We're not sure at the moment. Developer Azza005 will continue working on that plugin after he finishes some of his other Java projects. To ride a dragon, you'll need to have a saddle in your hand. As there's no (serverside) way to render the saddle, you'll have to do this every time you want to ride your dragon, so you'll get the saddle back when you dismount. Also, due to lag and similar issues, dragons will have to be removed when you log out. When you log back in, your dragon will be respawned beside you. Even this might cause some issues, so another solution is if you don't ride your dragon for a few minutes, it will be turned into an egg and placed in your inventory until you want to fly again. Nothing is set and we welcome input, especially from a developer's perspective. Overall, it's a huge plugin involving a lot of work and is still in the planning stages. As such, it might not be implemented until the public beta. As for your second question, of course it will! There will always be small (or major!) performance improvements bug fixes made to all plugins for the life of the MCAlagaesia Network. can we please not have our dragons turned back into eggs? although it may be better for lag i think that the dragons should be with you (most) of the time. Dragons are the laggiest mob in the game. Their model is so huge and clumsy, that there may be no other option. If you can think of something, we're open to suggestions!

If you attached different effects to Dragons, say resistance, does it create a separate entity that is different regular dragons? If it does then you could texture them differently and create different "types" of dragons. And I like the idea of them turning back into an eldunari type thing when your not flying.

Nope, there's still only one basic dragon entity, just with different effects applied. Even if this worked, there's still only room for one dragon texture in a resource pack. You can have randomised textures, but Minecraft has no control over which texture is used, so your dragon could be gold before you log out and green when you log back in.

So you can still get energy from your dragon while it's in the Eldunari form, and perhaps even communicate with it through DragonBot, a MCAlagaesia ChatBot that simulates the intelligence of Dragons!

Alright, it was worth a shot though But I like the idea of the Eldunari Storage

Just sayin. *cough* *cough* developers *cough* I had to just edit this post because I realized autocorrect doesn't recognize eldunari as a word. Darn autocorrect.

When you say "*cough* *cough* developers *cough*", are you talking to us or Mojang? There's nothing we can do, serverside, about their dragon issues.

Anyone who can fix dragon lag. xD If that be the case, I'll just have to contact mojang. That would be an interesting conversation...

Yes can you please fix the Dragon lag issue? Why not? Well why isn't it a priority!? You cant be serious! NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THIS! I DONT CARE FIX IT NOW!!"

They add all these cool new blocks but don't fix major issues with entities

CleverBot? Oh, no... We'll have to create our own. Can you imagine what CleverBot would say? ############################################# User: Love you, Dragon! Cleverbot: Everthing and anything. User: We need to go to Vroengard. Cleverbot: About what? User: To find Eldunari. Cleverbot: What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? User: Don't you know? You eat them all the time! Cleverbot: I don't eat human. User: I know, that's good. Cleverbot: What do you like? User: Why are you always changing the subject? Cleverbot: What do you mean? User: I mean you always skew from the linear progression of sane conversation. Cleverbot: I am a human being. You are the robot. Oops.... You're meant to be a dragon!
User: Wait, I thought you were a dragon. Cleverbot: Stops Responding for ~3 minutesCleverbot: Um, no I'm a human User: I don't think you're thinking straight. You should get to sleep. Cleverbot: How do you think? User: With a brain...

Can you imagine what CleverBot would say? LOL! but i think that there is a customisable version, or engine for cleverbot that anyone can use. i dont know much about it except that you program its name, responses and such. But if that doesn't work, how COULD we make our own dragon AI?
