PetDragon (Lite) [Ridable Enderdragons! 1.14 - 26.2 SUPPORT]

+ SQL based PetDragon registry
The biggest criticism of the original plugin was that the maximum amount of dragons per player could easily be bypassed, since only PetDragons in loaded chunks were tracked. This premium version features an SQL database registry which always tracks PetDragons, with your choice of either SQLite or MySQL. Players can therefore no longer bypass the maxima you set, and the locate command will always be accurate. As an additional bonus, it is possible to share dragon data across Bungeecord servers by using MySQL storage! (all world names need to be different)

+ Cosmetic passenger position
Don't like the fact that players seem to be multiple blocks above their dragons, as per vanilla's passenger location? Now you can change that so players are seated right on the body of their dragon! This feature is experimental and requires ProtocolLib to function. While it is heavily optimized it takes slightly more computing power, which is why it is disabled by default. Note: Due to a recent update in the Vanilla passenger position, this feature is redundant for Minecraft 1.19.4 or above.

+ Seamless migration
This premium plugin is able to automatically detect the configuration of the free version and copy over its settings, see "Getting started" below. Should you require assistance, I will happily help you transfer to this improved product.

+ Improved support - private support
As this is a premium product, I will try to provide even more support than I normally do. Unlike the free version where I from now on offer only public support, for the premium plugin I also offer private support if necessary.

+ Faster updates - play on new Minecraft versions sooner!
Due to the nature of this plugin (see below), I have to update it for almost every new Minecraft version that is released. When I do so, the premium plugin will be updated first. I will then wait a couple of days before releasing an update to the free version. This means that when a new Minecraft version is released, you get to use PetDragon on it sooner.

+ More features
New features I create will always be added to the premium product first and usually exclusively! Here are some new features which have already been added on top of the SQL dragon registry:

• Multiple abilities! Instead of just shooting fireballs, dragons now also have other abilities! You cycle abilities by pressing 'F' and trigger them using spacebar. Abilities are highly configurable and have optional cooldowns. All current abilities include:
  • Fireball (default)
  • Knockback: knocks back all entities near the dragon when used
  • Ender army: Spawn a configurable number of endermen that attack any foe!
• Give a custom entity name to PetDragons! This will even work for already spawned dragons
• Control the number of dragons a player can spawn using player specific permissions!
• Dragons properly ignore the thorns enchantment and armour will not lose durability incorrectly
• Compatibility with plugins that block entity spawning
• Execute commands when a player mounts or dismounts their PetDragon
• Locate dragons spawned by other players
• Have players automatically mount their PetDragon when they spawn it
• Clear all your/someone else's PetDragons using a single command
• A hatch delay setting to control how long a PetDragon spawn egg takes to hatch
• Change the plugin's name as prefixed in chat messages
• Give PetDragon spawn eggs to other players, for example from console.
• A command to despawn PetDragons, which gives you back their egg. You can configure this to happen automatically when a player dismounts a PetDragon.
• A command to automatically ride your nearest PetDragon in the current world.
