Looks like if you took something from final fantasy 6 and gave it a 3d model to render on.

If you can at least ride/fly/sit the dragon around in the initial release then it will be par with dragon mounts mod.

That's good enough for me. If they actually shoot stuff and have attacks, then that's something new. Its generally the mode of transportation I enjoy.

My flying minecart moves slow, elytra goes down.

Not really hyped... not til I know I should be.

When gaming was good:

The dragon alone is 190 or so blocks high. >.<

When gaming was good.

If you want an easy pet, stick to dragon mounts. Or better yet add it and config Mounts so the eggs can be found in chests. Then you can get the best of both worlds. I and F dragons have to be fed (A Lot), can turn against you if you don't treat them right, and you have to battle the equivalent of a mini-boss (AKA Big A** Mommy Dragon) to get them. They also need to be fed enormous quantities to grow really big, otherwise they'll be stunted. They're more like real animals. And if you read through the spoilers you will know that tamed dragons will battle. Pet dragons are more than mounts in this mod.

If you're referring to my comments, I wasn't complaining that it looked like a skull. I actually like the design haha. I was just saying that it makes more sense if it was some kind of actual head drop than just made from pieces of hide, but if it's supposed to be synthetically constructed then I suppose it makes enough sense

I actually was going to go back and edit in a pic of a samurai helmet that looks like the mod helmet in structure before I saw this comment. Sorry, I misunderstood.

Will this mod be compatible with Dragon Mounts? It would be nice to be able to play with both.

After a while of playing with dragon mounts i do not wish to hear this name spoken in this forum this is a vastly superior mod to dragon mounts. while dragon mounts was fun i dont want to hear it lol

nice job on the armour! keep up the good work! and the textures are amazing too.

So something that has me torn about the Undead Preview and how its like the end boss goal or what naught is how sided it is with ice. Now I like the concept, and I like ice yata yata, but for a mod named Ice and Fire with both ice and fire dragons I would have hoped fire would play a role in such a "final" as well.

I think they would add a fire aligned boss eventually, as the undead are a future concept so there's likely going to be something on the fire side before then.

Whoa, whoa, whoa- don't go hating on DM! Right now, it is still the best dragon mod out there-- now, this one will almost certainly surpass it at its release, but DM is still a very good mod! I myself plan on possibly playing the two mods together (depending on how that impacts the gameplay experience), with the DM dragons representing a commoner, weaker type of dragon (since this mod focuses on the two main species). DM has also laid groundwork for several other mods via its source code, so even though it's not as advanced as this mod, it's still a very cool, very important mod. There's room for both in the world of Minecraft haha.

Dude, if this mod ever does get to the point of adding other dragons (AND YES I KNOW THEY'VE SAID THEY HAVE NO PLANS FOR IT RIGHT NOW-- I'M NOT BADGERING FOR THEM), they should add like more End dragons/Nether dragons- since the Overworld will already be populated with many new mobs. Heck, even if it's not dragons, they should add something to the End/Nether.

I have similar mod mixing plans. I like using the config option to add eggs to chests. The Dragon Mounts crowd has been drooling to add wild dragons to DM for a very long time and there will no doubt be players who will use Ice and Fire to that end.

The only thing I have to bemoan is that I won't be able to mix this with Helpful Villagers! (twas a dream of mine once upon a time, such a pretty dream...)

Now, i'm going to guess that your concept is probably better than mine. But I think the Fire Dragon Boss should be a great deal different then the Ice Dragon one.

My idea is this, a trio(multiple) of Warlords from a far off land have raised their own Dragons and aim to take over the land. Now I'm thinking this should be an event or something after you have defeated the Dread King. The reason being the Warlords were frighten of incurring the wrath of said King by attempting to take over the land that he himself tried to do.

Now this boss battle should be easier in some ways, but much harder in others. The warlords individually are a good bit weaker than the Dread King, however in your fight with them you have to battle all of them at once.

With that idea out of my head, have you thought about any dungeon type stuff. Such as a wizards cave to get some magical loot, after surviving all of the traps in it?

p.s. Fantastic mod, I'm so glad that you and your team are making this. Thank you.

Can you post some new screenshot on ice dragons please ?

And I would very much like to see an Ice Dragon Lair, too. That's something we haven't seen. Or an ice dragon hatchling.

(sorry i didn't reply sooner lol. just got new laptop took a day and a half to update everything on it among other things.)
Im not down putting DM i love the mod i use it all the time. im just saying no need to bring up another dragon mod that could potentially be considered a rival mod (i use that phrase loosely though because as you said I and F mod with definitely blow DM out of the water). and also some nether mobs would be great. and i definitely think the end could use some more mobs.

Depending on gameplay I think they might actually compliment one another. Besides, the developers have shown themselves to be far too mature to lower themselves like that. The only mod rivalry that might develop will be between players preaching "Ice And Fire Is The Best Mod" or "Dragon Mounts Is The Best Mod".

I can't wait to possibly see something like a hunger bar like fossil archaeology did, also it would be cool to use a fire dragon to cook food for you

Reminds me of Orespawn and the Godzilla Mod, both had giant creatures, and the King was based on King Ghidorah. The end result was that people bitched and moaned about the other mod to the point that on the Orespawn forum the mod creator autoblocked words related to Godzilla. The sad thing was the mod creators showed nothing but respect for each other and each other's mod, but people wouldn't shut up about this nonexistent rivalry between the two mods.
I personally don't like Orespawn, not because of any stupid rivalry but because it's not my cup of tea. I think it got too far away from the original premise (mine boss eggs like ores) and is pretty much just crazy craft, minus the add-on mods. Sad thing is, when it first started out, I would've played the hell out of it. All of this because the mod creator just kept giving people what they wanted, which in and off itself isn't a bad thing, but alas people are never satisfied.
The lesson of this rant; don't let people/fans destroy your original image/intent for your work. Also flame wars are for suckers.

Stands tall, raises my stein in salute, and shouts "Skol!"

Edit: They both have dragons in them, but outside of that what else do they have in common? The DM dragons are just flying mounts and unless you alter the config file the only way to get the egg is as a reward for defeating the ender dragon because it's supposed to be that species, so the dragons are nothing like Ice and Fire's classical two legged dragons. Would there be any issue if the DM mount was a griffon? That's directed at everyone.

Can we please stop discussing mod comparisons. Now here is a picture of me with a baby silver ice dragon on my shoulder to distract you.

You shouldn't have had to ask and I'm sorry. I didn't realize that I was perpetuating that line of thought.

Beautiful little draggy you got there btw.

*is distracted*

Though it might be getting a tad large to keep on your shoulder. xD Minecraftian block shoulders are only the strongest.

That would be the one problem I have with this thread. It always seem to be on max lock down at all times.

EDIT: And to be more constructive:

IMO, it kind of strangles the community and makes me, as a follower and supporter, wary of trying to contribute.

Sure there are cases when it may be necessary, but most of the time it doesn't seem so.

At least that's how I see it.
