One of the most interesting activities in "Minecraft" is considered not so much the extraction of various resources (it is still pretty monotonous), but fights with various mobs. And perhaps the most formidable rival for any player will be the dragon.
What is a dragon in minecraft
This mob in the popular game is the largest, if you do not take into account individual mods, where other real giants can appear. Its appearance is quite frightening. This is a huge black and gray creature, whose purple hypnotizing eyes will follow the player (like the Eye of Sauron in the popular Tolkien trilogy) from the moment it enters through the portal into the fiefdom of the monster - the End (End).
The land where the dragon lives, the developers of Minecraft called the End (End) because, according to the original idea, at the moment when this mob was defeated, the end of the game should have come. However, then this idea was abandoned.
The dragon is perhaps the most formidable boss in Minecraft. On the difficulty of killing, he will give one hundred points ahead of the Nether Wither. It is not easy for a gamer to cope with it due to simply excellent health - a whole hundred hearts. In addition, he is able to quickly restore the forces expended in battle, by contact with special crystals located high on the pillars. Therefore, first the player must destroy these sources of dragon energy, and only then try to hit him.
In case of success in the battle with the dragon in place of the defeated monster, a portal to the ordinary world and an egg opens. It is better to take the latter with you, since this is the only way (apart from cheats and special commands) to get a new dragon in the gameplay, since everything in Minecraft is programmed so that this mob appears only once, and it does not respawn.
Mods and other ways to summon or create a real dragon
However, the aforementioned egg still will not allow you to call the Ender Dragon into any world, unless special plug-ins are installed. There are several of them, and the most popular of them are Mo 'Creatures, Animal Bikes and TooManyItems. With their help, you can create real dragons in the game - and even several, if the gamer has such a desire.
Perhaps the greatest opportunity for summoning such creatures into the game world is provided by the Dragon Mounts mod. By installing it in your Minecraft Forge, the player gets a chance to grow one of five types of fire-breathing creatures found there - depending on what kind of environment the dragon's egg will place in.
By the way, if you don't want to get to the End to get it and fight the dragon-boss there, you can do a little differently. By switching to creative mode, the player will be able to take eggs that have appeared there in his inventory, designed to summon various mobs (including a fire-breathing creature). After that, it remains only to switch the modes back.
To summon a fiery dragon, you need to place an egg in the hot sand of the desert or surround it with lava, water - in the appropriate element, ghostly - deep underground, ethereal - high above the clouds. Otherwise, an ordinary fire-breathing Ender creature will hatch. When it grows up, it will be possible to fly on it (of course, if you manage to tame it), even teach it some commands (for example, "Sit!"). The pet should be fed with rotten flesh and other meat products, but his favorite delicacy is golden apples.
The / spawnmob command, entered from the admin console, allows you to spawn any mobs. For example, if you write GiantZombie after a space from it, then a big zombie will appear, which many gamers dream of seeing.
However, if you don't want to mess around with mods, a few special commands will help. True, in some circumstances (for example, when playing on a server), the privilege of summoning the dragon in this way belongs only to those who are endowed with admin powers. It will be enough for them to enter EnderDragon into a special command line / spawnmob and specify the desired number of these mobs after a space. Another command often used in such cases is simply / dragon. True, it only works on some versions of Minecraft.
