HyDragon

1.0.0 - Unreleased

Added

• Added a complete dragon content roster: Hydras, including the Toxic Hydra variant; Nordic Drakes; three Rock Drake tiers; and Miniwyverns.
• Added dragon world spawns and encounters, including volcanic-cave Rock Drakes, forest Nordic Drakes, volcanic Dark Green Moss Toxic Hydras, and lunar Hydra spawns.
• Added the Draconic Stone capture loop for eligible full dragons, with capture effects, energy tethers, homing motes, and Dragon Horn roster integration.
• Added the Dragon Horn as the shared companion interface for summoning, dismissing, commanding, and reviving captured dragons and Soul Bond Miniwyverns.
• Added an Aggressive Dragon Horn command for full dragons and Miniwyverns, including autonomous ground and aerial engagement of nearby hostile mobs.
• Added a confirmation warning before the Dragon Horn dismisses an active dragon.
• Added the once-per-player Wyvern Egg Soul Bond: it creates a persistent Miniwyvern companion that can be summoned and managed through the Dragon Horn.
• Added a six-form Miniwyvern attunement system: Fire, Ice, Lightning, Nature, Toxic, and Void. Each form has its own appearance, combat identity, talent tree, and Essence Bond effects.
• Added Miniwyvern talent progression, elemental projectile and swoop combat routes, owner auras, wards, debuffs, impact effects, and combat audio.
• Added dragon progression content, including Nordic Drake flight talents, Rock Drake progression, dragon stat growth, and summon-duration talents.
• Added tameable dragon mounts, Dragon Horn flight-mode controls, Nordic Drake Avatar Flight, Winged Toxic Hydra Avatar Flight, and mounted combat abilities.
• Added distinct combat kits for the dragon roster: Hydra ice and rain attacks, Toxic Hydra poison clouds and aerial attacks, Nordic Drake fireball and flame-breath attacks, and Rock Drake boulder attacks.
• Added the draconic crafting economy: Draconic Stones by tier, Draconic Essences, Revitalizing Essence, Draconic Altar recipes, Dragon Horn crafting, and Dragon-related drops.
• Added localized player-facing text for English, German, Spanish, French, and Brazilian Portuguese.

Changed

• Finalized dragon companion lifecycle behavior around durable bonded rosters. Captured dragons and Soul Bond Miniwyverns retain their identity through storage, summoning, logout, transfer, and revival.
• Finalized full-dragon capture as a tranquilizer-only process and kept Miniwyverns exclusive to the Soul Bond system.
• Finalized Miniwyvern combat and progression around the current elemental forms; removed superseded attunement, controller-item, and backpack designs from the shipped feature set.
• Refined dragon spawning, follow behavior, cooldowns, active limits, session durations, health growth, drops, recipes, and companion balance for the final release.
• Moved Rock Drakes into volcanic caves, reduced wild Hydra and Nordic Drake damage, reduced Toxic Hydra poison stacking, and expanded each Hydra form with a themed talent tree.
• Polished mount anchors, rider placement, flight animations, attack timing, hitboxes, sounds, visual effects, and Dragon Stone presentation across the dragon roster.
• Migrated dragon and Miniwyvern following, flying Hold, airborne transitions, and favorite-item pursuit to the shared Tamework 3.0 companion components while preserving species-specific tuning.
• Autonomous flying dragons now steer around nearby obstacles and return toward their owner or combat target when they wander beyond their configured range.
• Updated HyDragon to the Gradle workspace build and required Alec's Tamework >=3.0.0 <4.0.0 for its bonded-companion and Patchwork integrations.

Fixed

• Fixed flying dragon and Miniwyvern roles failing Hytale validation after the shared Tamework aerial-component migration.
• Fixed Nordic Drake grounded and aerial combat recovery, mounted flight transitions, landing behavior, Avatar Flight visuals, and attack feedback.
• Fixed Toxic Hydra and Hydra attack origins, mounted combat, animations, follow behavior, and ranged-combat presentation.
• Fixed oversized Toxic Hydra flight effects and rebalanced full-dragon revival costs across the progression tiers.
• Fixed Rock Drake tier assets, cave spawns, mount anchors, projectile presentation, drops, and targeting behavior.
• Fixed Miniwyvern summoning, flight-mode transitions, projectile aiming and impacts, swoop recovery, elemental aura cleanup, and localized combat guidance.
• Fixed Miniwyvern Aggressive mode failing to enter or remain in aerial combat, restored its intended follow speed and Essence Bond buffs, and preserved Defend or Aggressive after hard-leash recovery returns it to its owner.
• Fixed hostile mobs overlooking tamed dragons and broadened Aggressive-mode targeting to use the intended hostile creature groups.
• Fixed invalid animation and asset wiring that could cause visual, movement, or validation failures.
• Fixed the Toxic Hydra using the standard Hydra drop table; it now rewards Toxic Draconic Essence instead of Ice Draconic Essence.
