About Dragon Mounts
Dragon Mounts is a mod that allows to hatch eight different dragons and ride them, when they are grown up. The player needs a Dragon Egg to get started and later on Raw Fish and a Saddle to ride it. The Dragon Egg can be obtained after killing the Ender Dragon or can be found in dungeon chests (however, this is disabled by default).

Getting Started
- To hatch a dragon egg, you'll need to find a good place for it first. If you found one, place the egg block and simply right click it. The egg will then start to hatch, which will take a while.
- Once grown up, you can tame the dragon with raw fish. It will then follow and protect you like other pets.
- You can command tamed dragons to lay down or stand up with the bone item.
- To ride a tamed dragon, use a saddle on it, then right click it without holding an action item.
- To heal injured dragons, feed it with raw fish, chicken, beef or porkchop (four hearts) or with rotten flesh (two hearts).
- You can control the dragon with the Carrot On A Stick while riding it.
Cheats
The Dragon Mounts mod offers two cheats, the player can use when cheats are enabled:
/dragon state <State>: This will set the dragon the player is looking at to a different state. "egg", "hatchling", "juvenile" or "adult" can be used on the dragon the player is looking at.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is there going to be dragon armor? And when?
A: I don't know yet for sure. It heavily depends on the reusability of the inventory code of the horses, which is quite bad in the moment. It may improve in the future, though.
Q: Dragons need to breathe fire! When are they going to do that?
A: That could happen within the next few releases.
Q: How do I get dragon eggs other than from boss fights:
A: You can enable chest spawning in the DragonMounts.cfg file. Open it with a text editor and change "B:eggsInChests=false" to "B:eggsInChests=true". Or, if cheats are enabled, you can also simply enter the chat command "/give dragon_egg".
Q: I tamed a dragon in singleplayer, but when I now try to interact with it, it says "This dragon doesn't follow your commands".
A: This could be an unresolved bug. As a workaround, you can use the chat command "/dragon tame" to reclaim the dragon.
Q: I'm a huge fan of ! Can you add for me?
A: This mod is supposed to be fandom-neutral so it's suitable for everyone. This also ensures consistency with Minecraft's look-and-feel. Therefore, I can't fulfill these special requests, sorry.
However, there are some WIP projects that may use the source code of this mod as a base for a fandom-based mod. Here are some examples:
- How To Train Your Minecraft Dragon - by Lacy99
- Inheritance Cycle / Shur'tugal - by Taklok
- DragonCraft by Nexrem (meganukebmp)
- Realm of The Dragons - by TheRPGAdventurer
