🐉 DragonEggTracker
Turn the Dragon Egg into a Server-Wide Trophy
Live Tracking • Tracker Compass • Egg Holder Buffs • Movement Control
🔥 Overview
The Dragon Egg just sits there by default — a decoration with no real meaning. DragonEggTracker changes that.
The moment a player picks up the egg, the entire server knows. They become the owner, gain powerful buffs, and can be hunted down using a craftable Tracker Compass that always points to the egg's location. Every placement, pickup, and drop is tracked and persisted across restarts.
"Finally a reason to actually fight over the Dragon Egg." — Server Admin
