What Ice and Fire works with.
| Platform | Java Edition |
|---|---|
| Loaders | Forge, NeoForge |
| Minecraft versions | 1.10.2, 1.11.2, 1.12.2, 1.15.2, 1.16.5, 1.17.1, 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.20.1 |
| Environment | Client, Server |
Ice and Fire adds tameable dragons, hydras, sirens, pixies, and a roster of other mythical creatures to Minecraft Java, along with the weapons, armor, and structures built around them. It runs on Forge and NeoForge and needs the separate Citadel library mod installed alongside it, on both the client and the server. The newest build reaches Minecraft 1.20.1, published as a beta in August 2024; the last version marked a full release stops at 1.18.2 from November 2023.
Supported Minecraft versions and loaders
Ice and Fire ships identical builds for Forge and NeoForge; neither loader gets content the other lacks. The current ceiling for both is Minecraft 1.20.1, from a beta build published in August 2024. If you want a build the author tagged a full release rather than a beta, the highest one available is 1.18.2 from November 2023. There is no Fabric or Quilt port. Older builds go back to 1.10.2, but each targets one specific version rather than a wide range, so match the download to your instance exactly.
What Ice and Fire adds
The mod's centerpiece is fire, ice, and lightning dragons that hatch from eggs, grow through five stages, and can be tamed and ridden once mature. Around them it builds a full bestiary and progression loop of gear made from what you kill.
- Tameable dragons in three elemental types, each with multiple color variants and five growth stages
- Other mythical creatures: hydras, sirens, pixies, myrmex, gorgons, cyclopes, death worms, and ghosts
- Dragon-forged weapons and armor crafted from dragon drops at a dedicated dragon forge
- Structures to explore, including dragon roosts, sea serpent dens, and myrmex hives
- Requires the separate Citadel library mod, made by a different team, on both loaders
Installing Ice and Fire
- 1.Install Forge or NeoForge for the exact Minecraft version you plan to play; see how to install Forge and NeoForge for Minecraft Java for loader setup
- 2.Download the Citadel build that matches your Minecraft version and loader; Ice and Fire will not load without it
- 3.Download the matching Ice and Fire build for the same version and loader
- 4.Place both jar files in the mods folder; see how to install Minecraft mods on Java Edition for the general workflow
- 5.Copy the same two jars onto a dedicated server, since Ice and Fire requires the mod on both the client and the server
Ice and Fire inside RLCraft
Ice and Fire's dragons and other creatures are one of the bundled mods inside RLCraft, Shivaxi's hardcore survival modpack. RLCraft runs on Forge 1.12.2, an older build than the standalone mod's current 1.20.1 beta, so installing Ice and Fire on its own gets you newer content than the version bundled in that pack.

Questions about Ice and Fire.
5 questions
Does Ice and Fire work with Fabric or Quilt?
No. Ice and Fire only ships for Forge and NeoForge, and no Fabric or Quilt port exists as of its last update in August 2024. The mod also requires Citadel, a separate library mod made by another team, installed alongside it on both loaders.
Which Minecraft version does Ice and Fire support?
Its newest build reaches Minecraft 1.20.1 on both Forge and NeoForge, published as a beta in August 2024. The last build the author tagged a full release stops at 1.18.2 from November 2023. Older builds go back to 1.10.2, but development has been inactive since the 2024 beta.
Does Ice and Fire need another mod to work?
Yes. Citadel is a required dependency, a separate library mod maintained by a different team. Install both the Ice and Fire jar and the matching Citadel jar for your Minecraft version and loader, on both the client and any server, or the mod will fail to load.
Is there an official Ice and Fire app on Google Play?
No. Listings on Google Play using the mod's name are unofficial wrapper apps with no connection to creator AlexModGuy. Ice and Fire is a Forge and NeoForge mod file for Minecraft Java Edition; it does not run as a standalone phone app, so treat any Play Store listing offering it that way with caution.
Is Ice and Fire part of RLCraft?
Yes. Ice and Fire's dragons and mythical creatures are one of the mods bundled inside Shivaxi's RLCraft modpack, though RLCraft runs on its own frozen Forge 1.12.2 build rather than this mod's newer 1.20.1 beta.
