DragonAPI is the DragonAPIMod library for Minecraft. DragonAPIMod can be used by any other DragonAPI supported mods, and without DragonAPI installed your game will crash on load with a NoClassDefFoundError mentioning DragonAPIMod.class. This mod provides many useful functions to players that would otherwise have to do complex calculations themselves. The source code has been compiled using MCP (Minecraft Coder Pack) which includes libraries like FastCraft and Optifine that are not included in the vanilla Minecraft release.
