Dragon control
Controlling your dragon is simple: Look in the direction you want it to fly.
Use the sneaking key to toggle the parking brake.
Since v4.0 you can control the dragon with the arrow keys! For that to work the server needs the SpoutPlugin and the player Spoutcraft. Both is completely optional.
Since v5.0 you can let your dragon shoot a fireball with a left click while riding on it.
Dragon inventory
Since v5.0 each dragon has a inventory. To access it simply right click your dragon!
Dragon feeding
To make your dragon temporary faster right click it with a golden apple in your hand. Every apple will give +0.1 speed (max: +1.0 speed).

This plugin was discontinued a long time ago. Some people have updated it a bit in the comments, but I'm not sure if they still work, and last I checked they were still a bit buggy.
@BarisOzkaya
Same thing. There is no longer any official support. You can try to find someone to make their own versions of this or try to tackle it on yourself, but I don't think they can release it on the repo here because the project still belongs to V10lator.
When 1.7.9 version of the RideThaDragon will come ?
I can test the plugin for you and help you with the plugin of you want?
How i can get this plugin for 1.7.2?
@Darunia18
i working on that on last feel commits... don't have time to test all , but it you test for me will help !
@stutiguias
By the way, I just wanted to say that I love the work you're doing with the plugin, but for the safety of my server's map and so no one cheats, I cannot download and use RideThaDragon until the portal and xp bugs are fixed. I am super excited to start using it soon, though, and so are many of my players! :D
@TheBuffXY
You can check out stutiguias's GitHub for a latest build of RideThaDragon. Sadly, the main developer has stopped working on it and the other person who updated it in the comments stopped updating, so now stutiguias is updating it, and it works in the latest version, with not too many bugs I don't think. She commented below with some links, so check those out!
How Much Does it Cost To Buy A Dragon If you do /dragon?
Hi, Were i can download the vision for 1.7.4 or 1.7.2?? You can add me also on Skype when you have the answer: TheBuffXY
@Darunia18
i need to fix that bug and others bug... working on that... right now not safe to use! report at https://github.com/stutiguias/RideThaDragon/issues
@FlyingPikachu
:) working
@stutiguias
Looking forward to it!
@stutiguias
Ok awesome! :D It seems as the last developer who updated this has become inactive, so I'm glad someone has finally taken up the project again! I am just wondering if you updated any of the previous bugs, such as some really bad control stuff, dragons able to be killed and dropping XP and dragon portals, etc. Some of those bugs were very important to fix. Either way, I will still have to wait to be able to use this again, as my server is having a few CPU issues with our host and are trying to avoid installing or enabling anything for awhile.
@Darunia18
not need i already make a version for 1.7 and its work ( need to fix some bugs, not stable yet ) ... i update and clean all code... and put all in one jar with no depends... :) ( stutiguias.com )
@stutiguias
The original developer stopped developing for Bukkit, but a commenter has released some updated versions. However, none of them work in 1.7 builds. If you want to download them, don't use Firefox, as there's a weird bug with it.
This plugin not update for more then a year now ( 1.4.5 DEC 19 2012 ) .. i need this and i will update ! :)
@DragonMaster4131
Hey, would you be able to add the option that dragons will always be despawned once a player dismounts them? That would be very useful. Thanks for the great work on this plugin! :D
~IMPORTANT!!!~~ I don't want to sound like a spammer, but it IS important. libigot.org is down...I get a gray screen when I go on it...
Hello there . I just wana say I just found a really bad bug for pvp servers. It is : You type /dragon , you ride your dragon hi , after double spacebar and then /dragon remove. This bug gave /fly to players who have access to the dragon. So they can fly legaly and didn't get kicked.
Thanks to look at this.
darkshadow966
behaves as the "lag" with this plugin? Imagine 40 people using the dragon. ever tried?
@DragonMaster4131
Nice work, the start controls were shitty & confusing, glad they're now fixed. Please also update the very rather limited fireballs shot from the dragon as the control for them is unclear.
