I found many topics talking about ground mounts and such and those who are talking about flying mounts are not really elaborated so I thought why not make my own. I was thinking about making a gryphon that you could use as a mount.
Come on this would totally make things TOO EASY!
That's why I thought about making some kind of stamina bar which can only be regenerated by sleeping and the bar decrease much more slowly than it actually replenish. This mean that it can only be used for transportation between places that are close together or even just fly to a different room in your epic tower house.
And where can I find him?
Well in the new mountain biome of course! Every mountain biome should have only one gryphon lair in the highest mountain!
And how do you tame it?
By giving him a RARE mushroom in the mushroom biome that calm him (you could also use it on any other aggressive mobs to calm them)and while he is calm you give him delicious steak from the cow. But he's a big guy this gryphon, he will only be your pet if you give him a load of steak (maybe like 20). OR you could also tame them by jumping on them while they are flying and do like in red dead redemption when you tame horse (for those who never played red dead redemption just go watch a video) you would have to press the directionnal arrow in the correct order quickly enough.
And what are they doing before you tame them?
At night they just sleep but at day they search for any creature who make meat when you kill them INCLUDING YOU even if you dont drop meat. When they see a prey they land next to it and attack him. When his prey is dead he take all of the food and he transport it to his lair. Also the lair would have a pile of bones with some blood.
What do you do with him after taming him?
You make his bed which is made only of wool instead of the player bed who has wood. He can also sleep on the ground but he gain stamina slower and it's dangerous if you are in the wood at night. He will sleep in any gryphon bed in a radius of 10 blocks when he's not at full stamina. He also only sleep on the ground if he his at zero stamina. When his stamina hit zero while in the air, he will crash, damage dealt to you depend on the altitude. After this from time to time you have to wash him by pouring water on him but quickly removing it before he drown XD. You also have to feed him with any kind of meat or else he will lose stamina faster (but feeding rotten meat from zombies would make him sick and he won't be able to fly until it's over). He also regain health like the player when his hunger is above 90%.
How can you know when he's hungry or dirty?
If you point your crosshair on him for some seconds his stats will appear.
And why the hell should I wash him?
Because when he is dirty he is less aerodynamical so he lose stamina faster when flying and he is slower (and also the stink XD).
But wait this can be totally used to grief! Oh wait no...
Exactly.
But dragons are much more awesome!
Dragons are kinda dumb because they can burn completly a forest just to kill a chicken and it's a lil bit not appropriate in the normal world (altough maybe in the nether but still).
But I like pigs better!
IT'S A TOPIC ABOUT A FLYING MOUNT!
It's so overpower I hate it!
You need a rare mushroom, a mountain biome, a really dangerous gryphon, tons of steak, tons of meat for you and him to survive (cause you both have to eat), he can only fly for like 1 minutes for at least 5 minutes of rest to replenish his stamina, you need to wash him AND he is only like 2 or 3 time your speed so I guess it's balanced. Please tell me I didn't wrote all of this for nothing and tell me : What do YOU think?
EDIT: They should also respawn to their last used bed when they die cause you don't want to lose it.

it's just overpowered...
Not really.
I like the idea, but it doesnt seem Minecrafty. Maybe a mod.
