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).

Posted Dec 23, 2012This mod would be perfectly paired with the dragoneggs mod, then it would allow us to spawn a dragon that is tame and ride it. It could be a reward for beating the Enderdragon as I have it set that he will drop as many eggs as there are PC's in the end.

Posted Dec 16, 2012@Jahb57 Actually DragonTravel is made by XemsDoom and shares code with RideThaDragon. XemsDoom is leaving the community, too (see the link two posts below) and the sad thing is that (almost?) all plugins which mess with deagon movements use this shared codes (made by XemsDoom and me). You don't see that when you use the plugin but I would expect all of them to break soon (if not already happened). All you can do is hope that their devs are able to handle the complicated codes without our help.

Posted Dec 14, 2012@FlyingPikachu The big "Good bye everyone!" is a link (don't ask me why bukkitdev makes it grey). There behind you see why I leave and what will happen with my plugins. I just see that I would have to edit my post there, but I can't as it's locked. :(
What I forgot to say there is that the sources of my plugins are always in the jar file (if there's no separate link to them).
Again, and this time I tell you that this is a link:
Good bye everyone!

Even so, it's strange to happen upon someone's abandoned dragon. And yes, players often leave their dragons in or around spawn (we have mob-spawning disabled in the region, but players return to it later and switch worlds). :(
As for inventories, I can't imagine an Admin chasing down a player just to click their dragon. Would making that into a command be considered?

Posted Nov 25, 2012@FlyingPikachu I see. But that's the expected behaviour. That way admins can look into dragon inventories of offline players, for example. But the problem shouldn't be that big as dragons load and unload with the chunk they are in. So as long as you don't have all dragons at the spawn it should be fine. ;)

I made this ticket: http:dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/ridethadragon/tickets/13-remove-dragon-on-dismount/
What I mean by "stack up" is people will abandon their dragons (usually new players who log out without using /dragon remove), so there tend to be a bunch of motionless dragons scattered throughout the world.

Posted Nov 22, 2012I find when i update to a new Bukkit version the dragons in the server decide to fly around on their own, attacking everyone they see, until a new RideTha is released for that build. I'm running build #2455 and I want to update to build #2488. Will i have such a problem this time? If so will a compatible version be released soon? Some of my players are locked out because i'm behind on the update.
