The idea The idea is simple, to add a new hostile mob, called the Dragon. They spawn in light level 7 or less. They are the most biggest and rarest mobs in the game. They can fly, and are not tameable, but are rideable. To ride them, you need to put a saddle on the dragon. Once you manage to put a saddle on the Dragon, he will not attack you.
Appearance They would look similar to the Ender Dragon:
Attacks One attack can be where the dragon sets you on fire, poisons you, and just about everything else. Another attack is where the dragon will shoot out diamonds in every direction. The diamonds do 9 hearts of damage. I like to call that attack "diamond burst".
Defense This dragon has 999 hearts, and has a force field which prevents him from taking damage for an hour.

I feel like the majority (if not all of this) is completely unbalanced, contradicts itself and also just no. There's plenty of things that are examples of bad things NOT to do in the guideline for suggestion forum: http://www.minecraft...ions/ (Sorry don't know how to put link on words) I do like the organization of your post, and the picture is good. Writing, "spawning at light level 7" made me think this would be a well written and balanced post, but there's a few things that are just bad.

"Just about everything else" I don't know what that means but I feel like that'd be along the lines of insta kill or something unspeakbly horrible, be more specific. Also fire and poison don't mix IMO.Diamond burst sounds kinda ridiculous but I'll let it go, at least you have specific damage.
This dragon has 999 hearts, and has a force field which prevents him from taking damage for an hour.
More health than a boss? An hour in realtime or gametime because that matters, a lot. I feel like killing it would be worthless since there are no drops and I think it'd would've killed me pretty quickly. Also naming the forum, "Best Idea Ever" made me already just not like it.
Good imagination, no support. #BloodyPhoenixModeActivate

I am trying. But every suggestion I make, every1 hates it. I give up. I'm not writing in the suggestion forums anymore.
In fact, people rated me on my profile 1 stars. Now i'm NEVER going on the Minecraft forums again. By.
Especially here. My idiot friend writes #SWAG on my arm every day at school and it grinds my gears. Hashtags in general do that. As for the topic, I can't help but think this is a little overpowered.
Actually, I think there was plans to add a "dragon den" (big empty cave type of deal) where a red dragon could spawn and it would just simply stay in the den (doesn't fly normally and isn't tameable or rideable) but I think they scrapped that...

Well you don't have to leave... Just... really think about what you're suggesting..... Does it sound ridiculous for the atmosphere of the game?
Is it overpowered?
Has it been suggested 500x over?
There's many things you could do to fix... whatever suggestions everyone hates... Since this is the only one... I'll point out.
There's just too many specifics for this to be legit. You can't have "it only does this when this happens... and only spawns here when the light is just right, and it breaths multiple levels of fire" for example.
Maybe just be like...
"This is a mob.. perhaps passive and flies around the map and this is something you can occasionally catch a ride on to sort of be like a 'air rail'. Has no real specific grounds to spawn, is sort of random.. and either comes and goes. Is untameable (so it's not OP), and drops a modest item (whatever that would be perhaps dragonscales for armor or something lets say) that could be used to make a tool, or weapon of some sort)"
IMO the example I gave compared to yours.. is an idea.. but it's an idea that people could expand upon... instead of sinking down the level of ridiculousness that the suggestion unfortunately has.
Basically... when you have a real idea that's sort of like "oh too bad we don't have this when we build things" or "have this kind of attack when we're fighting" instead of an idea that sounds like you literally came up with it for no reason at all simply because you were bored (that's what this looks like to me)
I'd rather not see you go... simply for the fact that... these forums aren't as popular as i'd like them to be. So I'd like to see people stay in here... whatever "level" they are at in "forum experience".
Long as there's potential to expand the game... I'm for whoever wants to be here.. Unless their sole purpose is just to annoy people.
Overall, this isn't a bad idea for an overworld MOB, but there are a few glaring issues with game balance.
First off, you have to consider that the Ender Dragon confrontation is supposed to be the penultimate battle, the climax of the game. It is supposed to define 'winning' the game. That being said, no other 'boss' MOB should be as powerful or more powerful than that confrontation in Minecraft (and especially not in the Overworld).
Thus, 'No' to having a force field of invulnerability for an hour nor having 999 hearts in health. That is WAY too overpowered.
The Ender Dragon has 100 hearts (200 health), but can regenerate indefinitely until it's crystals are destroyed, whereas the Wither has 150 hearts (300 health), but doesn't regenerate. This would be considered a target health range for a Boss MOB.
Boss MOB's such as this should not spawn as normal MOB's in the game, if you want spawning conditions such as low light (7 or less) or biome specific spawning restrictions, then it should be power scaled to be in the range of the other MOB's in the game and not in the range of a Boss MOB. Just having it be 'rare' in occurrence and unpredictable as to when and where it will spawn will make it annoying to the seasoned player and extremely frustrating to the new player.
Fire and poisonous gas can be considered normal breath weapon type attacks to expect from a dragon, more detail s would be needed, not quite sure what 'everything else' means, but I'm guessing it would include some melee type attacks (claws and teeth).
The Diamond Burst Attack needs to be modified, I'm assuming that it isn't shooting out real diamonds that can be collected here, just some sort of sparkle effect that is diamond-like? A flat 9 hearts is a bit OP, IMO, instead, if it sent out multiple diamond burst particles straight out from a radius around it, each sparkle could do 1/2 heart (1 health) damage, but if it was a dense enough concentration, it could be roughly 9 hearts if you go hit by 18 at point blank range in melee, but significantly less if you were out of melee and only got hit by 1 or 2 sparkles. The dragon would have to give some sort of warning before executing a burst attack (like the creeper's hissing). This would allow a close up melee player some time to pull back and try and get some cover or avoid the brunt of the attack.
You have it set up like a Boss MOB that (rarely) spawns as a normal hostile MOB in low light conditions, mention that it isn't tamable, and then say that you can put a saddle on it to ride it. This seems to be a contradiction, are they tamable and can they be ridden, or are they not tamable at all?
I assume that you mean that you don't control the ride as similar to riding a pig without a carrot on a stick? If so, what about take off an landings? how do you mount the dragon if it is attacking you? How do you put a saddle on a hostile MOB? Would it continue to attack you while you were riding it, if not and it is not tamed and still hostile toward you, then why not?

sorry, but this is just OP, contradicts itself, and is utterly useless. Please try and make better suggestions, if you put a little effort and think ":hmm, is OP like my demon idea or is it useless and redundant like my Remove TNT idea?"
