Adds dragons that you can tame (and sometimes ride)
Useless Reptile is a Fabric mod that aimed to bring some dragons into your world that you can tame (or kill).
Warning: mod is Work-in-Progress and a lot of stuff may change in the future updates.
Discord Server
Currently supported game versions: whatever is current Minecraft latest release until modded community picks their new favorite toy version because I literally cannot backport this to 1.21.1 or lower for technical reasons (well... not saying it's impossible, but some stuff will be lacking, and it's a lot of work I'm not willing to do for free)
YetAnotherConfigLib and Fabric API are required.
Mod versions below 0.12.0 require Geckolib.
For mod versions below 0.3.0 Cloth Config API is required instead of YetAnotherConfigLib.
Some mod versions for 1.19.2 may require AzureLib instead of Geckolib
Note: older versions may not contain all features listed.
Swamp Wyvern - can be found on swamps and tamed with 1-2 stacks of raw chicken. You can ride tamed Swamp Wyverns with use of a saddle. You can also get acid from it by right-clicking with empty bottle and use the acid later as any other potion. Cannot equip armor.
Can shoot acid blasts with mediocre accuracy and bite.
Moleclaw - can be found in caves and tamed with 0.5-1 stacks of beetroot. Needs saddle to be ridden, useful for digging. Afraid of light, but can ignore it if Moleclaw Helmet is equipped.
By default can only destroy blocks that wooden pickaxe can break. You can use strength or weakness potions to break blocks requiring stronger tool or to completely prevent block breaking.
Has only melee AoE attacks.
River Pikehorn - can be found near non-frozen rivers and on beaches. You can tame it with bucket of tropical fish and use flute for extra level of control over your Pikehorns, like sending them to fish for you or attack some mob. Oh, and also you can put one on your head (you have to crouch to put dragon on and off).
Has only melee attacks.
Lightning Chaser - can appear during thunderstorms near any player. To tame it you have to defeat it in a fight by taking down to low HP and successfully hitting it with lightning at least 3 times (you can use Trident with Channelling enchantment for that). Can be ridden with saddle on.
Lightning breath attacks can trigger same effect as normal lightning strike (i.e. transforming Villagers into Witches, creating charged Creepers, e.t.c.), but without setting target on fire. And also destroys blocks. Shockwave attack can be used to deflect projectiles and push back mobs. Shockwave can be used only if dragon is flying, otherwise dragon can use bite.
Both shockwave and lightning breath inflict shock effect that decreases attack and movement speed and obscures vision.
Note: some pre 0.8.0 mod versions (like versions for Minecraft 1.20.1) have this dragon, but it cannot appear naturally and lacks some parts of AI
Magmamuncher - can be found in The Nether near lava lakes. To tame you have to give it 4-12 Blaze Rods. From time to time will attempt to dig up Magma Blocks, turning those into Depleted Magma blocks and sometimes digging up coal in process. Depleted Magma can turn back into magma over time if placed in either The Nether or near lava.
Dragon itself can be put on head. When on head, if it has any furnace fuel items in inventory, it can consume those to apply Fire Resistance effect on its owner if they manage to catch on fire.
Dragon has only melee attacks with chance to set target on fire. Immune to fire.
You can add custom dragon variants and dragon equipment via power of data and resource packs, that Mojang gladly made very useful for mod makers too.
You can read more about those features and see examples here:
Q: I found a bug! How can I report it?
A: If you found a bug, please report it in #mod-feedback-bug-reports at the Discord server, following the instructions.
Q: I have some ideas for this mod, where I can leave one?
A: Leave your ideas at the Discord server. Can't say that I'll listen to all of them, but who knows me.
Q: I want to share my resource/data pack that I made for this mod, where I can do so?
A: You can promote your packs at the Discord server in #mod-user-generated-content as well as upload to other platforms.
Q: Can you backport mod to 1.18/1.16/1.7.10/Beta 1.0/insert-some-old-version-of-your-choice-here?
A: No. They are old, lack performance and features that latest versions have
Q: Can you port this mod to Forge/other mod loader?
A: I'm not going to do it myself because this is too much for me, and I'm personally not a big fan of Forge bloatness (kinda includes NeoForge too). But I'm open for anyone who is wishing to make port themselves.
But if you wish to use this mod with NeoForge here and now, you can use Sinytra Connector. Warning: no complaints about incorrect work of the mod in this case will be reviewed. I'll accept bug reports only if you were using mod on Fabric/Quilt
Q: When is update?
A: I can't give any ETA on any update. I have real life stuff to deal with (more specifically my study at university) and I never know how it'll turn out and how much of free time I'll have. Also keep in mind there's only one person (me, the owner) working on this project.
