Appearence

Stage 1,2,3,and 4 Jungle Dragons look like the Ender Dragon but dark green.Like fire dragons,ice dragons and lightning dragons,Stage 5 Jungle Dragons are quadrupedal reptiles with massive wings, long tails, spike-laden backs, and massive jaws.However,Their spikes are shorter than that of other dragons.They also have backward-curving teeth.

Spawning

Jungle Dragons spawn in jungles.Younger dragons are found on small roosts on the surface (Stages 1-3), whereas older ones (Stage 4 and rarely Stage 5) lurk in caverns beneath the ground.

Drops

Loot from a jungle dragon generally depends on the stage of a dragon. All dragons drop either Dragon Scales, a Dragon Heart, and Dragon Flesh or, with a glass bottle, Dragon Blood. A Dragon Skull and Dragon Bones are always dropped. The most important loot a dragon corpse can produce are Dragon Eggs, which can only drop from a female Stage 4-5 dragon. Stage 5 female dragons may occasionally drop 2-3 Dragon Eggs.

Instead of evaporating like normal Minecraft mobs, a dragon will fall to the ground as a corpse when it dies. To loot the dragon corpse, right-click on it repeatedly with an empty hand: items will drop off of it until it turns into a skeleton and, finally, disappears altogether. To obtain dragon blood, right-click the corpse with an empty bottle. Obtaining dragon blood will prevent you from obtaining scales, flesh, or a heart. Make sure to click in the dragon's hitbox; this is usually located near the middle of the dragon's body. Newly-hatched dragons evaporate upon death, falling as a skeleton after day 5 and only falling as a corpse after day 10.

Fully grown dragons drop about 46 bones, and either 12 vials of blood or 58 scales.

Behavior

Jungle dragons are hostile and will attack every mob that comes nearby,inculding players. When they spawn naturally, they are usually very hungry, and will search for farm animals to eat; they are capable of spotting prey from 64 blocks away.Jungle dragons are immune to direct gorgon attacks,hydra arrows,the poison effect,and attacks from hydras.dragons using poison attacks will melt all all blocks in the area (turning them into Melted Blocks). Wild dragons can be seen frequenting small roosts adorned with large piles of emeralds and many chests; they will guard the teasure and sleep there during the night, but can be woken up if a player breaks a Emerald pile or opens a nearby chest, or if a mob enters. Dragons will rarely eat meat items that are dropped on the floor.

Abilities

Like other dragons,jungle dragons can fly very quickly, making melee combat extremely difficult when fighting them.However,hitting a jungle dragon's throat with a sword or axe will do 9x more damage to the dragon.This makes melee combat kinda effective.As well as this, they have the ability to poison players with their toxic breath, killing them in mere seconds. Along with this, they are unfazed by unavoidable obstacles, and will simply break through them in order to get to their target. Dragons have nine natural attacks, which include the following:

• Roar: Upon spotting the player, the dragon emits a loud, piercing roar. Stage 4+ dragons can inflict Weakness for 14 seconds with their roars; this effect can be nullified by wearing earplugs.
• Super Roar: Rarely upon spotting the player, the dragon rears on its hind legs, spreads its wings, and emits an even louder and more powerful roar. Stage 4+ dragons can inflict Weakness II for 14 seconds with their roars; this effect can be nullified by wearing earplugs.
• Bite: If on the ground, the dragon simply bites its target,inflicting the poison effect.
  • Grab-and-Shake: If on the ground, the dragon seizes its target with its jaws before shaking them to death.
  • Tail Whip: If on the ground, the dragon swings its tail sideways in order to smack a target, dealing knockback.
  • Wing Beat: If on the ground, the dragon rears up and violently flaps its wings, creating a powerful gust of wind that knocks back its target.

• Poison Breath: The dragon breathes a branching stream of poison at its target, melting blocks in the area. If in the air, it flies overhead of its target while performing this attack,this will inflict the poison effect.
• Toxic Bomb: The dragon spews a large Toxic bomb that explodes on impact, leaving a melted crater and a poisonous cloud and inflicts the Fatal Poison Effect(Bedrock only),If in the air, it flies overhead of its target while performing this attack.
• Aerial Tackle: If in the air, the dragon will swoop on its target with outstretched talons before smacking them down.

Combat

Please note:wild jungle dragons will attack fire dragons,ice dragons and lightning dragons.

It is recommend to bring a enchanted Flamed Dragon Bone Sword,as fire does 5x damage to jungle dragons,either enchanted Tide Guardian Armor or enchanted Dragon Scale Armor,a bow with Power IV and Flame(jungle dragons will become immune to arrows when they lose half their health),and many milk buckets because of the poison.

A good strategy is to hit the jungle dragon's throat with a Flamed dragon Bone Sword mutiple times,then hide behind a Dragon Bone block and spam arrows at the dragon.Dodge the dragon's poison breath and Toxic Bomb while sniping arrows.Repeat until the dragon loses half it's health,then spam click it with a Flamed Dragon Bone Sword and if nessasary,use TNT to deal massive damage.When the dragon dies,loot it's corspe.

Hatching

See also: Dragon Egg

A wild jungle dragon cannot be tamed, and a tamed dragon can only be achieved through hatching an egg. Jungle Dragon eggs must be placed in a lingering poison effect to start the hatching process. Once the egg starts moving, it will take a few minutes to hatch.

It is noted that the poison effect must continue until the egg hatches.

Breeding

Two jungle dragons can be bred if they are opposing genders and stage four or higher, by crafting and utilizing Jungle Lily Mixture, They are bred in the same manner as other vanilla animals. Upon breeding, female dragons will create a nest and lay their eggs in there. Give the mixture to the male, then the female.

Usage

Equipment

A dragon's inventory can be accessed via interacting with them while sneaking. It has 5 slots; the first 4 slots are each for a different part of Dragon Armor, while the last slot is for a banner.

Tamed Behavior

Baby dragons are very small creatures no longer than a single block. It takes 25 days for a dragon to progress from a stage, and 125 for them to reach maximum size.

Their growth rate can be improved by feeding them Dragon Meal. Each feeding will grow them by 1 day.

If a dragon is Stage 1, it can be clicked on with an empty hand in order to put the baby on the owner's shoulders. To get a baby dragon off one's shoulders, press X (default key). A player can have a maximum of three dragons on their shoulder at a time. At Stage 2, the dragon can no longer be picked up. Dragons Stage 3 and up can be mounted by interacting with them with an empty hand. Like with any rideable mob, WASD controls are used. Spacebar makes the dragon rise if it is in the air; if held for over a second while it is on the ground, it makes the dragon start flying. X lowers the dragon, and Shift is used to dismount. R (default key) makes it breath poison, and G (default key) makes it use a strike attack, attacking the mob the player is currently looking at.

A Dragon Command Staff can be used to order the dragon to either stay, wander, or escort their owner from above. Dragon Horns can be used to summon and desummon the dragon via an item. A Dragon Bone Flute can be used to call a flying dragon down to the ground. A Dragon Summoning Crystal can bind the dragon to itself, so that the owner can teleport the dragon should it wander off into the distance.

Sneaking while interacting with a dragon with a stick or a Dragon Command Staff will set a home position where it is currently at, and it will not go far away from that position. The home position can be removed by sneaking while using the Dragon Command Staff again.

Dragons Stage 2 and up will breath poison at an active Jungle Dragonforge if near one, powering the multi-block structure and allowing it to turn iron ingots into Jungle Dragonsteel Ingots.

A tamed jungle dragon also will try to attack tamed fire dragons or ice dragons of other players, but not of their owner
