Perhaps eggs could also generate in ancient, destroyed structures as long abandoned "loot"? Imagine how cool that'd be to come across.
Maybe but to give balance maybe dragons that spawn near your house or that you come across will try to kill you because they see that baby as competition or food.
i would like 2 dragons fighting for territory.

Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world — "No, you move
From what I understand as an observer, dragons cannot be tamed "normally", you gotta steal an egg and tame them at birth or whatever. Of course it does say the whole egg snatching thing hasn't been discussed much, so it's probably bound to change in the future once they start to actually implement it.
dragons are fictional creatures, people can do these however they like, hell they could make them poop gold (yes poop, do you have a problem with that?)

You completely misunderstood... >.< as an observer to this thread and the info the devs have provided is what I meant. Such as the OP says: under "Plans" says: "They can be tamed via stealing eggs, however this part of the mod hasn't been discussed much as of yet."
I'm merely relaying onto someone with question, an answer I believe to be correct for this mod and the devs that are developing it, not how dragons act because that changes based on the one telling the story. Some versions of dragons can take human forms, but this mod isn't going to do that (as far as I am aware, doesn't seem like the direction they want, but I'm no dev xD). This is just a single example, I hope you can understand now.
Also on an unrelated note, I hope the dragon bows end up having like a "dent" at the center most part of the bow like this pic:
(The edges are a bit lackluster, but it was mainly just to show off something I couldn't suggest in words)
Modern day animals such as bald eagles have a facial pattern based system allowing adults to recognise if the competition in the area is sexually mature. As a result they won't just attack random juveniles. It is much the same with dragons as they only become sexually mature at stage 4 and 5. What you describe is less of dragons fighting and more of the older dragon cannibalising your baby.
oh well i would like to see dragons fighting for territory.

Dude it does look great. More damage? set mobs on fire? a special attribute?

This was just a sprite suggestion, since dragon bows are planned and I haven't got a suggestion for function as of yet (I plan on many more suggestions to come!). I'd assume that they act similar to armor (lessening dragon damage from that specific type) but instead as a weapon, allowing for armor penetration to that type (or maybe the opposite type, fire bow on a fire dragon doesn't make much sense now does it). Since it was said by a dev the higher stage dragon the higher projectile protection (then again it's a bow and not the actual arrow xD). Of course nothing is concrete until they say it is, but alas if I waited until then they wouldn't need suggestions!
(For the sake of not double posting)
Hoping formatting doesn't mess this up too bad.
While I'm at it, I may as well suggest anything that comes to mind. It is good to note I have tried modding (inexperienced and dabbled in minor stuff), so I have (hopefully) a little more idea at what's hard or whatever. That being said, as a suggester I don't really keep "difficulty" in mind, so whether the things I actually say are possible... who knows. On to it! Gonna (try to) keep it short and sweet.
Combat Suggestions
-A wing gust attack like this (skip to 0:58):
For the knockback effect, not shooting projectiles
-The dragon dives towards it's opponent prey from the sky, crashing to the ground sending a shockwave around it.
The idea, is the dragon is changing fighting "stances", from air combat to up close and personal (if you've ever played/seen the game Nosgoth, I would say it's like a reverse takeoff)
Less Developed/Idea Sparkers
(These include anything that came across my mind, whether I personally liked it or not)
-A simple tail whip perhaps?
-Some sort of cripple/pin?
The tail whip could actually be a cripple I suppose...
-Armor shred?
They are dragons after all and I don't mean like Dungeon Mobs' Hook Horror which literally destroys armor in seconds, but maybe a debuff like in terraria "broken armor" that lowers defense could be interesting.
-Kill threshold?
If we are talking dragons with large enough mouths, it would be cool (to watch) if a player is at a certain amount of HP, the dragon can simply devour them. (Disclaimer: Balancing isn't my thing, absurd ideas are)
-Dragon Blood...?
As a boast or whatever, I soooo wanna drink dragon blood and be all like I got dragon blood in me m8

So from one of the development pics I see that as of that screenshot, the dragon dens only have some gold coins. Is this how decorated they will be or can/will they contain more? I'd love to see the swords of foolish adventurers stuck in the dragon's loot, even their armor. But more than all of that will we be seeing some bones/skulls? As a nice touch for fire dragons, since they spawn in extreme hills I would hope they would have some emeralds stashed away (from eating the miners who dare search for the jewel).
I'm happy to announce that the Fire Dragon variants are now finnished and the Ice Dragon ones will follow shortly. Each Dragon type has 4 variants. Fire Dragons will come in: Fire Red, Emerald Green, Bronze and Grey. Ice Dragons will come in: Ice Blue, Sapphire Blue, Silver and White. That way each type has a element variant, a gem variant, a metal variant and a desaturated variant.
Great now everyone will be able of having colored dragons, i am thinking that if this mod gets released we could have some awesome factions server.

Great ideas.
When you said Smaug sized, did you mean 100+ blocks?
Or just something pretty big?

Smaug is as long as a blue whale...
so 30 blocks
Oh, I thought he was bigger.
Guess not.
25-33 blocks it is.

NO!I mean, uh, maybe. See my quote for Frog's post.
He's 25 meters long, actually.
