Description
Useless Reptile is a Fabric mod that aimed to bring some dragons into your world that you can tame (or kill).
Warning: mod is Work-in-Progress and a lot of stuff may change in the future updates.
Dependencies
Geckolib, YetAnotherConfigLib and Fabric API are required
For mod versions below 0.3.0 Cloth Config API is required instead of YetAnotherConfigLib
Features
- Swamp Wyvern: can be found on swamps and tamed with 1-2 stacks of raw chicken. You can ride tamed Swamp Wyverns with use of a saddle. You can also get acid from it by right-clicking with empty bottle and use the acid later as any other potion
- Moleclaw: can be found in caves and tamed with 0.5-1 stacks of beetroot. Needs saddle to be ridden, useful for digging. Afraid of light, but can ignore it if Moleclaw Helmet is equipped
- River Pikehorn: can be found near non-frozen rivers and on beaches. You can tame it with bucket of tropical fish and use flute for extra level of control over your Pikehorns. Oh, and also you can put one on your head
- Custom Named Texture support: you can give your dragon a custom texture name of which would correspond to dragon name. All you need is a nametag and bit of resource pack magic. Currently supports only Russian and English names
- Dragon customization: customize dragons via data and resource packs (click spoiler below for full list)
- Adding new variants: you can add new dragon variants that can naturally spawn via editing files in "dragon_variants" folder. Supports biome specification via id and tags and support of defining rarity.
- Special texture for named dragon: mod will automatically attempt to use texture that corresponds to dragon's name if it's presented in game. You can add your own texture for your dragon via resource pack. Currently supports fully only Russian (and maybe Bulgarian, but I didn't test it) and English names
- Adding glowing to the dragon: you can make your dragon glow by adding a glow mask as texture via resource pack. Glow mask texture must be in the same folder as main texture file and have the same name as main texture file with addition of "_glowmask" in the end of the name (i.e. if you wanna add glow mask for brown variant of the Swamp Wyvern you'll need to name the mask as "brown_glowmask.png")
- Complete remake of the model and animations: thanks to Geckolib, you can customize not only textures, but also models and animations via resource packs. But be careful with this since those visual changes will affect all dragons with the same model
