Draconic Evolution Resources and Materials

The mod's progression is gated by three primary materials, each requiring more effort to obtain than the last.

Draconium

Draconium is the foundational resource. It can be found as Draconium Ore in all three dimensions, though it is most abundant in The End.

• Overworld/Nether: Rare, typically found at low Y-levels
• The End: Common on the outer islands. Each Ender Dragon kill also drops approximately 64 Draconium Dust
• Processing: Smelting Draconium Ore or Dust yields Draconium Ingots

Awakened Draconium

Created by "awakening" Draconium through a Fusion Crafting ritual. It is required for Draconic-tier equipment and the Draconic Reactor.

• Recipe: Typically involves 4 Draconium Blocks, Draconic Cores, and a Dragon Heart
• Dragon Heart: Dropped by the Ender Dragon (1 per kill) or the Chaos Guardian (2 per kill)

Chaos Shards

The ultimate material, obtained by defeating the Chaos Guardian and harvesting the Chaos Crystal at the heart of a Chaos Island. These are used for the final "Chaotic" tier of equipment.
