Tameable Dragon
Do you want a dragon mount? You will have to tame it first!
What? You are supposed to kill the Ender Dragon at the end of the game? What if I don’t want to kill it though? What if I want to tame it and use it as a mount? Or just watch it live in its natural environment? Oh well, I guess Teardown doesn’t need to have the same ending, right? Unless you really want to 😉
Huge thanks to TeardownDestructionClips for the Ender Dragon model, and for the demo video ^^
Also thanks to WELZZY for the extra Dragon models: Skeletal Dragon, Zombie Dragon, Christmas Dragon and Ghost Dragon 😉
You need to tame it to unlock the Dragons in the Spawn menu.
Hold some food in your hand to attract the Dragon.
To tame a Dragon, ride it, then press the key to go in the opposite direction of where it is trying to fly. Do that 5 times in a row without getting dismounted and it will be tamed. More tips here.
Only looking for a spawnable destructible ragdoll Dragon with no AI? Go check this mod 😉

CHARACTERISTICS
– There is 3 types of Dragons:
— Wild Dragons: Will fly around peacefully, you can try to tame them by mounting them.
— Enemy Dragons: Will attack you on sight, they cannot be tamed.
— Tamed Dragons: Will obey your orders and can be mounted at will.
– Dragons will most of the time be flying around.
– Dragons will rarely look for a spot to land and rest (≈20min).
– Dragons likes to eat smaller animals, they may try to catch one from time to time (≈5min).
– Dragons will attack back if they are shot or damaged by explosions.
– If they have nothing else to do and an enemy is visible, Dragons will attack it.
– Dragons have a really solid armor, but once it’s broken they become destructible.
– When mounting a Wild Dragon:
— It will rush in random directions, you need to make it stop (by pressing the key in the opposite direction) 5 times in a row to tame it.
— It will roar each time it changes flight direction.
— If you hold one of these animals in your hand and the Dragon can see it, it will come to eat it.
— The more you feed the Dragon, the more time you will have to react to stop the Dragon (+1s per 4 food eaten).
– Mouse over a Tamed Dragon to select it.
– Only the selected Tamed Dragon will accept orders.
– If you order a Tamed Dragons to fly to a location below itself, it will land instead.
– If you order a Tamed Dragons to land twice in a row, it will land faster.
– Tamed Dragons will roar if they cannot execute an order (eg: not enough space to land).
– When ordering to grab an item, the item will blink as long as the dragon is attempting to get it.
– When ordering a fieball, a circle will indicate the fireball blast radius as well as the hit location.
– Dragons have a colored outline when executing player orders.
– Enemy Dragons will attack the player on sight, this takes priority over any other action they are doing.
– Dragons of the type selected in the options will spawn.
– If one of them die, a new one will be created.
– After taming your first Dragon, you can spawn more Dragons of the desired type from the spawn menu even if the mod is not enabled.
– Your Dragon flies too far away so you can’t admire it in its full glory? Try reducing its flight altitude in the options.
– Your Dragon keeps missing the object you ask it to grab? Try activating the option to pull the object being grabbed.
– It is hard for your Dragon to transport items because they break too easily? Simply enable the option to make grabbed items unbreakable.
– You don’t want your Dragon to keep attacking invincible robots over and over again? Try adding "unbreakable" to the "Ignored tags" list in the options.
– Feeling like your Dragon is a bit too agressive and you don’t want it to keep attacking any living thing that cross it’s path? Just empty the "Enemy tags" list in the options.
– You engaged in an epic battle agains a Dragon and you would like to know just how much armor it has left? Check the button to display Dragon armor in the options.
EASTER EGGS
