DragonTravel

Table of Contents

DragonTravel gives players the opportunity to ride dragons in Minecraft.
It offers server-admins the possibility to add a new outstanding way of travel to their servers.

More videos on DragonTravel (including tutorials)

Features:

Allows admins to set destinations for the dragons.
Allows players with the specific permission to summon and mount a dragon and...
...fly flights which consists out of waypoints(as many as you like)
...fly to destinations which have been set by an admin before.
...fly to coordinates chosen via command.
...fly to players choosen via command(different permission-nodes for other types of travel).
...fly to your faction's home-position (Factions required)
...fly to your town's spawn (Towny required)
...fly to a home-position which has been set by this player earlier.
Allows admins to set stations and limit the mounting of dragons to these locations (or a specified radius around it).
Possibility to require a special item for players to use the plugin (e.g. a dragon-egg)
Making signs which automatically mount a player and bring them to the written destination on the sign.
Permissions-Support
Support of all Economy-Plugins supported by Vault (Vault is required for that)!
Admins can set different prices for all ways of travel!
Admins can choose in the config whether dragons of this plugin should destroy blocks or if any dragons should break blocks when touching.
All messages are fully customizable! Default messages.yml is English, but we provide German and French language files as well.

Due to the fact that things can change rapidly in this project, I stopped maintaining instructions on the plugin and other information like a list of commands/permissions in the forums, on this page etc. and decided to create a central location where you can always find all information up-to-date: The DragonTravel-Wiki.

Please use this wiki and report all mistakes you find in there and avoid posting questions on topics like commands/permissions/sign-creation etc., which are answered in the wiki, in the comments.

The questions and requests posted in the comments are repeating and there are some questions we answer at least once per week, so we decided to write down some of those Frequently Asked Questions.
Please read the questions below and see if you can find your question there, this really saves us time we can then spend on the development of DragonTravel.

Is it possible to change the speed the dragon's wings are flapping?
Is it possible to remove the dragon's health-bar?
Is it possible to control the dragon manually?
Is it possible to move the rider closer to the dragon to avoid him flying above it?
DragonTravel does not start, what can be the problem?

You can find the answers to those questions in the FAQ!

Please read the paragraph above before posting any questions!

To be honest, there are two reasons why I will not do this in the nearer future:

The plugin is in a very early stage

The plugin is using the freemium model and I do not like this in the open source sector...

The author of Kingdoms could easily use the DragonTravel API to implement support for DragonTravel in Kingdoms, but I will not do it the other way round.

Very early stage?????

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/kingdoms-battle-for-land-might-and-glory-1-8-8-1-11.11833/ see, there is also free demo version and it is from 25 April 2015 and looks on downloads and updates...

That plugin is supported be more plugins, I will try contact author Hex, but he doesn't have too time now.

Guess I took a look at the demo version, but its page seems to be outdated.

I still do not like paid plugins, in an environment of open source servermods and plugins, I find it somehow wrong, but that is just my opinion. Nevertheless this gives this feature a low priority on my todo list which means, it might take a while until I'll work on it. Feel free to create a pull request if you have some time to add the support. ;)

You can find a version of DragonTravel 01.006.04 compiled with JDK 7 at http://dl.phiwa.eu/DragonTravel-01.006.04_jdk7.jar

I did some changes to my setup and it seems like I accidently switch the JDK used for compilation.

I'll switch back with the next version, sorry for the inconvenience.

It's not working for me, I'm getting following error:

Could not load 'plugins/DragonTravel-01.006.03.jar' in folder 'plugins' > org.bukkit.plugin.InvalidPluginException: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: eu/phiwa/dragontravel/core/DragonTravel : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

I'm using Spigot 1.11 and version is telling me:

[19:03:37 INFO]: This server is running CraftBukkit version git-Spigot-f950f8e-c6d6844 (MC: 1.11) (Implementing API version 1.11-R0.1-SNAPSHOT)
>
[19:03:37 INFO]: Checking version, please wait...
>
[19:03:38 INFO]: You are 1 version(s) behind

I don't know why it says I'm one version behind as I freshly downloaded it.

Tried it with V 01.006.03 and 01.006.04.

It has nothing to do with the version of DragonTravel, but with the version of Java on your server.

Which version of Java (JRE/JDK) are you running on your server? I compiled DragonTravel with JDK8 (Java 8), so it seems like you are using an older one.

If you are hosting the server yourself (locally/virtual server/root server), you can use "java -version" from the shell to see the installed version, if you have the server running at some gameserver hoster, it is best to ask the support about this.

Thanks for your fast answer! The server is hosted at nitrado and indeed Java 7 was running on it. I changed it to V8, but I still get the errors. Here's the full log:

I don't really get it, should be working. I sent you a PM for further troubleshooting to prevent spamming the comments. :)

Travelling works or do you refer to all types of movement on the back of the dragon as "flight"?

I need some more information:

What DOES work? Which commands give you the expected result? Which exact ones DO NOT?

Which version of DragonTravel are you running`?

Which version of Craftbukkit/Spigot are you running`?

Did you change anything in the DragonTravel config?

Ah, okay, got your wrong, my fault.

You did not quite answer my first question, maybe I phrased it wrong:

- Which commands lead to invisible dragons? Only the flight command or the travel command as well? => Did you ever see a "DragonTravel dragon" with the new version?

Does the invisibility problem occur everywhere?

Leads to new question => Which plugins are you running? Do you use any plugin which prevents monsters from spawning (WorldGuard or similar). Could you give me a list of the installed plugins? Feel free to send them to me in a PM if you do not want to post them in public.

Hey :) I have a problem for my server: I can't use "/dt travel station player" using the console :/

it says "The console may not use this command in that way."

I really need to be able to move players from the console, is there a way to do it ?

I'll take a look at it, but it should be possible to do from the console. :)

I just released a new version which adds the possibility to use command from console. I don't know why I forgot to add this when I created the possibility to use the command as an admin from within the game... Thanks for your remark! :)

File should be available as soon as it has been reviewed... :)
