If your Castle builds need Dragons, then this is the Thread for you! I've wanted Tamable Dragons for a while now and I'd like to have them added to Vanilla MINECRAFT. I have an idea (Vague Description) for how they could work right here.
Dragons would be slower on land than horses! but not during flight!
To ride a Dragon, just get on them and put a saddle on them if you wish to control them. you could add dragon Armor (A rare loot that's like horse armor but bigger, and divided into 3 parts (Wings, Body and Neck & Head Armor). too, as well as add 2 chests. To fly, just hold the Jump Button to ascend and let go to descend, and to shoot, just click Bottom3/Middle Button (Or a button of your choice from CONTROLS setting) and hold to charge the Attack Meter (the more you hold the stronger the attack) that would appear on your off hand side.
To Customize your dragon (Creative mode), you can use dye to change the colors of the Body, Scales/Spine, Wings, Wing's spine and Eyes.
The Dragons could come with different abilities that you can also choose by summoning them or gating custom Spawn-Eggs through Commands, such as:
Shooting Fire that lingers if it hits something and will have Electric particles if your Attack Meter is about half way (To show that it's getting stronger (so Strong that the molecules move fast enough to create lightning))
and shoots 2 shards of lightning (if the Attack Meter is close enough to full).
2=Snow:
Shooting Snow balls shat slow you down and will take 2 Hearts of Health and will have Ice particles if your Attack Meter is about half way
and Shoots Ice that lingers if it hits something and will take 3 1/4 Hearts if Health and also slows you down (if the Attack Meter is close enough to full).
3=Thorns:
Shooting Thorns that lingers if it hits something and will take 1 Heart of Health and will have Dirt particles if your Attack Meter is about half way
and Shoots Stone spikes that will take 3 1/2 Hearts of Health (if the Attack Meter is close enough to full).
And
4=Light:
Shooting Blinding Light that will give a blinding affect that takes 1 1/2 Heart of Health and Hunger and will have Electric particles if your Attack Meter is about half way
and shoots lightning (if the Attack Meter is close enough to full) and a smaller Attack Meter.
To balance them:
What if you could only fly and/or fight on fuel? something that would consume your resources.
For example:
You would need to use a Blaze-Rod to control them and/or get struck by lightning and/or you'll need to feed:
Cole, Charcoal, Fire-Chargers and/or Wooded Items (To the Fire-Aspect Dragon),
Snow, Snow-Balls, Ice and/or Packed-Ice (To the Snow-Aspect Dragon),
Leaves, Wooden Items, Stone Variant Blocks, and/or Diamond Items (To the Thorns-Aspect Dragon),
to fly and/or recharge a gas/fuel meter that would be in your primary hand side!
This would make having a dragon a little more work to have! and just to add some salt! What if feeding them wouldn't heal them? Which would mean that you would have to wait about 3min-3 MC days until your Dragon's health is completely
This are my ideas for how they could be added to the game.
you could use a command and/or a Spawn-Egg to get it in the game and/or find a Dragon around rare Biomes.
Maybe have them spawn as Dragon-Eggs that would hatch if you Right Click on them with Flint & Steal.
I hope this thread is some day read by and espiers the Developers to re continue the Tamable Dragon.
and I Hope you like my ideas for how they could add them into the Game.
(I don't really care how they would work, so long as we get tamable dragons! )
Help me fight for chariots! And help me find a world where Players rom freely throughout the lands filled with animals and lush vegetation! The Game of MINECRAFT needs me! It needs YOU!!!
I like your optimism, but unfortunately, threads like these aren't uncommon, and they hardly receive positive criticisms. Let's get started; I'll try to make this quick and painless.
-If you could hatch the Dragon Egg, you'd lose the one trophy that could never be obtained again. Even though the Ender Dragon can be respawned as of the 1.9 Update, only the first, original Ender Dragon will relinquish the Egg. I guess that the Dragon spawned from the Egg could count as a trophy, but no one else would know that it came from the Dragon Egg; they'll most likely believe that you were wandering around and found it in a biome. Also, the Dragon could die, unlike the Dragon Egg, which you can only lose if you throw it in lava in a moment of durr.
-What are the exact stats of the Dragon? You may have listed the damage of its projectiles, but you don't provide its health, melee damage, etc. Overall, there are many points of vagueness that need to be covered.
-Being able to have unlimited flight is overpowered, especially since these Dragons could technically be found before the Elytra, which is a more balanced form of flight.
-How rare is this Dragon Armor? Where do you find it?
-The dyeing mechanic is bizarre and makes little sense. If the game followed that logic, we'd be able to mash dye into our Horse's fur as well.
-The developers don't view every thread on the forums; they browse the forums very rarely. About the only ideas taken from the forums and added to Minecraft are ideas that are so popular that Mojang takes more notice of them, and that they're flawlessly executed.
In the end, though you're certainly determined to make your idea successful, adding this just wouldn't work out. Sure, adding Dragons to Minecraft may be cool, but when you dig a bit deeper, the effects on the game by adding this would be disastrous. If you want to be able to ride Dragons, you can just use a mod.
Ahh, this suggestion appears once more. No. It's already been established that freely flying around the Overworld with no effort is beyond unbalanced, and on top of that, this dragon has all these elemental attacks.

Yeah, that guy in the avatar is me. I'm *that* strange. It happens. Sometimes people act like that. Just go with it. I can offer help with suggestions even before you post them - NOT make your suggestions - but help you with them.
If you want a few tips to improve this suggestion, I have some.
People complain about flight a lot, so you can just have them have a few double jumps.
People complain about the elemental attacks, I think they're pretty fair as long as the lightning isn't called from the sky and actually breathed.
I like and dislike the he idea of using dye simultaneously. Practicality wise it would be nice, but it seems strange as far as logic goes. Maybe have the dragons breed to get certain colors or have colors that match their element.
Final suggestion to make this more unique and less moddish, you can make dragon elements in between each element, or partially both elements (hybrid) if you breed the dragon, and you can make finding and breeding dragons something that players will want to persue a lot cementing it as a worthwhile gameplay feature.
Overall, even as it stands I like this suggestion. Dragon threads spawn frequently for a reason. And that reason is red dragons and the sky dimension have been desired by the community and hinted at by Mojang for a long time now, and the former fits Minecraft pretty well.
Thank You for your post! And I couldn't agree more with everything that you wrote.
I originally thought that my Idea for tamable dragons would be too OP, and that they should be only summoned instead. But I also thought that it would be great to have them in survival! :l then I thought that maybe we could choose in the settings, whether or not we would have them spawned in
(Like Starter-Chests) (Setting set to off as default).
SO if anyone thinks that it's too Unbalanced or too OP, they can't complain!
The Customizable part of the dragon could be for creative gameplay. So if you want a custom dragon texture, you can just go to creative!

I can't even think of a stronger word than "nope" right now. This is never the road you want to go down. There should never be an official game option for one mob. That just doesn't work.
SO if anyone thinks that it's too Unbalanced or too OP, they can't complain!
And you should never do something to "stop the complaining". At that point, your idea needs some Defcon 2 rebalancing or decide that it's best to not have it in the game at all.

The overpowered part comes from the fact that you can fly this thing. You can just fly over every single obstacle in your world which makes any other form of travel obsolete. Goodbye horses ♫, goodbye swiftness potions and goodbye minecarts. On top of that, this dragon of yours has 4 strong attacks. I don't even want to imagine how horrendous that would be in PvP.

Swiftness potions still have a use. They will always have a use.
Although I must say, I have never used Minecarts. They are totally obsolete in comparison to Horses, especially for exploration.
As an attacking death machine, I don't think that is a good idea. As a mode of transport... Well, it would be nice, but there are always mods, anyway.
Why not just have it that they are extremely difficult to get, find and tame?
That's a bad line thinking. Saying "this idea is very powerful, so i'll make it super hard to get to balance it" sounds good on paper, but it's not something that just patches up an idea.
If the very end-result of the idea is bad overall, you can't just fix it up with a balance change. You can make taming a dragon as difficult as you want, but once you manage it, it's permanent smooth sailing from there. For example, if I suggest "Super De Duper Diamond ore" that's 4 times more powerful than normal diamond, but it's 4 times rarer, it doesn't matter. In the end, the Super De Duper diamonds are still a stupid idea.

to fly and/or recharge a gas/fuel meter that would be in your primary hand side!
This would make having a dragon a little more work to have! and just to add some salt! What if feeding them wouldn't heal them? Which would mean that you would have to wait about 3min-3 MC days until your Dragon's health is completely recovered!:(
(I Know it's vague, but I don't know how to be any more specific).
Tell me if it needs some pepper, or do you think it's too much salt for your eggs?

Well, I think Dragon battles would be awesome for servers (Dragon Riders Battle Royal)! what do you think makes Dragons Unbalanced?
Too strong?
Too hard to find?
Can only Use Commands to get them (like Giants)?
You don't like the idea of using them to fight the Ender Dragon?
Do you think it wouldn't be fun to fight Dragon on Dragon?

Do people hate the idea of just having ride able dragons?
