It says, "Some whom live amongst pixies have been able to befriend them by giving them the items that they crave."

It doesn't say anything else about befriending/ taming, so I have no clue what the benifites would be. Maybe instead of playing pranks they only bless?

I like the idea of a befriended pixie choosing to follow you. Not as a tamed pet, but as a travel companion. He, she, it might stay with you as long as you keep it interested. When it looses interest it wanders away and despawns. It will perform random blessings and cast healing spells.

Thats a good idea

maybe they'll add it

But i just want dragons and hippogriffs

XD

This mod thus far has announced plans for only a few mobs so I'm all for adding a few more to the list, as long as it doesn't add to the work and cause set backs. I'd want new concepts to be shelved until after the current ones are hammered out and released.

They're planning for the pixies to live in giant mushrooms so maybe they can be avoided by simply staying away from roofed forests? Roofed forests are too dense for the dragons and hippogriffs anyway.

And possibly summoning pixies by growing giant mushrooms? That would be awesome.

once the mod comes out i may make a 1.7 port for myself, but i'm not going to distribute it because i'm not in the mood for getting sued ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Thats a good point

ill probably just turn pixies off in the config when they come out

Anyway, I have some Ideas:

If this comes out for 1.9 (or any version w/ the elytra), perhaps dragon trainers could teach their dragons how to fly

Also, as far as dragons going rogue goes, perhaps if you don't teach them how to fly (maybe in this fashion) before stage 5, they get angry and try to destroy u (lol)

Huh.

Thought I had more ideas. Still cool tho, right?

Can the Elytra be crafted?

I searched the internet and did not find much that was promising

1. You can't get sued for copying someone's mod, as they can't copyright it. You can, however, get a C&D and have your copied mod taken down.
2. Why not just backport it and send the file to these guys to distribute? I'm sure they wouldn't mind someone else doing some work for them, and I would love to be able to include this in my 1.7.10 modpack at some point.

Only one Elytra in the game, like the dragon egg. It's in that end dungeon, so after you kill the dragon you still need to find the dungeon. Thankfully they don't break, instead you can use leather to patch them up when their durability runs too low to use. That's the crafting recipe you're seeing, the recipe for patching up worn out wings. The Elytra is far too rare to be so necessary. That's like needing to regularly feed your dragon nether stars.

I'm pretty certain you can find multiple end ships for elytra but the ships themselves generate kinda rarely. Not that I've really done anything with 1.9 I'm not a big fan of some of the changes to PVE

I wouldn't mind having a fairy companion so long as they don't have a super annoying twinkle sound. >.>

To raptor and alex, do you think you could give screenshots from your alpha test after you've done it? Sorry if I sound demanding, but id like to see the progress this awesome mod has gotten

Just looked it up. It's sort of like the nether fortresses, but the ships that have the elytra sound possibly rarer. You can get more than one, but it's almost an end game trophy item.

So no, I don't think the super rare beetle wings should be a required item for dragon rearing.

And I'm not happy with some of the new vanilla Minecraft features either. They nerfed the creeper and the slash attack has ruined precision. You can't avoid hitting your dogs for example. I don't PvP, but this must have seriously messed with players trying to avoid hitting teammates. I do like the skeleton horse traps and new skeleton AI though. Those are kinda cool and I found out that the best way to combat the horse mounted skeletons is with a pack of dogs. Dogs target the skeletons on the horses.

k thanks I'm gonna stop posting I just got warned for spamming bye forever

that sounds a bit melodramatic dude, it sucks to get a warning for spamming but "bye forever"? really?

Oh I'm so excited for this mod!!!!!

Dragons and dinosaurs are one my favorite things when it comes to animals and/or myths! Chimeras will always be my favorite mythical animal tho~

I realized I haven't posted anything on this forum in a very long time, but I always check for updates lol

Same

Definitely! With the way they model and the things I have already seen implemented (via images), they are certainly going to make a terrific mod! I do hope that, after a while, they'll implement other creatures, just as they already planned to do with the Medusa, Faeries and the Gryphon

Can't agree more. And I'd absolutely love to mix this mod with Useful Villagers. The one where you can give them jobs like soldiers and archers. That image they posted of a fire dragon attacking a village gave me the idea. I've had them kill mutant endermen and it would be awesome watching them battle a dragon to protect the village. They're working on the 1.8 update so hopefully the 1.8 will be released around the same time as this mod is. I said pretty much the same thing over on their thread the other day.
