The Ultimate Plan Official Topic
Sun, 03/29/2020 - 19:54 (edited)

This is the official topic for the Ultimate Plan mod! Here you can discuss, report bugs, post screenshots, write opinions and suggestions or anything related to the mod! Feel free to leave a comment! :D


OLD STUFF: PLEASE IGNORE THIS, IT IS OUTDATED

Some time ago, I said I was going to release two new mods - a huge sci-fi mod and a littler one named The Ultimate Plan.

The Ultimate Plan is a little mod that makes you able to tame baby Enderdragons. It is inspired on something that Mojang once mentioned, but later scrapped: they said they were going to have an "Ultimate Plan" for the End which involved Endermites. However, after many years, those little mobs are still useless.

This mod tries to give a use to both the Dragon Egg and Endermites.

 

I wanted to release the mod today, but it wasn't ready.

I wasn't able to make the Enderdragon properly rideable. I tried making it attack monsters but it felt too weak and it often flied away.

From a comment I posted on the "Hodge-Podge age etc..." topic:

Sad news: the Ultimate Plan isn't going to be released.

Everything was ready: the egg, the progression, the baby enderdragon model... There's just one issue: it is bugged.

I initially planned to make the baby dragon rideable; however, you can't control well flying mobs. So I tried making the dragon attack monsters; but it often randomly flies away and I can't make it follow you. This isn't a major issue if you keep the dragon guarding a house, but you can't travel with the dragon as you can do with wolves if it flies away... This makes hatching the dragon kinda useless.

I don't want to release bugged mods, they would be useless (the dragon isn't a secondary feature, it's the whole mod)

It's a shame because I added many features (fertilized endstone, special end crops, dragon egg hatching animation, a special way to get new eggs...) and planned many things (spears and bows that get stronger while riding a dragon, special food to heal dragons...)... :(

I copied and pasted it because I'm too lazy to sum it up XD

 

So, until flying mobs will be improved, the mod won't be released.

 

I created this page for any of you who want to download the mod anyway. Here is the link:

1.0.2 (now the Baby Enderdragon also attacks Illagers, Husks and Strays): https://www.mediafire.com/file/vvxcfbmshp1r4ll/The_Ultimate_Plan_1.0.2_%28early_alpha%29__for_Minecraft_1.12.2.jar/file

1.0.1 (fixed a bug with crops opacity): http://www.mediafire.com/file/jwqejo2amqbsvfd/The_Ultimate_Plan_1.0.1_%2528early_alpha%2529__for_Minecraft_1.12.2.jar/file
 

1.0: https://www.mediafire.com/file/b6v8m7ppu4lkju9/The_Ultimate_Plan_1.0_%28early_alpha%29__for_Minecraft_1.12.2.jar/file

Even if the mod is not officially released, you can't repost it or claim you made it. Feedback is welcome though.

 

When the mod will be fully released, this topic will be its normal discussion topic :)


Anyway, before downloading the mod, you'll need a guide! Here is it (images will soon be added):
 

To tame your own Baby Dragon, you'll have to defeat the normal Enderdragon first.

Then, you can craft some Fertilized Endstone by surrounding Endstone with Popped Chorus in a Crafting Table.

You can now plan some regular Seeds on Fertilized Endstone to get a new kind of plant.

ender crops

After they are fully grown (it takes a lot of time), the crops should look like this:

crops final

You can harvest them to get some Enderwheat (name to change). Then, you can use 9 Enderwheat to make an Enderwheat Block. Combine 3 of these and the Dragon Egg to make a Dragon Nest.

Now, place the Dragon Nest and wait. It should take a bit to hatch the egg, but you should notice it slowly changes texture. Before it hatches, you can destroy the Dragon Nest to get the both the Dragon Egg and the Enderwheat Blocks back in any moment.

dragon nest 2

When the egg hatches, a Baby Enderdragon will be born. As you already know, you can't ride it (yet). Right now, it does just attack vanilla Undeads, Arthropods (all of them but Endermites), Slimes, Magma Cubes, Illagers and Creepers.

babydragon

Now you might be asking what happens if the dragon dies. Would you have lost the egg and its dragon forever?

Not really.

Remember the Dragon Nest (I hope you didn't throw it in the lava)? After it hatched, only a few fragments are remaining from the original egg. However, you can make a new egg.

broken dragon nest

And that's where the Endermite comes in. If an Endermite collides with the egg, it will infect it and create a new Dragon Nest. You can wait to have another Baby Enderdragon, or you can break the nest to get the egg back!

 

If you found any bugs or have any ideas or opinions, comments are welcome! :D

Ok, it seems there must be a bug with MCreator that randomly sets the attack mob tasks to default (so to attack the only custom mob added by the mod, the baby enderdragon)...

Everything is fixed now! Now the baby enderdragon is a SUPER FAST MONSTER OF DEATH WHICH ELIMINATES ANYTHING BRAVE ENOUGH TO EXIST WITHIN ITS LINE OF SIGHT! Just like it was supposed to be! Mwuahahahah! >:D

the beast

It's still cute though...

(this means the mod will be officially released soon :D)

Thanks to the 2020.2 MCreator patch, now the Baby Enderdragon is a lot faster and can easily defeat almost each kind of mob!

This means... new Ultimate Plan update! :D

With this update, besides getting a lot faster, the baby dragon does now automatically attack these mobs (the ones that were added to the list after the update are underlined):

  • Zombies
  • Husks
  • Skeletons
  • Strays
  • Wither Skeletons
  • Vindicators
  • Evokers
  • Illusioners
  • Blazes
  • Spiders
  • Cave Spiders
  • Silverfish
  • Slimes
  • Magma Cubes

These are the mobs it attacks, but while playtesting (using a mod that lets you make 2 mobs fight) it actually managed to easily defeat both an Enderman and a Shulker... I was shocked XD

The 1.14/1.15 version of this mod will probably be very different... Rather than a defensive pet, the Baby Enderdragon will be a rideable mod and there will be new equipment specifically for dragon-riders (spears, bows, etc) :)

Wow, it is awesome! I totally didn't expect it XD

Unfortunately it doesn't let me see the whole video :( (I think it tells me to register but it's in Chinese so I don't know XD)

The Ultimate Plan update…
Sat, 07/25/2020 - 07:58

The Ultimate Plan update released! It doesn't make dragons tameable and rideable (the next update will), but it still ports the mod to 1.14.4!

From the changelog (yep it's very little):

1.1.2 - 07/24/2020

Updated the mod to 1.14.4

The Baby Enderdragon can now attack more mobs (Pillagers, Ravagers, Phantoms and Drowneds)

The Baby Enderdragon can now be petted (right-click it to get some heart particles!)

Changed some textures to better fit Jappa's style (well at least i tried)

After 2020.4 will be fully released, you will be able to tame and ride the dragon, call it from the distance using a special item, maybe heal/buff it using some kind of food/potion and maybe even get some special weapons that are stronger while riding the dragon! (and the baby dragon and dragon nest model might also be changed since they look ugly right now)

After all the mods get ported to 1.15.2 there will also be an addon adding more mobs to fight with the dragon (such as dragonrider zombies, flying creepers and more) that will only spawn after beating the Enderdragon!

 

Now it's time to update Pyromancy! :)
