The official BDA website
How to Train Your Dragon, rebuilt as a living Minecraft world.
BDA is a fan-made mod and map project focused on canon accuracy, high-quality assets, complex dragon systems, and a serious recreation of Berk and the wider archipelago.
Two paths. One world.
The project is built in parallel.
The mod gives the world systems, dragons and gameplay. The map gives those systems somewhere real to exist.
Dragons become systems.
A gameplay mod for Minecraft Java Edition, built around taming, riding, progression, eggs, villages, weapons and animation.

Project foundation
One locked goal.
Berk's Dragon Academy was established on March 10, 2022 and effectively restarted in March 2026 with a reset foundation: recreate HTTYD in Minecraft as accurately as possible through a high-quality dragon mod and a full map recreation. V0.5 is the first real playable foundation.
