Frequently asked questions

Below are some **frequently asked questions** often asked about the mod, most of your answers will be here.

## Game Crash, Modifying Config Files, Changing Spawn Rates, Suggestions, Updates and development questions

### **I need help!**

You can join the discord for faster responses to questions. Crash logs should be posted to the issues github so they can be fixed by the development team.

Before you write a new issue, you should be able to see if a similar issue has been posted. If there has, there is no need for you to make a new issue. Doing so makes it take longer for the dev to work on the ice & fire mod. However if the issue has not already been reported, please make the report as it tells the dev what is going wrong.

You should post a copy of your crashlog, which you can find using this guide, and copy-and paste it into your report. Here is an example of a good crash report.

If you feel like there might be a mod conflict, you should include what mod-pack you are using.

### **Will you add X mob to 1.12.2?**

The hydra was the last major update for 1.12.2. The Dread Queen, which was delayed, and all other phase 2 mobs will be for minecraft versions above 1.12.2. Currently, ice & fire is regularly updating to minecraft versions 1.16.3 & 1.15.2.

### **My game crashed!**

Please post your CRASHLOG, a summary of what went wrong, other mods you have installed, and other information at Alexthe666's issues Github.

### **Where can I give suggestions?**

Post them at Alexthe666's suggestions Github.

### **When is \_\_\_ being added/coming out/releasing?**

**We do not answer ETA(s).** Out of respect for the development team you should not be asking this question, the updates come when they come out.

You can check Alexthe666's Twitter or the mod's Discord server to keep up-to-date with the latest developments. For the discord server, see the #announcements and #development-images channels.

### **Will you add \_\_\_?**

No. You may post your ideas to the suggestions channel, but do not expect it to be added. The development team already has a full plate to work on.

### **Can I download this mod for Bedrock edition?**

No. Mods can only be downloaded for the Java edition.

### **How do I download this mod? What's the latest version of citadel I need?**

You can find the ice & fire mod here.

You can find citadel, which is required to run ice & fire in any minecraft versions **above** 1.12.2 here.

You can read on the ice & fire page which citadel version you need.

### **Can I disable, modify, or change (griefing, hatch time, spawning etc)?**

Modify the mod's config. It should be under Mod options > ice and fire. Here is a tutorial on how to do that. <--- Only works for 1.12.2.

For any minecraft version **above** 1.12.2, you will need to follow **this** guide.

### **That's not a dragon, that's a wyvern!**

The development team has decided to call their creations a dragon, and out of respect for them you should leave it be. If you want to debate about it, there are other communities for that. Ice & fire for modded minecraft is not one of them.

## General Game-play questions. Read HERE before you read the bug list.

### **Can you reverse the effects of sickly dragon meal?**

Sadly, no. Be warned that there is no going back. It is permanent.

### **A female fire dragon didn't drop an egg!**

Make sure it was a stage 4 or 5 dragon, if it was, make sure you do not have any conflicting mods. You should get at least ONE egg after looting the corpse, but you cannot loot the dragon corpse for blood AND get an egg, be warned.

### **Can I transport my OTHER tamed mobs in a dragon horn?**

No, only dragons. If you need to transport other mobs you will need another mod that adds such utility, such as animal-nets, etc.

### **How do you use \_\_\_ in a banner?**

Use the item, then the banner, then the dye.

### **Why is nothing spawning?**

If you are using any 2.0 version of ice & fire (AKA, you're playing on 1.15 or 1.16) make sure you are 1,000 blocks out from your spawn. There is a 1,000 block radius around spawn that is "safe" from ice & fire mobs.

### **Is this mod compatible with X Mod?**

There shouldn't be any mod not compatible with ice & fire, that said, older mods, such as iseedragons, or dragoncrystal, do not work with newer versions of ice & fire.(PS your game crashes is you try and morph out of a dragon or cyclops using morph mod)

### **My Dragon won't power the forge!**

It has to be \*very\* close to the forge for it to work. Keep moving it around.
Also, you may need to break the aperture and replace it if that still does not work and try moving the dragon closer to it again.

## General Ice & Fire Bugs

### **X Dragons not breeding**

It has been an issue since 1.12.2 versions of ice & fire and has not yet been fixed yet.

### **Myrmex aren't working as intended!**

They have been buggy since 1.12.2 and have not been fixed yet.

### **I get the [mount name] moving too quickly error**

This has been fixed in later ice & fire updates. Make sure you are using the newest update.

### **Dragons Vanishing**

Not sure if fixed yet. Happened mostly in 1.12.2.

## 1.16 Bugs

### **Ice & Fire structures not spawning!**

This has been fixed in ice & fire 2.1.2. If you have updated from an older ice & fire version, **you should delete iceandfire-biomes.toml when you update to 2.1.2 and let the game rebuild the file**. This change may only apply to **new chunks generated.**

### **Ice Dragons Lagging Game**

Has yet to be fixed. Seems specific to 1.16.3 AND 1.16.4.
