i absolutley adore the "Dragon Mount" mod by barracutaATA, but sadly Multiplay servers dont allow server mods only bukkit plugins. I was wondering if somebody could make an identical plugin like this or if theyres any already out there i havent seen. the minecraft forum page can be found here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/827863-132-dragon-mounts-09pre2-wip/ i personally think this would be an amazing idea, i have the best idea in my head of all the admins on the server riding around on dragons looking over the players, would be epic!
It is possible, without spout Edit: Things like the sitting animation and such wouldn't work, but the basic concept would work fine. Edit2: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/dragontravel/
Customising mob behaviour might allow for something like that, it'd be a bit of a project to get dragons to behave though!
Well, right now, Bukkit is limited to modifying the server. If you use something like Spout, it adds the possibilities add new blocks and items to the game, as well as control mobs to a greater extent.
1.4 has the new "plugins" feature, a modding API which will allow client-server mod/plugin interpretation.
Oh Oh, not looking this up or testing, but... As far as I can tell dragons follow a target point for moving. So if you set 0,0,0 as their target they will travel to 0,0,0. So can you simple get the player's line of sigh, and get like 10 blocks out and have the dragon go to that 10 blocks out location? So wherever the player is looking the dragon will travel.
Same as Dragon said so basically you have bukkit and all other mods in single player and on vanilla servers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is that coming out already? :O Oh wait, they hired Bukkit, forgot about that. Would have taken a few years otherwise.
