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).

Thanks to Danither for making this video!
Hmm i got a bug... The dragons disapear sometimes. Dont know why....
The next is, that permissions are not needed...
Nice job DragonMaster4131!
Features i would love to have.
- smoother handling (maybe i m just to stupid for it, but it would be cool when the dragon reacts a bit faster :D)
- configs (for disabling the fireballs and so on)
- Dragon is bound on item (maybe a dragon egg).
- A comment for unstuck the Dragon. It feels like it stuck sometimes
- possibility to ride together on one Dragon.
- You could make a Dragon that can fly at a defined route. Like the feature in Dragontravel.
Keep working =) and thanks again for your remake :)
@DragonMaster4131
omg... your a beast.... thanks a ton
How large is the inventory for the dragons?
@DragonMaster4131
Thats cool, I don't have much Java experience either, but C# is very similar so I figured I would give developing some new features a shot.
Anybody have any ideas for new features?
@samGwin
At this time, I haven't enough experience with Java (I usually work with vb net). But I can update it to the latest version...
Ok, I updated it to 1.4.7:
Link Removed: http://www.mediafire.com/?d92h7amhx8d57ah
Ha, you beat me to it! Just updated it myself too. Are you thinking of doing any other dev work on it?
Update to 1.4.7
Ok, I updated it (RideThaDragon is now for Minecraft 1.4.7) :) : Link Removed: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zv96z4ipku1mcza
I tested it with Bukkit 1.4.7 R1.0 Recommended Build (#2624). Have Fun :)...
Also is it for a special type of server?
@DeadlyElite
:/ most people seem to be saying it doesn't work with 1.4.7
Is it at 1.4.7?
change to 1.4.7?
@Jahb57

@FlyingPikachu: Go 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:
1.4.7 plz
@TRaiOdYo
Or atleast left a source code so someone could just pick it up D:
I just kinda wish that before leaving, V10lator chose someone to continue the plugin... well do we have any takers? anyone?
Update please, needing this for my Servers Guardians ("Nazgûl" - If i typed that right)
Update pleas :D
So V10lator... What would you charge for an updated version ?
We know you can produce one whats it worth to ya >:]
