Create – Dragonsbane

⚙️ NEW IN 2.0.0: THREE MODS OF OUR OWN 🐉

The pack is now Create: Dragonsbane. Two brand new mods, built only for this pack, and a big update to the third.

Forgeworks: melt metal, cast parts and forge your own weapons and tools on Create power. Plus the Dragonsbane Ballista and the Black Pearl Compass.
Bodyworks: every hit lands on a body part. Bleeding, broken bones, burns and infection, each with its own fix.
Dragonworks: dragons meet Create, and now every village raises golem archers to defend itself.

Build an airship. Arm it. Hunt dragons.

Create: Dragonsbane is a steampunk adventure where Create engineering meets a world ruled by dragons. Brass gears, steam and cannon fire on one side. Fire, ice and lightning dragons on the other. Your job is to build something that can fly into their sky and win.

🐉 The Goal

Forge a flying warship and bring down a full-grown, stage 5 dragon from the sky. Then go further, past the end of the world, to face the Chaos Guardian, the hardest fight in the pack. Getting there takes you through six dimensions, a gauntlet of boss fights and an industrial empire you build with your own hands. A 15-act quest book guides you the whole way.

⚙️ Early Game: Grounded

You start small in a world that wants you dead. Seasons change, the weather bites, and you have to manage thirst and body temperature. Every hit lands on a body part: cuts bleed, falls break bones, fire burns, and anything you ignore turns infected.

You begin with a Survivor’s Notebook, the Forgemaster’s Codex, the quest book, a Traveler’s Backpack and the Black Pearl Compass, which points you to the nearest living village. Villages and taverns offer shelter and trade, and every village is guarded by two golem archers. Your first Create machines (water wheels, mills and belts) turn survival into production.

Not every dragon wants you dead. Book of Dragons brings nine dragons from How to Train Your Dragon, from the Terrible Terror to the Night Fury. They live in every dimension from day one. Earn their trust, raise them and fly them.

Dragons already roost out in the world. When you see scorched or frozen ground, turn around. You are not ready. Yet.
