Notch has come a long way with dragons since their first mention - what was once a blank, grey creature has become something incredible. Sporting some incredible detail (including a serious upgrade to the wing design from the first model), flight and the apparent ability to destroy blocks that it flies through, the dragon will certainly make waves when it finally hits the game!
Recent news also suggests that dragons will be SMP-compatible! A realm for the Endermen, dragons, enchantments and potions - what will come next? Check in often to find out!
To be honest the dragon is spectacular, both in graphic detail, their movement is very realistic, is to have thought very well as create this mob, for that matter have my full approval :biggrin.gif:
But (yes, there is always a "but") it is clear that the appearance of the power of the dragon has been somewhat neglected, is that the dragon is too powerful, it is not only down trees, or you can dig holes in land, but neither the stone stops the way, if you think about it or even buildings made of obsidian would probably also be destroyed by the passage of the dragon, is illogical, dragons are powerful, yes, but not so much "devour "a mountain., the stone should be able to stop its progress or at least alter their flight.
On the other hand, never saw that launch fireballs (a characteristic of the dragons), and this effect is well achieved with the Gastly, I do not understand that this does not throw fire.
In conclusion, this dragon appears in Minecraft can be saying goodbye to all the castles, buildings, mines, secret base, etc, will become a plague worse than elderman.
Fortunately there is still time to change the programming of the mob, my suggestion is that you can traversed dirt, wood, leaves, crystals, but the stone curb their flight, they can also shoot fireballs (no need to explode, only to produce flames).
I would also like the dragons should be able to swim in the water, well read, swim, not fly.
Finally and although it is obvious, we must see that there are many dragons in a world of Minecraft, should not be very abundant, the opposite should be at least 10 scattered across the map to be so hard to find.
pardon if I have dwelt too much, but I think these are important details to consider, thank you very much for your patience and attention.
Did I not just adress the situation in the post directly before your's?
Soon a dragon will spawn and destroy you :'(
