Sounds funny, but...



I want to focus on riding for now. The rest is debatable when a proper mod API is available

[Supperseffer]

I've been looking for something like this! Thanks!

Edit: Maybe you can make it do where the steve sits properly?. They would also have light green eyes (like the original endermen) and maybe an option for the particles or not.

aha i lol'd at this,
i know it would be hard, but i mean, look at what you already made, it's amazing.
To be completely honest with you, when i came on to this thread, i thought it was complete bullshit. then i saw the video, i downloaded, and man, i was amazed. You've done a really great job so far, hope you can some day implement a few of those ideas though .

Thank you this mod is brilliant I have never reached the end I've been too lazy but this mod will push me to reach it (or tmi the egg in meh who's gonna know) but I reward you with one diamond and a download

[jamie_bom]

cool mod any thoughts on making the dragon shoot ender crystals missiles reason why not fire because that would be copying animal bikes mod.

ps. how about a config file to make the dragon not damage the land.

[Purple_Elephant1]

Awesome, very good use of the dragon egg good idea

[LavaLord4]

If you made this for SMP, I think Yogscast would use it. I know them irl.

Crystal missiles? Hm... that's one idea. I made the gif for the wiki, btw.

But as I said, I don't like config files. It must be done somehow in-game. Maybe eggs with meta info and a different color, available in creative only?

It's not supposed to crash in MP, but I also haven't tested it yet.

Well, it's on the list.
Don't know if Bukkit provides an interface to add entities on the fly.

[BlacksWhites]

[cowmonkey]

Sure, I just need to find someone with plenty of knowledge in game programming and inverse kinematics

Got it, You should make a "dragon mo creatures" so to speak. (as before dont know much about modding dont get mad) Add 5-6 new dragons with new minor abilities, SUCH AS:

Frost drake that does a frost breath that can freeze water on contact but does little damage.
Fire Dragon uses a fire breath that can breath fire but that can catch trees and such on fire!
A common drake?: Maybe no powers but is a good first mount.

Basicly copy ender dragon codes do some resizing and minor remodeling here and there then Retextures, (id suggest asking for help from fans for that ), For new dragons.

As for breeding, the codes in minecraft already but since you dont know how to make dragons walk maybe make it a requirement that they fly while "mating" Kinda like a book i read called Hearts Blood or somthing

BUT things like maybe an ability to stop and hover (like the animal bikes ender dragon) should be added. But i love the smoothness of your mod. the Animal bikes seems a little jerky when turning. Also, you've broken the bottle of my interest and i need to go look at mod tuts, ima learn modding to help. (will probably take a while )

Any Chance for multiplayer?

D'oh, there was a small but fatal oversight in the render manager. Download 0.2 again, it should be fixed now.

Edit: and here's 0.2 for ModLoader. Man, that one required some ugly patching, good thing I've learned how to use Git recently...

Hey, how do I install the Modloder version?

Edit: Never mind. Just put the zip file in the mods folder.

[KirasApprentice]

This is an AMAZING looking mod, so I downloaded. I got on the dragon well enough, (nice touch on the explosion propeling you up, by the way) however, whenever my dragon comes into contact with ANYTHING at all, be it blocks, mobs, or even another dragon, it freezes and I have to dismount, but I just fall and the dragon stays, suspended in mid-air. Is this a bug, or is this just me?

I wanna get the mod but idk how to get it

Well, first of all you need to download ether the standalone or Modloader version.

Standalone: Unzip the file, open up your minecraft.jar using ether 7-Zip or Winrar. Highlight the files inside the unzipped folder and drag them into the open jar window and click yes.

Modloader: You need to download Modloader first. Here is the link: http://www.minecraft...ything-updated/

Once you download it, unzip it and open your jar file like the above and drag the contents from the modloader folder into your jar file. Then run minecraft and load a world. Once it has loaded, save it and exit. inside your .minecraft folder there should be a mod folder. Download the modloader version and drag it to the newly created mod folder. (Do Not Unzip It!) And your done! Enjoy!

Phew, lots of requests. If I really want to have more types of dragons, they need to have more than just minor skin/model changes and different types of fire. And then, again, look at my post on the top of this page

For now, I want this mod to be as lightweight as possible, so I can easily switch between any upcoming APIs, official or not. And to avoid introducing tons of bugs

Breeding would certainly an interesting feature, but with the eggs as a compact transport
device, it would start to feel more and more like Pokemon

Abilities like hovering requires a different type of control. Right now, you could use your bow or any other weapons or tools while riding, thanks to the indirect "fly where you look" principle.
I think it can be changed so the controls of the player are actually controlling the dragon, but then you won't be able to interact with the player anymore, of course.
I still need to do more experiments to decide which one is better.

Not yet, planned when the client is working good.

Hm, that's strange indeed. They should freeze only when touching any surrounding blocks. But usually, you can just look up to continue flying.
