Addon: Grow Your Own Drake

How To Grow Your Own End Drake (aka Nonalis)

Step 1: Visit extreme hills, venture underground, find yourself a Rock Monster.

Step 2: Defeat this stony beast, hopefully it drops a Nonalis spawn egg.

Step 3: Put that egg down in extreme hills, not underground (you have to be able to see the sky when you look up), at or below level 3. Have fun with that!

Step 4: Wait for it to hatch (it will start to wobble when it's almost ready).

Step 5: Tame with Golden Carrots. Speed up the growth with Tropical Fish.

This dragon has no wings! But s/he can really jump and glide. Fastest ascending dragon so far. To make them jump higher, look higher when you jump. Heal with tropical fish, cod, salmon, carrots, golden carrots, beef, chicken.

 If you want a "display" egg. You need to progress to Step 3 and interact with the egg whilst holding a feather. It will never hatch and you can chop it up and place it wherever you like. One for the collectors!

How To Grow Your Own End Dragon (aka Tenebris)

Step 1: Visit extreme hills, venture underground, find yourself a Rock Monster.

Step 2: Defeat this stony beast, hopefully it drops a Tenebris spawn egg.

Step 3: Put that egg down in The End (of course) and make sure it's underground!

Step 4: Wait for it to hatch (it will start to wobble when it's almost ready).

 Step 5: Tame with golden apples. Wait for it to grow up! Or, speed up its growth with Eyes Of Ender (for the impatient).

This dragon is a medium-speed flyer, but can only fly in The End (unless you do some trickery with teleportation!). They can be healed with Eyes of Ender, golden apples, end rods, ender pearls, beetroot and beetroot seeds. One very cool feature is, as they are about to descend into the Void, they will fly straight up! Thereby guaranteeing they will never fall into the Void. And neither will you! (If you're riding one at the time!!)

If you want a "display" egg. You need to progress to Step 3 and interact with the egg whilst holding a dirt or grass block. It will never hatch and you can chop it up and place it wherever you like. One for the collectors!

Step 5: Tame with fire charges. Wait for it to grow up!

This dragon is a medium-speed flyer, but can't ascend as quickly as other dragons. They can be healed with fire charges, honeycomb, redstone and cod. Their particularly special feature is they can attack with lightning strikes, but only at night time.

If you want a "display" egg. You need to progress to Step 3 and interact with the egg whilst holding a snow block. It will never hatch and you can chop it up and place it wherever you like. One for the collectors!

Step 4: Wait for it to hatch (it will start to wobble when it's almost ready).

Step 5: Tame with netherwart. Wait for it to grow up!

This dragon is a bit of a night owl. It doesn't like daylight and won't fly in the day. It likes to sleep during the day, but only if underground. On the positive side this dragon is very fast at night.

Heal with coal, coal blocks, charcoal, flint and netherwart.

If you want a "display" egg. You need to progress to Step 3 and interact with the egg whilst holding a sea lantern or a glowstone block. It will never hatch and you can chop it up and place it wherever you like. One for the collectors!

How To Grow Your Own Forest Dragon (aka Nemus Draco)

Step 1 (same for most dragons): Visit a swamp, at night, find yourself a troll. Like this one:

Step 2: Defeat said troll, hopefully it drops a Nemus Draco spawn egg.

Step 3: Find a forest, place the egg down above level 100.

Step 4: Wait for it to hatch (it starts to wobble).

Step 5: When it hatches, tame your baby dragon with a Dark Oak Sapling.

If you want a "display" egg. You need to progress to Step 3 and interact with the egg whilst holding a dead bush. It will never hatch and you can chop it up and place it wherever you like. One for the collectors!

This dragon is not much of a flyer. In fact, the smallest one you can't even saddle (you can still armor it, sooooo cute). When flying the bigger ones you might find getting them in the air a bit of a challenge. They'll eventually plummet to the earth anyway, or if you get too high, same thing.

Heal them with saplings, leaves, potatos, carrots, tall grass, beetroot seeds, beetroot, bread, poisonous potatos (they love 'em!), wheat seeds, wheat. Strict vegetarians!

How To Grow Your Own Sand Dragon (aka Sabulo)

Step 1 (same for all dragons): Visit a swamp, at night, find yourself a troll.

Step 2: Defeat the troll, hopefully it drops a Sabulo egg.

Step 3: Go to the desert and place down your egg below level 50.

Step 4: Wait for it to hatch (it starts to wobble).

Step 5: When it hatches, tame your baby dragon with cooked cactus (green dye).

If you want a "display" egg. You need to progress to Step 3 and interact with the egg whilst holding cooked cactus (green dye). It will never hatch and you can chop it up and place it wherever you like. Another one for the collectors!

The Sabulo is generally a slower dragon, however in Savanna and especially Desert biomes it will be quite speedy!

How To Grow Your Own Lava Dragon

WARNING: This is not easy. I'm going to regret this, I know it. But at the end you'll have one of these:

Step 1: Visit a swamp, at night, find yourself a troll, same as for the Sabulo.

Step 2: Defeat said troll, hopefully they drop a lava wyvern spawn egg (or a glacio egg), like this one:

If not, back to Step 1 for you.

Step 3: Buckle up, here's where it gets hard. Get to level 10 or below, if you attempt to place the egg above level 10 it will instantly dissolve into lava. Wait until midnight, if you attempt to place the egg when it's not (around) midnight, guess what? It will instantly dissolve into lava. Once it's midnight (use those generally-useless Minecraft clocks), and you're below y level 10, place it down:

Note the clock position - that's midnight

Step 4: Set fire to the block it's resting on and immediately put the fire out or your egg will burn up. It doesn't need much flame to wake it up.

Step 5: Wait.

Step 6: Wait more, maybe until morning, maybe until the next night. Patience is the key here.

Step 7: It will hatch! And you'll have one of these:

Your heart will surely melt

Step 8: Tame it, tame it, tame it! With cod. 

Step 9: Wait for it to grow up. It will take a long time, but you will see it getting bigger over time. And it will look super cute following you everywhere. It will grow to one of three sizes, the biggest size taking the longest.

Step 10: Saddle it, armor it (you need netherite dragon armor, make it with a 2x2 netherite ingot recipe). Fly it around! You should be proud of yourself.

If you want a "display" egg. You need to progress to Step 3 and bucket it with water. It will never hatch and you can chop it up and place it wherever you like. One for the collectors!

How To Grow Your Own Ice Dragon

NO WARNING: This is much easier than the Lava Dragon.

Repeat step 1 above (defeat a troll in a swamp, get a spawn egg).

Then, go to a cold or frozen biome, ascend to 90 blocks or higher, and place that egg down. Easy! When it starts to wobble it will hatch shortly. Note extreme hills are not a cold or frozen biome. I know right, there's snow! Seems cold to me too. Frozen ocean or ice plains are probably the easiest to find.

Tame that baby dragon with tropical fish! You have to wait for the dragon to be fully grown before you can saddle or armor them. Hold a saddle or armor and right-click the dragon (or long-press if you're on mobile) to saddle or armor them.

Don't tell me you don't want one...

If you want a "display" egg. You need to put down a spawn egg as above ('y' > 90) and bucket it with lava. It will never hatch and you can chop it up and place it wherever you like. One for the collectors!
