Dragoncolonies Minecolonies+Book of Dragons by Karl Karlmann
Dragoncolonies connects the Minecolonies and Book of Dragons mods, adding dragon roosts, dragon riders and beastmaster citizens to a colony.
What it does
A dragon roost is a colony building where tamed dragons are stored along with their health and hunger data. Beastmaster citizens feed and heal injured or hungry dragons from the colony's food storage. When a stored dragon starves, it becomes less trusting of its keeper, and once that trust is gone the tame state ends and the dragon may leave the roost.
Dragon riders take flight with a guard job: a citizen mounts a dragon, hovers directly over it and patrols the colony from the air, staying in position during aerial combat. Movement is aligned with the dragon's saddle bone in real time. Players select tamed dragons with a bound Roost Pointer item and send them straight to roost storage.
Dragoncolonies is a bridge mod and requires both Minecolonies and Book of Dragons, which must run alongside it on Forge for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license, is not open source, and public source code links exist.
