Ever wanted a lizard in minecraft? Well you can now with the new Bearded Dragons Mod! Minecraft lacks some arthropods and is devoid of lizards. This mod fixes that by adding 5 new arthropods and a new tamable lizard into minecraft. This mod also adds 4 new crops, with 3 that can be found generating naturally. Each description of the Blocks and Entities can be found below!

 

Entities

Bearded Dragons

 

Bearded Dragons are a Passive Mob that can be found in Deserts, Savannas, Badlands, and Dark Oak Forests. They have a total of 10 HP (5 Hearts), and can be tamed using Darkling Beetles, Five Spotted Hawk Moths, Mealworms, Hornworms, and Dubia Roaches. They'll eat just about any bug smaller than a bee they come across.

Bearded dragons can be bred using Mustard Greens, Acorn Squash, Collard Greens, or Turnips. When breeding, instead of spawning a baby version of themselves like most entities, they'll instead lay eggs. These eggs take 24000 to 48000 ticks to start hatching. 

NOTE: The baby bearded dragons will not keep the tamed their parents have. This is due to how it was impossible for me to implement a method that automatically tames the baby bearded dragons, and makes their owner the owner of the bearded dragon who layed the eggs.

Bearded dragons can also be used to stun the warden if you accidentally spawned it. They'll start following the warden, and stun them for 20 seconds, with also posioning them for 10 seconds. This is due to reptile saliva being toxic to sculk, which is why wardens are stunned and posioned. However, bearded dragons can only stun a warden every 2 minutes. (or 2400 ticks)

Darkling Beetles (Mealworms)

Darkling beetles are a type of passive arthropod that can be found in most biomes at night. They have a total of 3 HP (1.5 Hearts) and can be bred using any type of leaves. When killed, they drop a single Darkling Beetle Item, which can be used to tame Bearded Dragons.

Like Bearded Dragons and Frogs, they instead lay eggs after breeding instead of giving birth live. The eggs will take 2400 - 4800 ticks in order to hatch, and when they do, spawn their larvae variant known as Mealworms.

Larvae

Mealworms are the larvae version of Darkling Beetles. They take around 24000 ticks in order to grow up into an adult. They can be fed Leaves in order to grow up into an adult faster. They have 2 HP (1 Heart), and like the adult, will drop themselves as an item when killed.

Five Spotted Hawk Moths (Hornworms)

Five Spotted Hawk Moths are a passive flying arthropod which can be found in most biomes at night. They have 3 HP (1.5 Hearts) and can be bred using any type of leaves. When killed, they drop a single Five Spotted Hawk Moth Item, which can be used to tame bearded dragons.

Like Bearded Dragons Frogs, and Darkling Beetles, they instead lay eggs after breeding instead of giving birth live. The eggs will take 2400 - 4800 ticks in order to hatch, and when they do, spawn their larvae variant known as Hornworms.

Larvae

Hornworms are the larvae version of Five Spotted Hawk Moths. They take around 24000 ticks in order to grow up into an adult. They can be fed Leaves in order to grow up into an adult faster. They have 2 HP (1 Heart), and like the adult, will drop themselves as an item when killed.

Dubia Roach

Dubia roaches are passive arthropods that can be found in Jungles at night. They have 3 HP (1.5 Hearts) and can be bred using Apples (Regular, Golden, and Enchanted), Carrots, Potatoes, Beetroot, Sweet Berries, and Glow Berries. When killed, they drop a single Dubia Roach item, which again, can be used to tame bearded dragons.

Unlike the other arthropods on this list, Dubia Roaches will give birth live like how chickens and bees in minecraft do. Babies won't drop items on death, unlike the adults.

Egg Blocks

Bearded Dragon Eggs

Bearded Dragon Eggs are blocks which can be found generating naturally in deserts. They take 24000 - 48000 ticks to hatch, and when they do, spawn baby bearded dragons. Unless if placed by a player, or layed by a bearded dragon, Bearded Dragon Eggs will NOT hatch by themselves.

Be careful though! If players or any non bearded dragon entities were to step or fall on the eggs, they'd break instantly. So please make sure when you're near some, you're crouching so you don't accidentally break them.

Mealworm Eggs

Mealworm eggs are blocks which can be found naturally generating in most biomes. They take 2400 - 4800 ticks to hatch, and when they do, spawn mealworms. Like bearded dragon eggs, they're NOT gonna hatch unless if placed by a player, or layed by a Darkling Beetle. Unlike bearded dragon eggs, you cannot break them by stepping on them. So fall on them all you want!

Hornworm Eggs

Hornworm eggs are blocks which can be found naturally generating in most biomes. They take 2400 - 4800 ticks to hatch, and when they do, spawn hornworms. Like bearded dragon and mealworm eggs, they're NOT gonna hatch unless if placed by a player, or layed by a Five Spotted Hawk Moth. Also like mealworm eggs, you cannot break them by stepping on them.

Crop Blocks

Mustard

Mustard is a type of crop that has a wild variant that's naturally generating in most biomes. They generate in medium sized groups in the minecraft world. Mustard Greens can be used for both breeding Bearded Dragons, and also as a food source. They restore 3 nutrients in the hunger bar, but don't restore a lot of saturation.

Acorn Squash

Acorn Squash is a type of crop that has a wild variant that's naturally generating in most biomes. They generate in medium sized groups in the minecraft world. Acorn Squash can be used for both breeding Bearded Dragons, and also as a food source. They restore 4 nutrients in the hunger bar when eaten raw, but don't restore a lot of saturation. Acorn Squash can be cooked in a Furnace or Smoker, and when cooked, restore 6 nutrients and restore some saturation.

Collard

Collard is a type of crop that has a wild variant that's naturally generating in most biomes. They generate in medium sized groups in the minecraft world. Collard Greens can be used for both breeding Bearded Dragons, and also as a food source. They restore 3 nutrients in the hunger bar, but don't restore a lot of saturation.

Turnip

Turnips are a of crop that unlike Mustard Greens, Acorn Squash, and Collard, will not generate naturally and can only be found in the chests of villages. Like Potatoes and Carrots, Turnips don't have seeds and are instead planted by the crop they produce. Turnips can be used for either breeding Bearded Dragons or Pigs, and also as a food source. They restore 3 nutrients in the hunger bar, but don't restore a lot of saturation.
