# Dragon Glass<\/p>\n
**Dragon Glass** is an endgame equipment expansion mod that adds a new post-Netherite gear tier built around progression through **The End**.<\/p>\n
Instead of replacing Netherite, Dragon Glass extends vanilla progression by giving players a powerful new reason to keep exploring after reaching Netherite. Players can craft Dragon Glass, find upgrade templates through End progression, and upgrade their existing Netherite tools and armour into a new transparent, glowing equipment set.<\/p>\n
## What does Dragon Glass add?<\/p>\n
Dragon Glass adds a full new material tier above Netherite, including:<\/p>\n
– Dragon Glass material
\n– Dragon Glass sword
\n– Dragon Glass pickaxe
\n– Dragon Glass axe
\n– Dragon Glass shovel
\n– Dragon Glass hoe
\n– Full Dragon Glass armour set
\n– Dragon Glass Upgrade Smithing Template
\n– End progression-based upgrade template acquisition
\n– Transparent worn armour
\n– Built-in red enchant-style glow, even when the item is not enchanted
\n– Armour trims that affect the glow colour<\/p>\n
## Progression<\/p>\n
Dragon Glass is designed to fit naturally after Netherite.<\/p>\n
First, players craft Dragon Glass using rare vanilla materials:<\/p>\n
– Obsidian
\n– Crying Obsidian
\n– Eye of Ender<\/p>\n
After obtaining Dragon Glass and the Dragon Glass Upgrade Smithing Template, players can use the smithing table to upgrade their Netherite equipment into Dragon Glass equipment.<\/p>\n
This keeps Netherite valuable while adding a new late-game upgrade path for players who want stronger, more visually unique gear.<\/p>\n
## Why download it?<\/p>\n
Dragon Glass is for players and modpacks that want a simple, vanilla-style endgame expansion without completely changing Minecraft\u2019s progression.<\/p>\n
It gives players:<\/p>\n
– A new goal after obtaining Netherite
\n– A reason to explore The End
\n– A rare upgrade path for existing gear
\n– A visually distinct armour set
\n– Glowing equipment without needing enchantments
\n– Armour trim support that changes glow colours
\n– A powerful but still progression-based equipment tier<\/p>\n
The mod is especially suited for survival, SMP, RPG, adventure, and progression-focused modpacks that want more endgame content while still feeling close to vanilla Minecraft.<\/p>\n
## Visual style<\/p>\n
Dragon Glass armour is partially transparent when worn and has a built-in red enchant-style glow by default. Armour trims can alter the glow colour, allowing players to customise the look of their equipment while keeping the Dragon Glass style.<\/p>\n
## Installation<\/p>\n
Install the mod on both the client and the server.<\/p>\n
The client needs the mod for items, armour rendering, textures, transparency, glow effects, and visual features.<\/p>\n
The server needs the mod for recipes, items, smithing upgrades, loot\/progression, and gameplay functionality.<\/p>\n
## Compatibility<\/p>\n
Dragon Glass is designed as a vanilla-style equipment expansion. It does not replace Netherite or remove vanilla progression. Instead, it adds a new tier after Netherite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
