Table of Contents

DragonTravel gives players the opportunity to ride dragons in Minecraft.
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!

I had this plugin workin, and all my players loved it.

Now all of a sudden when we use any command to dragon travel, we get a message that tells us we succesfully mounted, and are traveling there... however nothing ever happens.

update further troubleshooting found this only effects my residences. If i am outside of a residence i am free to use dragons.

Would it help if I increased the view distance or maybe there is a plugin that loads chunks faster?

Would it be possible to make it that people can teleport to other worlds on dragons?

Your server can't handle the chunk sending, therefore the dragon wait until chunks are loaded, you can set the speed of the dragon lower to fix this.

Whenever I fly somewhere, it stops at random times then continues. Is this something with my server or something with the plugin?

Would it be physically possible to add a config option to use mobs other than EnderDragons for transportation? I was looking for a plugin that could do something very similar to this, but with flying pigs.

Having some problems figuring out how to setup flights.

I just want stations and nothin more to control the flights, but how do I set up waypoints between stations?

2 Feature Requests

First:

I would like to be able to have unmanned flights execute on a timer. This way I can have dragons appearing to do random flyovers of towns, or castles.

So my thought would be /dt TFlight (NameOfFlight) (NumofTicks)
Like /dt TFlight FlyOverSpawn 72000 - To have the flight named "Fly Over Spawn" execute every hour.

Seems like it would be fairly trivial to use the Bukkit event Scheduler to achieve this effect.

Second:

Is there a way to prevent certain users or groups from using certain travel destinations?
So if I have a destination on an island somewhere I can prevent some players from using that particular destination? Perhaps password protected?

Thoughts?

Thanks for this plugin by the way, users on my server love it.

Well cant you add these commands: /dt up <feet> /dt down <feet> /dt right <feet> /dt left <feet> and just things like that!!! That would be epic!

I asume you didnt make it steerable because thats not possible right? Atleast allow people to use commands like /dt up <feet> or /dt down <feet> and /dt left <feet>

PLEASE TAKE MY IDEA

For some reason, some flights don't make it to the destination. The dragon drops people off 30 blocks or so short of where I set the destination. The setup has a station and destination set in the same place on each end with a sign to the opposite destination. One way makes it, the other doesn't. Tried remaking them, still had the problem.

@Beatkidz Might add that in the next update, don'T know when it will come.

@spy85 It is not possible to do this with DragonTravel, try the plugin RideThaDragon by V10lator for that.

This appears if I am using Digilock. Digilock is a protection system with a spout overview. When I click L and look on a chest the Spout Overview appear as it should But if I press then the Button "save" from Digilock I get this error here. I asked the creator of digilock and he meant this comes from DragonTravel. Is there a way to fix this?
