Frequently asked questions

How do I start the Book Of Dragons Mod?
Begin by crafting or finding the Book of Dragons item, which serves as your progression guide and lore compendium. Open the book to learn about available dragons and unlock taming mechanics as you progress through the mod's content.
Where do I find dragon eggs?
Dragon eggs spawn naturally in specific biomes and structures throughout the world, or can be obtained by breeding dragons that you've already tamed. Check the Book of Dragons for hints about which biomes are most likely to contain eggs from specific dragon species.
What's the easiest dragon to tame first?
Starter dragons like the Gronckle are typically easier to tame than rare species like the Night Fury, requiring simpler materials and less preparation. Focus on taming beginner-friendly dragons before attempting more challenging species.
How do I tame a night fury?
Night Furies are among the rarest and most difficult dragons to tame, requiring specific conditions and rare materials found in the mod. Consult the Book of Dragons and the Taming Your First Dragon guide for the exact requirements and process.
Can I breed dragons to get more eggs?
Yes, tamed dragons can be bred together to produce eggs, which is often more reliable than searching for wild eggs. You'll need to meet specific conditions like having two compatible dragons in close proximity and providing the right environment.
What do I feed dragons to tame them?
Different dragon species prefer different foods and materials—some may eat raw meat while others require specific mod items. The Book of Dragons lists the preferred food for each dragon type you encounter.
Do dragons need special care after taming?
Tamed dragons require feeding and a suitable environment to stay healthy and loyal; neglecting them may cause them to become hostile or leave. Build appropriate habitats and maintain regular feeding schedules to keep your dragons content.
Does this mod work on Minecraft Bedrock?
The Book of Dragons Mod is primarily designed for Java Edition and may have limited or no Bedrock compatibility depending on the version. Check the mod's official documentation for confirmed Bedrock support.
Can I use commands to spawn dragons or eggs?
Some command functionality may be available depending on your mod version and configuration, but taming and breeding through normal gameplay is the intended progression method. Refer to the mod's command documentation if you need administrative spawning options.
Why aren't dragons spawning in my world?
Dragons spawn in specific biomes and structures, so you may need to explore further or check that you're in the correct locations. Ensure the mod is properly installed and that your world settings haven't disabled mob spawning.
