I’ve said how awesome Enderdragons are in Minecraft. The best mob added ever. But to be able to RIDE one?! Holy fucking shit between two epic buns!<\/p>\n
AnimalBikes makes it happen. Not only you being able to be the master of the skies on your very own Enderdragon, you can also ride Creepers, Pigs, Chickens.. pretty much every mob in Minecraft.
\nTo install this wonderful mod, takes time and previous knowledge of how to work with minecraft.jar and .class files. Fortunately I have both. You need only three mods to get it working. The main mod (of course), ModLoader, and ModLoaderMp Client (you can also use this in SMP, but Bukkit isn’t updated yet so that’s a no go).<\/p>\n
Once everything’s done, you have to craft these wheels, which are called “Bikes”. Think of them as your control over the beast. To craft the Dragon Bike, you need eight End Stones, and put a Saddle in the middle. Like this;
\nXXX
\nX0X
\nXXX
\nX = End Stone
\n0 = Saddle<\/p>\n
And boom, you got a Dragon Bike.
\nThen you right click the ground with it and hello.. an Enderdragon!! Right click to hop on. Then use Space to fly up, and Left Shift to fly down. This isn’t actually easy for left-handers like myself.<\/p>\n
If you have a Flint and Steel with you, right click on the dragon (while riding it) and it will actually breath fire! Super epic. Don’t worry about your house burning down or torching the map, as there’s an option to disable damage done by the dragon’s firebreath (if only there was an option to turn off the Enderdragon mob’s firebreath. then I wouldn’t have holes in my mountains and rivers).<\/p>\n

\nAnyway, I mentioned also in the title that the map is disappointing me. This is true. I decided to fly south from the first station for the INNER LOOP LINE to see what else is past it. Except for vast oceans, there is really nothing but generic, uninteresting landscape. No islands. No nothing. It makes me want to move the Stone Towers I found over to this map, just for the hell of it. But to find a good location for them is another story.
\nThat, + the Dragon Bike? Ohh god so much fun…<\/p>\n
Finding those towers in my previous map was a freak accident. There’s no other map out there with floating towers like that. But since I know how the map terrain generator did it, it should be easy to re-create this phenomenon in MCEdit. The towers were pretty much, chunks ripped out of the ground and suspended in the air, with what’s left a giant, deep pool of water that can go right down to the bedrock. But they have to have more of a shape than a giant floating block in the sky.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
