The Dragon Scales

Is the final boss a bit too easy for your server?

Whether you are playing with a small group of friends or a bustling community, the Ender Dragon usually doesn’t stand a chance against a coordinated team. The Dragon Scales is a lightweight, server-side Fabric mod designed to restore the challenge to your SMP by dynamically adjusting the Ender Dragon’s maximum health based on your server’s player count.

Perfect for tight-knit groups
If you and your friends find the default fight a breeze, this mod is the perfect solution. It scales the dragon’s HP just enough to make the encounter feel like a genuine, high-stakes battle for your group, without turning it into an impossible grind.

How it works:
For every extra player online beyond the first, the Ender Dragon gains a 5% boost to its total HP (capped at a 50% increase for 10+ players). This ensures that while the fight stays balanced for your group, it remains accessible for solo players too.

Features:

• Server-side only: Players do not need to install anything on their clients.
• Vanilla-friendly: Keeps the core experience intact while increasing the challenge.
• Plug-and-play: No configuration required to get started.

Gather your party, prepare your gear, and finally give the Ender Dragon the fight it deserves!
