Tiny Dragons
by Mizz
Tiny Dragons adds dragon eggs that hatch into tamed companions, and the dragons can be raised and ridden in the world.
What it does
A dragon egg is found in the world and must be hatched. The egg needs intense heat: placing it in a bonfire, a magma block, a lava cauldron or directly into lava starts the process, which takes about ten minutes. A shaking egg that gives off smoke shows that heat is reaching it.
Once hatched, the dragon begins as a wild creature. A wild dragon does not attack, though it may run away when it is outdoors. Taming it requires raw rabbit meat or raw chicken meat. The mod requires Geckolib and runs on the client and the server, so both the server and every player need it. Builds exist for both Forge and NeoForge, and the newest release on each loader is 0.0.5.
The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Dragon eggs are described by the author as relics of unknown origin, and each hatch produces a dragon of random breed, so every dragon can differ in appearance and skill set.
Key features
Dragon eggs to find
Dragon eggs are placed in the world as rare finds that begin the hatching process.
Heat-based hatching
Eggs hatch only when set in bonfires, magma blocks, lava cauldrons or lava, which takes roughly ten minutes.
Wild dragons that flee
A newly hatched dragon stays wild, does not attack, and may flee outdoors until it is tamed.
Taming with food
Raw rabbit meat or raw chicken meat is offered to tame a wild dragon.
Dragon skills
Each tamed dragon has its own set of skills, which the author lists as a separate feature of the mod.
