6 years ago I like the sound of it all, except the breeding. In mythology Lungs are considered gods or something, and I personally don't think they should be breedable or tameable, more like befriendable for a certain amount of time, then they go home, but on despawn, if the player treated them good, they should give the player an item to help them summon it again in the future.

6 years ago It's true that the home of the Chinese dragon is in heaven, but they not always potrayed as a powerful god, some dragons are more powerful than others, for this mod sake, i decided to make them not an OP mob, Thats why i choose to have the dragon be summoned by building the resembling structure, instead of the infamous Koi transformation. Maybe sometimes when sitting they can fly up to the clouds to absorb the energy then dive down again.
Chinese dragons aka "Lung" or "Long" https://i.imgur.com/qSPukGQ.jpg Serpentine, wingless creatures with 4 legs. Can float without wings, with normal walking speed, however, while near cloud zone, y=127(not sure if clouds always generate at y=127), the dragons flying speed increase drastically. Eyes glows in the dark like normal dragons, No size variant, as big as stage 4 dragons with longer body. Take normal damages. Wild Longs are neutral to both players and other mobs, including i/f dragons. Majestic looking Will seek deep enough body(about 7x7x7) of water and rest there, gain regen and positive buffs while resting. Have the roar of the lion combine with the sound of thunder. Will create thunderstorm occasionally.
Tamable.
Taming: Doesn't spawn in the wild, to encounter one, you first must summon it by building a 1 wide structure resembling the dragon using rare materials, and add a special block, the dragon "eye" as the finishing touch(myth reference: https://www.theepochtimes.com/good-stories-from-china-painting-the-dragons-eyes_1730555.html), similar to how golems are build by placing the pumpkin last. Scale color variant: Scarlet, Jade, Azure, Gold, White and Black. Color. To determine what color you want, simply "paint" the dragons scales with that respective color while building. The "scale blocks" are concrete powder with respective colors, Red, Green, Cyan, Yellow, White, Black. Three mode: Sitting, Following, and Guarding. The mob will register a home location then fly around it, killing any hostile mobs in sight. To tame the dragon, feed it a special plant: dragon fruit. The player can equip the dragon with a special saddle, then mount it
Combat: Melee damage: Clawing and Biting. Ranged attack: Blow out a strong wind gust from its mouth, knocking and swing the target into the air, make them receive fall damage, similar to hurricane's wind. Special attack: For a short period of time, the dragons body begin to glow, it then proceed to chase after you with high speed, if you touch anywhere in its body during this attack, you will take damage, you also can't damage the dragons body during this, you have to hit the head to deal damage. When killed, drops its horns, this is the secret to Longs levitating ability. The horns then can be crafted into a special helmet, which players can use to fly but slowly, similar to the Long, speed is increase drastically while around y=127
Non-mandatory(i won't get upset if you ignore suggestions below): Nest building to make the dragon priority go into a specific water pool. Decorative items to put on the dragon with give it additional models, these items main purpose is to glorify the dragon. Longs armor, made from iron, gold and diamond. Long also roar like normal dragons, and have the same weakness/strength effect on mobs. Breedable Longs. Second mob to go along with the Longs: Koi, spawn rarely in river, and be caught and will turn into a Long when specific conditions are met.
