Minecraft's vanilla version only has one dragon mob called the Ender Dragon. It is the game's final boss mob, which players can defeat after going into the End realm. After defeating it, survivors are rewarded with a dragon egg as a trophy. However, there is no way to hatch the egg and continue the beast's lineage.

For this reason, many people in the modding community started making mods to hatch Ender Dragon eggs and summon a baby dragon. Dragon Mounts: Legacy is one of the best of these mods.

In simple terms, Dragon Mounts: Legacy allows Minecraft players to hatch Ender Dragon eggs and ride the newly hatched beasts after taming them.

However, this mod not only introduces the ability to hatch the Ender Dragon's egg and ride its successor, but it also adds various kinds of dragons to the title. Though these creatures are simple retextures of the Ender Dragon, they look quite unique in their own habitat. Some can swim, while others dwell in the Nether and are immune to fire. All of them can be tamed and ridden using saddles.

The Dragon Mounts: Legacy mod is equipped with powerful mechanics for customizing dragon breeds, in terms of traits, attributes, behaviors, eggs, and textures. This way, players can breed various dragons and create unique variants.
