Useless Reptile
by Nord_Act
Useless Reptile adds dragons that players can tame, and some can be ridden, to a Fabric world running Minecraft 26.3.
What it does
Tamed dragons are the core of the mod. The Moleclaw is found in caves and tamed with beetroot; it can be ridden with a saddle and is useful for digging. Vortex Horns, an upgraded Goat Horn, store dragons inside them, and a Flute gives control over dragons from a distance. Dual Saddles let two players ride the Swamp Wyvern together.
The server and every player need the mod installed. It requires Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL). Files are published for Fabric across 22 release versions, 1.19.2 – 26.3, with snapshot builds also published. The mod is not open source; All rights reserved applies, while the source code and issue tracker are publicly linked.
Key features
Tameable dragons
Moleclaws, Swamp Wyverns and other dragons can be tamed and sat down or stood up with a stick or goat horn while crouching.
Vortex Horn storage
An upgraded Goat Horn holds a dragon inside it, so it can be carried and released again.
Flute control
The Flute gives control over tamed dragons at a distance, from the player's position.
Dual Saddle riding
A Dual Saddle fitted to a Swamp Wyvern seats a second player, so two players can ride it together.
Variant Changing Orb
A utility item that changes any dragon's variant, obtainable through Creative Mode or commands.
