How to Defeat the Ender Dragon

When fighting the Ender Dragon, it’s best to go in prepared. Because fighting a boss mob does take a lot of preparation. Listed below are all the recommended items needed for fighting the Ender Dragon.

Full set of Diamond or Netherite Armor with the Protection
Enchantment, Feather Falling
Diamond or Netherte Sword with Sharpness Enchantment
Diamond or Netherte Pickaxe
Iron Shovel
Shield
Bow with Power Enchantment and Arrows
Golden Apple
Potion of Healing
Dirt
Potion Of Strength
Potion Of Slow Falling
Carved Pumpkin
Totem Of Undying

Having your armor and weapons enchanted isn’t required for the fight, but it’ll make it a lot easier for you. It’s important to have a few Golden Apples saved up for this fight because eating them gives you an additional two hearts and temporarily regenerates your health. If you have anything less than Diamond gear when going into this fight you’re going to have a difficult time. Although it’s going to be a little hard to see, wearing the Carved Pumpkin will save you from getting attacked by the Enderman.

It’s important to have the Potion Of Slow Falling because you’re going to need it in the fight. When you enter The End, you’ll notice a couple of obsidian with End Crystals on top of them. You’ll need to destroy those crystals to defeat the dragon. Because if you don’t, the Ender Dragon will fly near them and you’ll see a white ore healing the dragon.

You’ll want to shoot the crystals that don’t have any Iron Bars protecting them with an arrow. Although you can build your way up to them and destroy them by hitting them, that’s not recommended. Because they’re known to explode and kill players.

As for the End Crystals that are protected by Iron Bars, you’re going to need to build up to them. Use the dirt and quickly build-up to the edge until your head is hitting it as soon as in the picture below.

Once you’ve done that, use your Pickaxe to break the bars and the End Crystals. Don’t worry you’ll take some damage and fall off but as long as you have the Potion Of Slow Falling active you won’t die.

Now that you’ve destroyed all the End Crystals, just keep hitting the Ender Dragon with your Sword or Arrows until she dies. You’ll know you’ve successfully killed the Ender Dragon when her health bar is depleted and she’ll go to the center and explode. But don’t worry the explosion won’t hurt you.

You’ll be able to leave The End safely by jumping into the portal in the center and you’ll be greeted with text.

All Ender Dragon Loot

When the Ender Dragon is killed, it’ll drop a total of 12,000 XP orbs. It’s enough to raise a player’s level from 0 to 68. If you bring back the Ender Dragon and kill her again, she’ll only drop 500 XP orbs. Killing the Ender Dragon will also open a portal that’ll lead you to The End City, if you follow it all the way. The only way to enter the portal is by throwing an Ender Pearl in the center.

Listed below are all the items the Ender Dragon is known to drop upon death.

Dragon Egg

You’ll notice that the dragon egg will spawn on the top center of the portal. To safely get the egg. you’ll need to hit it once so it falls off. After you’ve hit it, make sure it lands on some Ender Stone and if it doesn’t, keep hitting it till it does. Now that it’s on the stone what you’ll need to do is mine underneath the egg and place a Touch underneath it. Break the block that the egg is sitting on and it’ll fall on the touch and you’ll be able to grab the egg and store it in your inventory.

Dragon Fireball

Dragon fireballs are special fireballs that the Ender dragon fires while strafing. They cannot be deflected unlike ghast fireballs, and they do no impact damage. Instead, they deposit purple clouds across the ground that damages players the same way a lingering Potion of Harming does. This means that the ender dragon’s fireballs deal magic damage, which ignores any damage reduction that comes from the player’s armor. However its damage does get reduced by armor enchanted with the Protection enchantment.

As with her close-ranged breath attack, the purple fog can be bottled to obtain the dragon’s breath.
