Our notes on Isle of Berk (Claws of Berk)

What sets it apart

This is a pack themed on How to Train Your Dragon, which the page shortens to “HTTYD in Minecraft!”. The project page promises dragons you can ride, tame and breed, with over 100 species and over 2,000 variants, plus a complex dungeon, varied world generation, Viking ships and villages, and Viking weapons and armor.

The mod list shows how it gets there. It includes several dragon-related add-ons (Spectre’s Assorted Dragons, Dragon Wars Variants, Off the grid dragons, Nests Of The Archipelago and an Isle of Berk variant loader), Simply Swords, Better Combat, Sophisticated Storage and Fantasy’s Furniture. There are also several shader packs (Complementary Reimagined and Unbound, BSL, Solas and others) and performance mods such as Embeddium, ModernFix and Saturn. The list has about 104 entries.

The project is licensed all rights reserved, and neither listing names any connection to the film studio or franchise owner, so nothing here should be read as official.

Who it suits

Fans of the franchise who want a dragon-collecting adventure, alone or in a group. Multiplayer, adventure and combat are its tags.

Before you install

The pack runs on Forge, Minecraft 1.18.2, which is an older version. The latest release, 3.2.9, was published on November 7, 2026, so it is still being updated.

The page gives no install steps and no RAM recommendation, on Modrinth or CurseForge. The same pack is listed on CurseForge, where the version matches (3.2.9).

Playing with friends

Modrinth lists the pack as required on both client and server, and the page carries a hosting sponsor promotion. No server pack is listed on Modrinth, but the CurseForge listing shows a separate server file (ClawsOfBerk+Server-[3.2.9]) for 1.18.2 on Forge. Neither page has a setup guide. A Discord server is linked for help.

Whether it is built around group play, and whether everyone must run the exact same version, is not documented.
