This new add-on is actuallycurrently available for the Bedrock editionof the game and can be purchased for $10 or 1340 minecoins. Though with a ton of added features, theHow to Train Your DragonDLC seems like a must-download.
5Skins
It’s now easier than ever for players to cosplay as their favoriteHow to Train Your Dragoncharacters.Like most otherMinecraftadd-ons, theHow to Train Your DragonDLC includesnumerous skins to try onfrom the Dreamworks movies.

With the new skins, players can explore the island of Berk as any of the favorite characters from theHow to Train Your Dragonmovies, such as Hiccup or Astrid. As a bonus, Hiccup’s peg leg is also added as a free character creator item. Now players can sport a nice Viking peg leg regardless of whether or not they are playing the game as Hiccup.
4Locations
ForHow to Train Your Dragonfans who’ve always wanted to visit Berk, this may be what they’ve waited for. TheMinecraftDLC also recreates several key locations from the franchise, allowing players to freely explore the island of Berk. Along with Berk, players will also be able to explore the islands of the Barbaric Archipelago from the series. Fictional worlds recreated inMinecraftare often large and filled with excruciating detail, and this new DLC will likely be no different.
If the screenshots and trailer for the DLC are anything to go by, the game world will be quite beautiful while retaining the classic blockyMinecraftaesthetic players know and love. As per usual with many other franchise-oriented DLCs forMinecraft, fans can expectmany secrets and easter eggs hidden throughoutthe world as clever call-backs to the film series.
3Texture Pack
Tired of the same old look ofMinecraft? Fortunately, many of the DLC packs will include fitting texture packs that change the look of nearly every block and item in the game. Along with the rest of the DLC,How to Train Your Dragonis the latest to receive the texture pack treatment. This pack adds in new looks for nearly every block in the game, from grass to cobblestone.
The texture pack also changes the look of many non-block items. Clouds now look much more stylized than the traditionalMinecraftones, and players may notice their health and status bar looking quite different. All-in-all, changing the look ofMinecraftto fit a Viking world is perfect for players looking to fully immerse themselves into Dreamworks' dragon-filled world.
2Dragon Riding
Probably one of the most exciting things about theHow to Train Your DragonDLC is the fact that it not only includes many of the iconic dragons from the series but that players will also be given the opportunity to ride said dragons.
Dragons will be littered throughout the world, andjust like with many otherMinecraftcreatures, players who find them can tame them. Like horses, players can then ride their tamed dragons throughout the game world. Most areas of the map can be reached on foot or by dragon flight, but most fans of the series probably would choose the latter.
1Quests
Part of the joy ofMinecraftis the ability forplayers to craft their own adventure. But for those who are maybe seeking a little bit more of a clear objective in their games, theHow to Train Your DragonDLC has them covered. Players can take on quests littered throughout the world, often teaming with characters from the movies such as Hiccup or Astrid.

Quests can be a simple as learning how to train every kind of dragon or as complex as finding and releasing captured dragons from around the world. Some quests can even involve dragon racing competitions, not unlike the opening ofHow to Train Your Dragon 2.
