Discussion I've heard some people say that they dislike the new Ice and Fire Dragon designs and prefer the old ones.
I've seen people say that they prefer the old designs because they were simpler, more iconic, and more "feral"-looking, and some even dislike the new designs. I personally disagree. I think the unique designs for the different species and growth stages are really cool, and aren't just similar models with minor differences.
As for the "more Iconic" part, I can 100% agree. The old dragons are iconic mobs from an iconic mod that literally everyone who has played modded minecraft and RLCraft has encountered and played with.
I do agree that the old designs looked more "feral" and "monstrous".
But honestly, while I adore both, I prefer the new ones, because they're pixel-consistent with other mobs and blocks, have unique designs per species and per growth stage, and the cool features like the Lightning Dragon's breath revealing the bones inside and the Fire Dragon's chest glowing when breathing fire.
One thing I do like better about the old designs is that their necks are a bit thicker and I also prefer how their foot claws/talons look in the old mod.
I'm curious to hear your thoughts!
