  • Taming and Riding: Each dragon has specific favorite foods and treats. Consult the Dragon Manual for guidance (not all dragons have documented taming, so for some of them you will have to test your trainer skills).
  • Prey Catching: Fly close to animals (e.g., yaks, cows, pigs, chickens, sheep) and press G to catch prey. Disable landing (K key) for easier hunting.
  • Scale Shedding: Dragons unable to fly (e.g., indoors) will shed scales over time, used for crafting armor.

    • Descend: Left Control (default).

Special Features:

  • Gronckle Iron Crafting: Feed a Gronckle the Gronckle Iron Mixture (crafted with calcite, sandstone, obsidian, raw iron, and a bucket) to produce Gronckle Iron, a lightweight yet powerful material for weapons and armor.

Plants

4 Plants Available:

  1. Dagga
  2. Dragon Nip
  3. Angel Fern
  4. Dragon Root

Notable Uses:

  • Dragon Nip Cure Mixture: Combine 2 Dragon Nips, 1 Dagga, and 1 Lily of the Valley to craft a Cure Mixture, which can:
    • Be brewed into potions for up to 3 personal cures.
    • Be combined with Yak Milk on a Milk Pot to create a Bucket of Eel Pox Cure, usable on mobs and yourself.
  • Dragon Root: Found in forests; right-click to harvest roots or break the plant for seeds.Crafting Uses:
    • Dragon Root Soup: Add slices to a heated cauldron; yields tipped arrows of poison (2 uses per slice).
    • Dragon Nip Stew: Combine root slices, yak milk, mushrooms, and a bowl for high saturation and food. Cures speed-related effects 90% of the time but may cause nausea/poisoning (10%).
  • Angel Fern: Found in coniferous forests; slows walking but boosts jumping.
    • Used in crafting Slow Falling Potions.

Animals

Yaks:

  • New "cow-like" animal that drops fur and meat.
  • Yak Milk Uses (on the new Milk Pot block):
      1. Chocolate Yak Milk: Grants Speed III.
      2. Yaknog: High saturation and food value.
      3. Glow Cheese: Grants glowing effect

All recipes for these new foods are on the Dragon Manual


Weapons

Hiccup's Inferno Sword:

  • Modes: Retracted, Extended (No Fire), and Extended (With Fire).
  • Requires filling it with Monstrous Nightmare Gel to ignite. To fill it, right-click with the gel on the off-hand and the retracted sword on the main-hand.

  • Two modes: Closed (acts as an axe) and Extended (acts as a sword).

Other Features

  • Improved Dragon Manual with more documentation.
  • New mechanics for Fish Traps (use glow squid ink sac to attract fishes).
