popularity. It is one of the few mod packs that is still updated, even when compatible with Minecraft version 1.16.5. For gamers looking for a fun alternative to the RAM draining options above, Winter is Here quenches the thirst for medieval fantasy gameplay without weighing down your PC. For now, the developers are still working on the mod pack, so if you need something that stays up to date, this might be a good option for you!
Additional information
Many of these mods and mod packs require players to install other mods for them to work properly. Usually, mod packs include all the mods you need to make them work, or indicate in the description what you need. It's a good idea to read the description of each mod to make sure your device is compatible with it.
