Crystcursed Dragon (Dragon Survival Add-On)

Custom Models & Species

• New Species: neo_crystcursed_dragon
  • Created to support the brand new custom model, independent from the original species
  • The new model's animations and active ability files are fully independent and do not conflict with the base species
• New Model
  • Special thanks to my friend 神秘奇男子 for completing the base model of the Crystcursed Dragon; subsequent refinements, rigging, and animations were continued by the mod author
  • Enhanced facial animations: most of the DragonSurvival animations have been recreated on the new model
  • The neck bone structure uses separate horizontal/pitch controls, allowing the head to more accurately replicate camera rotation without "tilting" when turning
• Model Conversion Between Old and New Species
  • If you wish to convert your Crystcursed Dragon between the old and new species models, follow these steps:
    1. Use an Dragon Soul to store your Crystcursed Dragon
    2. Drop the stored Dragon Soul item onto an Amethyst Dragon Altar
    3. Hold an Amethyst Shard, right-click the Amethyst Dragon Altar, and exit the UI (this will consume one Amethyst Shard)
    4. Wait for the conversion to complete and pick up the converted Dragon Soul
  • If you pick up the Dragon Soul during the conversion process, the conversion will be interrupted

Abilities

• Crystcursed Volley
  • Coordinated attacks (in conjunction with Crystcursed Revenge) can now also accumulate deflection charges
  • The horizontal rotation of floating crystals now follows the dragon model's facing direction rather than the player's camera
  • Added Sophisticated Backpacks to the prevented item firing list crystcursed_dragon:crystcursed_volley/prevent_fire
• Crystcursed Laser
  • Added an optional datapack 「Laser Explosion on Block Hit」 (requires the datapack to be enabled and activated in Magic Settings)
  • For existing worlds, enable it using the following command: /datapack enable "mod/crystcursed_dragon:data/crystcursed_dragon/datapacks/laser_hit_explosion"
  • Optimized the explosion level initialization calculation, now precomputed during the initialization phase
• Crystcursed Revenge
  • Coordinated attacks (in conjunction with Crystcursed Volley) can now also accumulate deflection charges
• Crystcursed Missile
  • Fixed the issue where hit logic was lost when used by large-sized dragons
• Mana Infusion
  • Using this ability on an Amethyst item converts it into a Medium Amethyst Bud
  • Serves as a batch-processing alternative to the Crystal Budding ability (same functional design, different behavior)
• Magic Settings
  • Refactored into a dynamic registration system for future extensibility
  • All ability setting parameters are now initialized via injection to accommodate future option additions
  • Added particle effects for default and paginated states
  • Abstracted the ability level retrieval logic into a generic function, unifying base/neo distinction predicates

Technical Improvements

• Added configuration methods for the majority of datapack logic; see data\crystcursed_dragon\function\dragon_ability_config\README in the mod files for details
• Due to the growing number of ability predicates, all ability-related predicates have been migrated to data\crystcursed_dragon\predicate\dragon_ability
• Abstracted the active ability level retrieval logic into a generic function
• Refactored Magic Settings into a dynamic registration system
• Synchronized the predicate name for Crystcursed Armor existence to having_base
• Changed the parry counter for Crystcursed Revenge to use decimal calculation

Compatibility & Optimizations

• Split active abilities between neo and base species, and adjusted the accompanying datapacks
• Fixed the issue where addon datapacks could not be enabled or disabled via /datapack
• Modified datapack and resource pack loader classes, adding the missing "Remove All Penalties" and "Disable Experience Conversion" feature datapacks
• Changed entity_hit_condition empty parameter from {} to [] to eliminate server warnings
• Added Ominous Bottle to the diet list for improved gameplay flow
• Optimized UUID conversion efficiency
• Fixed the issue where Crystcursed Missile lost hit logic when used by large-sized dragons

Known Incomplete Content

• Due to time and energy constraints, animations for the East body type remain unfinished; standard body type animations are used as a placeholder for now.
