Ice and Fire: RLCraft Modern

Ice and Fire: RLCraft Modern is a modern-version branch inspired by the original Minecraft 1.12.2 RLCraft version of Ice and Fire (RLI&F).

This project is not simply a repackaged version of modern Ice and Fire. Its main goal is to restore and port unique mechanics, dragon AI behaviors, special equipment, and combat features from the old 1.12.2 RLCraft branch into Minecraft 1.20.1.

While keeping compatibility with the modern Ice and Fire codebase, this branch aims to recreate the more aggressive, dangerous, and distinctive dragon experience of the old RLI&F version, while also expanding the dragon blood equipment progression.

Main Features

Dragon Blood Equipment Expansion

This branch also greatly expands the Dragon Blood equipment system.

Dragon Blood Armor

Every major dragon scale color now has a corresponding Dragon Blood armor set.

These sets are no longer crafted through a normal crafting table. Instead, they are upgraded through the corresponding Dragon Forge:

Matching Dragon Scale Armor + Matching Dragon Blood → Matching Dragon Blood Armor

Supported elements include:

• Fire Dragon Blood armor
• Ice Dragon Blood armor
• Lightning Dragon Blood armor

Dragon Blood Bows

The elemental Dragonbone Bows from the old RLI&F branch have been restored:

• Fire Dragon Blood Bow
• Ice Dragon Blood Bow
• Lightning Dragon Blood Bow

Each bow has its own textures and complete pulling animations.

Dragon Blood Bows can also imbue normal Dragonbone Arrows with the bow's elemental type.

Dragon Blood Arrows

Three elemental Dragonbone Arrow variants have been added:

• Fire Dragon Blood Arrow
• Ice Dragon Blood Arrow
• Lightning Dragon Blood Arrow

If an elemental arrow is fired from a different elemental bow, the arrow's own element takes priority.

Fire Dragon Blood Arrows can ignite enemies and deal additional damage to Ice Dragons.

Ice Dragon Blood Arrows can freeze targets, apply Slowness and Mining Fatigue, and deal additional damage to Fire Dragons.

Lightning Dragon Blood Arrows can trigger chain lightning attacks.

All Dragon Blood bows and arrows are created through their corresponding Dragon Forge.

World Generation Fixes

Several large Ice and Fire world-generation features still relied on older Feature-based generation logic that does not behave well with modern chunk generation.

Compatibility and Fixes

In addition to new and restored content, this project contains many fixes related to the 1.20.1 port.

No More Dragonsteel

Project Direction

This project is intended for players and modpack developers who want:

"The old RLCraft Ice and Fire experience in a modern Minecraft environment."

It does not strictly follow the design direction of modern Ice and Fire.

Instead, it prioritizes restoring distinctive mechanics from the original 1.12.2 RLCraft branch while adapting them to modern Minecraft, fixing legacy issues, and expanding the dragon-related progression system.

This is an unofficial community branch based on Ice and Fire and its 1.12.2 RLCraft fork. It is not officially affiliated with the original Ice and Fire developers or the RLCraft team. All original Ice and Fire content remains the property of its respective authors.
