How to Hatch, Tame, and Raise Baby Dragons and Wyverns

Wild adult dragons and wyverns cannot be tamed directly. To get a loyal companion, you must hatch one from an egg and tame the newborn.

Hatching the Egg

1. Place the dragon or wyvern egg on its respective hatching block. Eggs will not hatch on standard surfaces.

2. Wyvern eggs take 1 Minecraft day to hatch, while Dragon eggs require 2 Minecraft days.

Taming and Managing Babies

Once the egg hatches, the baby is initially untamed.

• Feed the freshly hatched baby salmon to tame it.
• Babies grow into adults naturally as Minecraft time passes, or you can feed them additional salmon to speed up their growth.
• Tamed babies will climb onto your shoulder. To make a baby get off your shoulder, either hold a salmon in your hand or sneak and jump at the same time.
• Keep baby dragons and wyverns on a leash or make them sit when near your farm, as they will actively hunt and eat chickens. They also spend most of their time sleeping.
