It offers server-admins the possibility to add a new outstanding way of travel to their servers.

More videos on DragonTravel (including tutorials)

Features:

Allows admins to set destinations for the dragons.
Allows players with the specific permission to summon and mount a dragon and...
...fly flights which consists out of waypoints(as many as you like)
...fly to destinations which have been set by an admin before.
...fly to coordinates chosen via command.
...fly to players choosen via command(different permission-nodes for other types of travel).
...fly to your faction's home-position (Factions required)
...fly to your town's spawn (Towny required)
...fly to a home-position which has been set by this player earlier.
Allows admins to set stations and limit the mounting of dragons to these locations (or a specified radius around it).
Possibility to require a special item for players to use the plugin (e.g. a dragon-egg)
Making signs which automatically mount a player and bring them to the written destination on the sign.
Permissions-Support
Support of all Economy-Plugins supported by Vault (Vault is required for that)!
Admins can set different prices for all ways of travel!
Admins can choose in the config whether dragons of this plugin should destroy blocks or if any dragons should break blocks when touching.
All messages are fully customizable! Default messages.yml is English, but we provide German and French language files as well.

Due to the fact that things can change rapidly in this project, I stopped maintaining instructions on the plugin and other information like a list of commands/permissions in the forums, on this page etc. and decided to create a central location where you can always find all information up-to-date: The DragonTravel-Wiki.

Please use this wiki and report all mistakes you find in there and avoid posting questions on topics like commands/permissions/sign-creation etc., which are answered in the wiki, in the comments.

Contribute on GitHub

The questions and requests posted in the comments are repeating and there are some questions we answer at least once per week, so we decided to write down some of those Frequently Asked Questions.
Please read the questions below and see if you can find your question there, this really saves us time we can then spend on the development of DragonTravel.

Is it possible to change the speed the dragon's wings are flapping?
Is it possible to remove the dragon's health-bar?
Is it possible to control the dragon manually?
Is it possible to move the rider closer to the dragon to avoid him flying above it?
DragonTravel does not start, what can be the problem?

You can find the answers to those questions in the FAQ!

Please read the paragraph above before posting any questions!

Thanks for the reply Phiwa. No rush, with all the things going on lately I'm sure that's the last of your worries.

Just a short feedback. Due to a lack of time, I wasn't able to work on the matter for more then an hour yet and haven't come to a solution. -.-
I haven't forgotten about you, I'll work on it as soon as possible.

Have a look at the server map. http://144.76.219.110:8178/

The compass markers are locations of the world portals. They're also the station names too. I was stood on the planet tatooine and watched them fly off in the direction of endor. They must have been halfway along the flight at least before it started to hang. It's a space world, might it have been related to no floor? Sometimes teleporting gives me problems in space because of no floor. All the stations are on solid ground though. Or at least on a mini planet.

Didn't find the cause yet, seems like there is an infinite loop, butI don't know how I managed to "implement" an error like this within the few lines I added in the last update.
They both took off and moved like the were really travelling?
I got no idea on that case yet, but I'm on it. Any additional information are highly appreciated. :)

Any thoughts on the hanging? Was fine for a few days then I've had one this morning. last line in the console again was /dt travel endor Flight destination seems to be irrelevant. The flight began ok as well because I watched two of them take off together. Overall impression is that when they started the flights ram usage increased exponentially until we all got 'Timed out' and the server hangs indefinitely.

Edit: There's a possibility one of the riders client crashed whilst on the flight.

@Mcporter

The players need the normal "dt.travel.*" permission which allows them to travel to any station. If you want to limit their travels to signs, you need to set the config option "OnlySigns" to 'true'. :)

@mmuziek

I know what you mean, but it would be a bunch of work to compile every bugfix for the last four versions, so we decided to limit it to the latest supported version some time ago and stayed with that. I mean, most fixes aren't that big and sooner or later you'll have to update your server, so I try to prepare a mostly bug free version for the time the dev build of Craftbukkit becomes a beta or recommended build.
Often bugs fixed in new versions were just caused by me updating DragonTravel for the new Craftbukkit dev build, so it wouldn't make sense to release the fix for older versions.
The last two versions fixed/added quite a lot of things, so if you message me tomorrow when I'm back from my holidays and hopefully got some minutes during my break at work, I might be able to compile a version for 1.7.9 and send it to you. :)
I don't like to work on the train, it's not that comfortable, otherwise I'd do it now. ;)

I created a ticket (#210) for it and will see what I can do, but by now I got no idea. You could help me with this problem, but let's discuss that in the ticket's comments. :)

Uff, I have no idea. Hate those problems, without a stacktrace it is hard to find a point to start analyzing the problem. -.-
The problem started when you installed the latest version of DragonTravel?
I only changed a few lines to fix the old problem and I guess that's where the problem got in, so I could take a look at it.

What is the setting "allow-flight" in your server.properties set to? :)

@shadvalentine

I'll take a look at it.

Hello Phiwa. Got another issue. Three times now in the last two weeks my server's console has crashed. Well, not crashed, no reports made and nothing out of the ordinary in the log. It just hangs. Every time the last few lines in the console are dragon travel commands. This time two misspelled stations and the last line was '/dt travel dagobah'. Checked the flight after rebooting the server and the Dagobah station works fine. The inter world flights work perfectly too now as well, thanks :)

There was only a handful of people on so it wasn't a ram or network issue. Might be purely coincidence about the dt commands but I'm lost with it. Any ideas?
