Ice and Fire: Poison Dragons

What's New & Changed in (October 16, 2026)

🏰 World Generation & Dragon Nests (Roosts & Caves)

• Ice and Fire Nest Logic Overhaul: Fully integrated original Ice and Fire generation algorithms for both surface roosts and underground caves.
  • Surface Roosts: Now generate crater-shaped basins with realistic shell topography, spires, and arch formations.
  • Block Transformations: Natural grass, dirt, stone, and gravel in roost areas now dynamically transform into Poisoned Block and Acid Block.
  • Tree & Foliage Clearing: Overgrown foliage and logs within the roost perimeter are cleanly cleared, matching fire/ice roost behaviors.
  • Underground Caves / Dens: Spherical underground chambers now spawn at deep Y-levels with hanging acid stalactites, surrounding ore veins, and persistent 350-block minimum distance checks to prevent overlapping structures.

🛡️ 3D Armor & Visuals

• Dragonsteel Armor 3D Geometry: Integrated the authentic Ice and Fire Dragonsteel 3D model geometry (horns, visor guards, pauldrons, spine plates) for the player-worn Poison Dragonsteel Armor set.
• Poison Dragonsteel Texture Palette: Reworked all 3D armor texture layers to feature vibrant toxic emerald/poison green glows and dark acidic steel shading, perfectly matching the Poison Dragonsteel Ingot palette.

⛏️ Blocks & Gameplay Adjustments

• Shovel Tool Tagging: Acid Block and Poisoned Block are now properly registered under minecraft:mineable/shovel.
• Harvesting & Drops:
  • Both Acid Block and Poisoned Block can now be dug quickly with any shovel and will drop as collectible item blocks upon breaking.
  • Adjusted Acid Block hardness and sound profile to a soft slime/soil texture for a smoother excavation feel.

⚖️ Balance & Loot Refinements

• Roost & Den Chest Loot: Rebalanced loot tables for nests and roost chests to ensure dragon eggs and dragonsteel ingots do not drop from basic containers (preserving them as high-tier rewards from slaying dragons and dragon forge crafting).
