Managing and Breeding Adult Dragons and Wyverns

Once your dragon or wyvern reaches adulthood, its behavior changes significantly and requires careful management around your base.

Controlling Adult Behavior

• Sitting and Following: Tamed adults without a saddle will not follow you around. Because they automatically attack all nearby hostile mobs—including creepers and zombies—you should leash unsaddled adults or command them to sit so they do not wander off in combat. To make an adult sit, sneak and interact with it.
• Waking Up Sleeping Mounts: Adult dragons and wyverns love to sleep, and you cannot mount them while they are resting. To wake a sleeping mount, either put on or remove its saddle, or lure another mob close to it.
• Customization and Passengers: Tamed dragons can carry up to 2 players at once, and you can dye a tamed dragon's collar to customize its appearance.

Breeding Tamed Mounts

1. Bring two tamed adult dragons or wyverns together.

2. Feed both of them a Golden Apple to initiate breeding.

3. After breeding, they will lay an egg. Once this egg hatches, the newborn baby will be untamed and must be tamed with salmon.
