Talk:Dragon

Speculation: Colors
So, I play DnD often, and we've found that personalities are different according to the color of the dragon. Like, a green dragon would be passive hostile, and a black dragon would be hostile all the time. I think that would be something notch might do, but I'm not sure. There's also the possibility of something like spiders; Friendly in the day, hostile at night. What do you guys think? Am I missing anything?

 * Idea:If you kill a green dragon,it will give you the green dye,kill a black dragon and you'll get-Redstone? I'm just saying,the redstone could be his eyes,like a cursed dragon :D

 * Hmm, maybe bones too? Or possibly scales?
 * By Malde37, at 18:37, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm all for scales. They could be used for Armor or *gasp* that dragon equipment in that mod set. I forget what it's called, but Notch may be able to make Chainmail and other things with scales.

ive found an animation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Chjt2FNfPMw&feature=related of possible dragon [mewtwoy]

Dropping fire?
Is there really any reason to believe that Dragons would drop fire just because Notch ahs said that chainmails will be added to the game without hacking? It would make more sense that the recipe changes for chainmail, IMO. --Urian 07:03, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Wait, wtf? Why would dragons drop fire? I mean, maybe they could breathe it and you could catch it, but dropping it? I'm removing this. --R ocĸetor talk  07:52, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Refrain from Posting Fan Theories Please
They are a planned mob, but until Notch actually announces what he is going to do with the dragons in better detail, adding anything about what the dragons *MIGHT* do or work is essentially a fan theory. We don't know if dragons are going to have different colors, talk, lay eggs, fly, be trainable, be small, large or colossal, destroy blocks, drop bones/fire/talons/teeth/gas sacs/wings or anything that you guys keep on speculating, and rather than put uncited theories onto the page, it's best to just make a suggestion thread about them on the forums.

Flying
I think it's likely that they will fly, because one of the current statistics that has been hidden in minecraft.jar is "distance flown". Anyone think this should be mentioned in the article? JesusChrist666 01:05, 6 April 2011 (UTC)


 * No, it's nothing more than conjecture. Notch explicitly said on Twitter that "distance flown" is very difficult to add to in the current version of Minecraft, suggesting that rather than true flight, the statistic may currently be intended to track the distance you are thrown by explosions or knockback from mob hits. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 02:40, 6 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Whether they fly or not, it will not be possible to mount them, for anyone who is interested in knowing this. Ysulyan 22:49, 27 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Where did you hear this? --Technoman7 16:02, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

allied
when the add the dragon i hope it would be allied with the player but they should only appear in the nether By Abigmojanglover Saturday june 18 6:25 pm 2011

That would remove the fun and the point of a dragon. Khosumet 19:59, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

-Ya, or else that would take the fun out of having dragona. I mean who just wants another predator. It would be sweet if you could only kill them with only diamonds though, and to tame them you give them gold!!!!! Holy bejebus imagine if he adds wizards, and you spell ingredients include dragons blood!!!!

If They drop Scales do you think they might be the thing that makes Chainmail Legit?
Notch said that Chainmail would eventually be legitimate, and Dragons may come in the 1.7 update (The "Scary Monster" coming out) so do you think that they will be the source for Chain armor?


 * If so, then they would have to enhance the defense of it, because Chainmail has the same durability as a golden armour. It wouldn't make sense to have an armour with such low durability if it was made out of dragon scales. Ysulyan 23:13, 27 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Good idea, it should either be above diamond armor (if dragons are rare/bosses) or be in between iron and diamond (if they spawn in the nether or like normal enemy mobs)
 * But that would be scale mail, not chain mail... Dragons aren't made out of chains ;) --Warlock 21:47, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Dragon scales could be crafted into chains? Just because dragon armor is kinda overused.

how to train a dragon
I think a dragon would have the same AI as a wolf BUT you can attach a saddle onto the dragon and if you want the dragon to sit, you punch the dragon and the dragon will sit. you would be able to make it fly by looking in the direction where you want to fly and use the WASD keys to control it unlike the pig. you could also punch to make the dragon to spit fire. to get off of the dragon you right click. i also forgot to mention that the dragon should be resistant to bare fists and spawn in a new biome i came up with, a wasteland. its an ash-covered area with lots of volcanos (lava pools). ill talk about it more in the biomes section. i hope these ideas get applied to this dragon.- reallitup2 OH! i forgot to add that they can be tamed by feeding them 4-5 silverfish and they have a 1.5% of spawning in a wasteland and 0.3% of spawning in any other biomes. When you find one, it will be sleeping and when you approach it, it will wake up but not attack you and its pupils will be blue. when you tame it, its pupils will turn black. when its aggressive, its pupils will turn red. also, some sleepy music will play when you approach a sleeping dragon.

Fire for the "face icon" ???
Why?

Take Page Down
It was an idea that i think Notch thought about, but decided not to add. The page should go down. Blue Spiders almost went down. why not dragons? Tropius 01:26, 7 September 2011 (UTC)Tropius

-He said a while ago that he would add them.
 * Notch posted on Twitter "enderdragon" and "it's what i've been working on today" in ROT13 today. Doesn't really sound like a dead idea. --Barracuda 00:05, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * What language is that in? Swedish? Norse? I cant tell, so i need to know how you decoded it so i can see if i get the same results
 * It's "encrypted" with ROT13, as I said. --Barracuda 03:33, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Add picture?
Notch recently uploaded a picture of a dragon to twitter/imgur. Not sure how to add the image, can someone else do it? Or is it too minor to be worth doing? https://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/122249624407916544 Rdm box 12:31, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * It's already on Enderdragon, I don't think we need it here, too. --Barracuda 13:03, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * It shouldn't be. Dragon is the species while Enderdragon is the specific mob. Also, until Notch confirms that the Enderdragon was the original dragon mentioned on this page and that there are no other dragons to come, this page should stay up. --HexZyle 23:52, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Posted picture and background of it
Notch had posted a picture about the new ender world and when i looked at it closely it seems there are some new blocks thye where what ever the towers are made of it must be a new block. Pokemongage 05:39, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Those are obsidian blocks for the towers, but the sand looks freakily like a new block. Anyway, this is not the place to discuss this. Read the Ender page and its related talk page. --HexZyle 05:57, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Merge
I believe the pages should be merged with Dragon turned into a disambiguation page. --Ecksearoh 10:27, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * . If anything, this page shouldn't exist, since "Dragon" is not the official name for the mob, "EnderDragon" is. Perhaps place all the historical information about the ideas of a dragon at the bottom of the Enderdragon page. --HexZyle
 * And what is there that is ambiguous? There is just the Enderdragon, on its page, and the history of the development of a dragon, on this one. This page should be turned into a redirect to the Enderdragon page, and ONLY IF a new dragon occurs, the history of a dragon moved back onto this one and turned into a disambigation page. --HexZyle 11:30, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh looky here, it's been confirmed that they're different creatures! SO STOP TRYING TO MERGE IT! Spider and Cave Spider aren't on the same pages, now are they? CDi-Fails 13:18, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I haven't read any official material in the last 48 hours. Did Notch make another dragon? (in addition to the enderdragon?) --HexZyle 14:16, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Nope just the Enderdragon, which is why his edits make no sense. --Ecksearoh 14:21, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

This needs to be unmerged as Notch has mentioned normal red Overworld dragons. -- Mini Munch 17:30 12/10/2011
 * All this page needs is to be a history page, containing all the info that is currently duplicated on both the Enderdragon and Red Dragon pages --HexZyle 13:25, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
