Still working on the wyverns. I've added some wing skeletons (: I have to say, I think this is by far the best model I've ever made, although not all can be seen by just the image. The animations help out a lot. I'm really proud of it, and hope you guys like it too



The Dragon Mod adds dragons into your minecraft world! You can find the original post here.

Dragons
Blue Dragon

Spoiler:

Blue dragons are neutral unless provoked. Blue dragons breathe fire, and are immune to fire.

Green Dragon

Spoiler:

Green dragons are much like the blue dragons, except they have a much stronger attack power and fly a bit slower. They have a bit more health, and are a bit harder to tame. They aren't immune to fire.

Blue Dragon E2

Spoiler:

The blue dragon evolution 2 is the second evolution of the blue dragon! It is stronger and quicker than the blue dragon. This dragon can rarely be found in the wild, although it is possible. When you do find it, the blue dragon e2 is much harder to tame than the normal blue dragon.

Green Dragon E2

Spoiler:

This is evolution of the green dragon! It is similar to the green dragon, as it is stronger than the blue dragon e2, but flies for a less amount of time. These are harder to be evolved into than the blue dragon e2, and the chance of finding one in the wild is even rarer.

What Do I Do With Dragon Scales?
Scale swords can be crafted like this:
    
    
    
Where = dragon scale.

Scale swords each have different abilities varying by the scale used to craft it:
Blue: Hold right-click to grab a mob. When you let go, the mob will be shot far away. The longer you hold it, the stronger the throw impact is. Drains health.
Green: Hold right-click to continuously shoot green orbs. Green orbs will target the closest living mob not including tamed dragons. Drains health.

On each use of a scale sword, there is a chance of the sword breaking. The lower the player's health is, the higher chance the sword will break.


Riding Dragons
Dragons can be ridden by right-clicking while holding nothing. An untamed dragon will get tamed if it is in a good temper (you can throw food at it to increase this chance, and you usually need to throw a lot). When a dragon becomes tamed, hearts will appear around it. If the tame is unsuccessful, it'll knock you off.


Feeding Dragons
You can throw food at dragons if you want them to eat it. If the dragon is tamed, it'll heal it by two hearts. If it has full health, the dragon will gain a tiny bit of experience. If the dragon isn't tamed, it'll increase the chance of becoming tamed the next time you ride it.


Dragon Evolution
Dragons can evolve! Once a dragon gains enough experience points from killing animals or mobs, it'll evolve into a stronger form! Experience can be boosted by feeding a tamed dragon food while it has full health, but this doesn't always work, and the effect is not much.


Absorbing Dragon Souls
After killing a dragon, its body will last for a period of time. If you hold down the scroll button (on your mouse) while facing it, the dragon will begin to glow, and then drop its death item after a period of time. This is how you can get a dead dragon's drop. (The scroll button can be changed in the config file)


Dragon GUI
Does your dragon keep running away? Do you want your dragon to fight enemies? Are you annoyed when you dragon burns down a building? The dragon's GUI allows you to change the options for the dragon!


Currently, the dragon GUI can be opened by right-clicking a tamed dragon with a compass. The red bar stands for health. The green bar stands for experience. The GUI has a few buttons:

Name button: Click to change the name of this dragon. Note that you must re-click the button to finalize the naming.
Order button (first): Shifts between three orders: follow, stay, and wander.
Aggressive button (second): Toggle the dragon's aggressiveness. Dragons will not voluntarily fight unless this is on.
Flying button (third): Toggle flying. Turn it off if you don't want your dragon to fly away.
Ranged attack button (fourth): Toggle if the dragon should attack with its ranged attack. It can be useful if you dragon always burns down your wooden house.
Show name button (fifth): If this is on, the dragon's name will be rendered above its head.


Configuration File
You can find the configuration file for this mod in .minecraft/config/mod_Dragon.cfg
In the config file, you can:
Change which mouse button used to absorb dragon souls
Change block and item IDs

it's okay, i figured it did, since the older version did.

Also I really like the way they explode when they die, it's really amazing .

[thehippomaster21]

haha I'm glad you like it. I'll probably be removing that for normal dragons tho :\ because that'd be a bit too overpowering
I'll probably use that for stronger dragons and add different animations for other dragons

[Dylpickle373]

This is a good mod, + 1 I'm gonna test it out now.

[SpaceInvaders]

yay! finally! Good job
