Taming an Overworld Drake in the Wyrmroost mod for Minecraft is a unique process that requires persistence and a bit of patience. Unlike some other dragons, it doesn’t involve feeding or careful leading. Instead, you’ll be taking a wild ride – literally! Here’s the step-by-step guide:
- Acquire a Saddle: The first and essential step is to obtain a saddle. Without it, you cannot begin the taming process. You can typically find saddles through exploration, trading, or crafting, depending on your mod configuration.
- Locate an Overworld Drake: Find an Overworld Drake in its natural habitat within your Minecraft world. These drakes are generally found in overworld biomes and are fairly common.
- Right-Click with the Saddle: Once you have located a Drake and are holding the saddle, right-click the Overworld Drake with the saddle. This will immediately equip the saddle on the drake, preparing it for mounting.
- Mount the Drake: With the saddle now in place, right-click the Drake again to mount it. This is where the fun (and frustration) begins.
- Bucking Broncho: The Drake will not appreciate being ridden and will immediately try to buck you off. This bucking process is how the taming happens, each attempt will slowly bring it closer to being your friend.
- The Cool Down: After being thrown off, there will be a short 5-second cool down period. You cannot immediately mount the drake again.
- Repeat the Process: You must repeatedly mount the Drake and allow it to throw you off. Each bucking attempt brings you closer to taming it. There is no fixed number of times this must be done.
- Tamed!: Eventually, after enough rides and ejections, the Overworld Drake will be tamed. Once tamed, it will be loyal to you and allow you to ride it without resistance.
It is important to note that taming an Overworld Drake relies on a certain amount of perseverance. Don’t be discouraged by being thrown off many times; the more attempts, the closer you are to success!

Overworld Drakes do have varying sizes based on where they are raised, however, they do not grow wings. They generally remain smaller than true dragons.
8. Are Overworld Drakes hostile?
No, Overworld Drakes are not inherently hostile. They won’t attack you unless provoked. Their bucking behavior during taming is not considered hostile, but is instead a required part of the taming process.
9. Is the saddle required for taming?
Yes, a saddle is absolutely essential for initiating the taming of an Overworld Drake. Without it, you cannot begin the process.
10. How long does it take to tame an Overworld Drake?
The time it takes to tame an Overworld Drake varies. It depends on the number of times you need to be bucked off before the Drake accepts you. There is not an exact number, so be persistent in mounting and letting it buck you off until the drake is tamed.
Taming and Behavior Questions
11. What happens if I am thrown off the Overworld Drake too many times?
There is no negative consequence for being thrown off the drake many times. You just need to continue mounting it until the taming process is complete. Being thrown off is actually a crucial part of the taming process.
12. Can other players mount a tamed Overworld Drake?
No, a tamed Overworld Drake will only allow its owner to mount it. This keeps them unique and prevents other players from riding a dragon that is not theirs.
13. Is there a way to speed up the taming process for an Overworld Drake?
Unfortunately, there is no way to speed up the taming process. Mounting and allowing the drake to buck you off is the only method to tame it.
14. How do I find an Overworld Drake?
Overworld Drakes can be found in many of the standard overworld biomes within Minecraft. Exploration is usually the best way to find them. The mod does not usually have an exact biome, therefore explore any natural biome to find a drake.
15. What are the uses of an Overworld Drake after taming?
Once tamed, Overworld Drakes can be ridden and used as a fast method of ground transportation. They can also be equipped with armor for added protection. While they cannot fly, they make for a useful and loyal mount.
