[@JonnyPanic]

Love this. One note: the obsidian columns have indented corners. If you pillar up in the indented corners of a pillar with a cage, you'll come up under the corner of the cage... handy because this will stop scaffolds, so you can just stack scaffolds from the bottom until they stop... and then you can safely melee hit the crystal from under the corner of the cage, and you'll be protected from the explosion by the blocks in the way.

[@2mydismae]

I've been playing Minecraft probably since I was about 7 years old, so since around 2012. Today I beat the Ender Dragon for the first time ever in a singleplayer world. I do use keepInventory in my world, and I did die once during the fight by being tossed in the air when trying to hit the Ender Dragon with my sword, but this still felt like the greatest thing ever. I have beaten the Ender Dragon with friends before, and I'm surprised that it took me this long to actually attempt it on my own. I was so extremely lucky when I got my first ever elytra basically immediately after the fight too! 😂 Now it has Mending and Umbreaking III. This day was great. 🙂

[@rockyprince]

For me the hardest was actually trying to see … the end needs more contrast

[@Eyecraftmc]

For sure, the obsidian pillars, ender dragon and background sky look incredibly similar

[@CorneliusThroatworthy]

As someone with the world's dimmest monitor, I can definitely agree with that sentiment :'D I'd recommend turning on hitboxes so you can see the dragon & endermen, and also you can more easily tell if there are any crystals left on tall towers. I'd also suggest going into the folder mincraft is saved in, and then finding the options.txt file (it should be in the main minecraft folder) and opening it, changing gamma=1.0 to gamma=5.0 (the highest number you're allowed if you're speedrunning) or gamma= an even higher number (if you're not speedrunning, just wanting to see better in the end & in caves and whatnot hope this helps, if not you, then anyone else who is pained with a dim monitor, bad eyesight or just wants the end to be less hard to see :D

[@YounesLayachi]

@@CorneliusThroatworthy heads-up, the options.txt file modification will no longer allow out of bound values in 1.19 Totally agree however, if I can't see well I just won't play, so I do increase gamma too (and increasing brightness of the monitor hurts my eyes because the end floor is much brighter than the end sky, also the player inventory is too white)

[@CorneliusThroatworthy]

@@YounesLayachi aye, I've heard that from somewhere but I can't remember where - do you know which snapshot this change was introduced? and as for your own screen brightness woes I say unlucky :( do you use the vanilla tweaks dark UI resource pack/something similar?

Yeah they should make the sky a more purple color so you can see better

[@fangtooth-1125]

I recommend 2 water buckets, make an infinite water source, and place water anywhere you want so it’s harder to die from endermen and fall damage from dragon

[@icecreamjunkie6790]

I can't emphasize this enough: Potion of Slow Falling. The fight becomes a complete joke if you have these. Bring at least four and make sure you've upgraded the duration of each with redstone. You'll need phantom membranes to make them, which you can get by not sleeping for three nights, and then killing the phantoms that spawn. Now, whenever the dragon yeets you into the air or you fall off a tower, you won't take any fall damage. Super easy to do it that way.

Shooting the caged crystals is pretty easy from the holes under the corners of the cages, I find it easier to aim at those holes too, whereas I usually miss a few shots at the uncaged crystals (maybe because they sit on taller towers)

I started playing Minecraft 3 1/2 Weeks ago. I used your videos to set up farms and beat the dragon yesterday. Here’s how i did it. I stayed very close to the pillars with my nose buried agAinst the pillar. Taking strAtegic shots at the crystals around the corners or from the top of adjacent pillars. When all done, i sprinted to the dragon perch and dug down. I made a tunnel five blocks deep and 14 blocks long. From her head to toe area (she switches up). The tunnel is deep enough to Avoid the dragon breath ground penetration. I collected all of my breath while i was top side but i realized when i got down there i could have collected it down there. The dragon actually kills the ender men that gather there. ALSO with the tunnel two blocks tall, it becomes an enderman farm!!!! Lolol and if you die, your drops are in a tunnel so you can safely re-equip. Edit: i didn’t kill her with sword hits. I have infinity on my bow. And her flight pattern is easier to bow shot from the center. It’s harder to shoot her from outside her parabolic pattern. So i would pop up after she lifts off and pop her from my hole. I beat the game on hard mode btw with no cheats enabled. Last night i proceeded to set up a double cave spider farm in an abandoned mine. I went from level 4 to 49 in a little over 24 minutes. While i set up a zombie farm i got from Wattles to kill zombies while i stand in the spider spawner mutual activation block!!! Lolol

[@justiceperhay8328]

A cheap (maybe better?) alternative to scaffolding is ladders. If you spam ladders as you climb up the obsidian pillars it can actually be faster than using scaffolding. And the dragon can't collapse ladders like it can scaffolding.

Not bad. You can't get them back as readily as scaffolding but it's a decent strat

So the tricks with one cycling is 1. The dragon will always perch in your direction toward the fountain and u would want to one cycle horizontally, 2. Press f3 and explode the bed when the dragon is above the bed 3. If you’re having problems with hitting the dragons head it might b because you’re on the wrong side of the horizontal perch.( you want the dragon head to spin toward u and not away from u. Hope it helps along w the additional info provided by eyecraft:)

I beat the Ender Dragon for the first time yesterday, after enjoying this game off and on for almost 10 years, and this channel was indispensable in helping me get there. Just want to say THANK YOU for everything that you've put into your work. Every video gets right to the point, explains and demonstrates the game mechanics in a super clear and intuitive way, and provides some sound strategies that got me out of many pinches. And best of all, unlike so many other Minecraft channels, never once do I get berated with irrelevant tangents and an overblown "personality" aimed at driving a parasocial relationship. Just pure, unadulterated knowledge that's sole purpose is to help you get better at the game. Cheers!

[@shanereilly1480]

If you bring a few dogs and have them sit on the sidelines, you can run to them for protection if endermen attack you. They don't attack the dogs. If you don't mind playing in 3rd person, a jack-o'-lantern helmet keeps endermen from aggro-ing on you as well.

[@poughkeepsieblue]

Put infinity on your bow, and carry one arrow. Mending is wasted in bows, because Infinity is more reliable, and bows can be repaired with other bows on an anvil, which is extremely cheap. A fully enchanted infinity bow, can last an extremely long time using this method. Once it becomes too expensive to fix again, put it in an item frame, and retire it, cause by then, you and that bow will have made memories together.

[@Nova_Spectre]

who needs infinity when ya got a skeleton farm, and people still continue playing after beating the dragon, thus still needing the bow

@@Nova_Spectre you can buy 16 arrows for 1 emerald from fletcher, so you also dont need skely farm

The wild update should of included a dragon update, where you’re able to spawn a dragon from the egg but wherever you spawn it is the type of dragon you get, so overworld is one type, the nether is another and obviously the end is the end dragon. But also they should vary in appearance depending on what biome you spawned it in. All dragons in the over world should be friendly mobs you can basically use as sky horses, (could use the goat horn thing to call it to ur coordinates, use saddles etc) dragons spawned in the nether should be all hostile except 1 type which could be spawned in the green tree biome of the nether, maybe that one could breathe fire of have something special about it idk. But each one in the nether should drop a map and a head when its killed and that map could give you the coordinates to idk maybe a vein of 24 accident debris or something cool like that. Maybe each type of dragon could have its own special Elyra and each one has its own enchantment attached to it, and once u collect them all you can put them in an anvil and combined them into one god tier elytra … now that would of been a “wild” update

It should be pretty difficult to summon that dragon, im thinking youd have to get an enderman to pick up the egg, snd when he places it down, the dragon spawns. And it also has some lore material, you know endrmen being from the end as well as the dragon, and also they spawn in all dimensions.

When you go to the end for the first time, don't bring anything but an iron pick, and a full inventory of slabs and a chest Mine your way outward from the center of the main island, until you reach the void, then put down the chest, leave most of the slabs in it Place bottom slabs to bridge out from the main island You may get killed by the dragon a few times before your bridge is far enough out But if you keep returning and bridging out, it's easy and cheap to bridge out to the far end islands. You can also make a roof over the bridge to help protect you as well, if you choose. Now once you've done that, go home, get your gear, and run over your bridge to the outer end islands Congratulations you've just bypassed the end dragon, so you can go get some wings and loot, to help you fight the end dragon

There is a glitch with the dragon that happens if you shoot the dragon in the face with a power bow right before it perches, all damage done to the dragon while it is perching is increased significantly.

[@BlackMage969]

My favorite way to kill the ender dragon is with snowballs and beds, hit a couple crystals with snowballs while you wait and when the dragon perches you bombard it's head hitbox with bed explosions, if you fail to kill it just keep going for more end crystals and eventually it will die.

[@benrhodes9975]

You can actually kill the ender dragon without breaking all the crystals, but it is harder. I usually leave the crystal on the tallest tower, and I am able to defeat the dragon with no problem. Another strategy I use is rigging all the end crystal spots with dispensers before I respawn the ender dragon. You have to move the dispensers away or they will explode if they are too close to the end crystals. But toggle them when the crystals have spawned from a safe distance then defeat the dragon without worrying about the crystals.

In my opinion I don't recommend using cobblestone I recommend nether rack as its really easy to break meaning if you run out of blocks you can quickly get a few netherack blocks Also I recommend you bring enderpearls,golden apples and slow falling potions but also use a splash potion of healing II my reason why is if you drink a healing potion the dragon could kill or knock you into the void also when using a slow falling potions you should have a splash potion aswell so if you are falling next to a obsidian pillar you can splash the slow falling potion against the wall which could save you in time also remember when attacking the dragon you should jump to gain crit damage but it is still a risk Also if you are not very good at water clutching or you just want to be safe I recommend having a totem in your hotbar or off hand/ second hand if your are having the totem in your hot bar I advise you have it in kne of the easier button to press for example like 3 or 4 so it's easy to access Also if your going into the end portal before the fight throw a few blocks into the portal then go in this will speed up how fast you will take to get into the end this also works with the nether aswell because the block renders the end for you so you can get in the fight quicker For anybody reading this I wish you Goodluck on your ender dragon fight

[@Random_user_8472]

If you bring an inventory and ender chest full of solid blocks when you go to the end, and maybe a few bottles for the breath if necessary, you can make a path to the closest islands and find an elytra without beating the ender dragon. It may take a while and distance, maybe you have to go back home for a refill, but you will find an elytra! Bring a bow for the shulkers, they don't like bows. Also to have a high level feather falling on your boots helps a lot. If you're in a tower, use blocks to make a ceiling, so you can't elevate too high.

[@mikelee9886]

What about using some water buckets, making a bunch of big puddles, then using a Trident with Riptide III and a slow-falling potion to fly up, shoot out the end crystals, and then of course a crossbow with some rockets against the Enderdragon? Ok the crossbow might be a little much, it's aim is horrible with rockets, but flying around with a Riptide enchanted Trident, while using slow-falling is not only fun, it's the fastest way to move short of teleporting. Plus using water buckets to make puddles everywhere will have the extra benefit of keeping all of the enderman out of the way, and if you think the puddles make it slow to move around... use trident and just aim straight ahead, way faster than running. Also, from what I understand, the Enderdragon only destroys blocks not native to the end... so just use obsidian for everything. It's strong as hell and blast-proof anyway, so you could make a quick blocking set up and just place the bed right under where the dagon's head will be when he lands, and not worry about blowing yourself up.

[@thewr0ngchild]

I am about to do the boss fight first time in hardcore. Those bamboo scaffolds are one of the most useful blocks in the game. However I am also playing amplified world, so obtaining that much string is really hard. For me it involves a dangerous trip into the badlands and facing off with a million poison spiders and witches in the abandoned mineshafts lol. I do use potions, which in turn leaves me with just enough empty bottles to grab the dragon's breath. I sometimes don't go for elytra straight away, I go back through the portal after defeating the dragon, and usually bring stuff to mitigate the dangerous island portal spawn. Also you can use the XP drop from the dragon to get looting III on your sword so you can get more shulker shells. This is incredibly useful if like me, you're planning a shulker box storage system. You always want to carry at least one shulker box with you at all times once you've completed the dragon as well, I can't stress how much of a game changer these are.

[@thewr0ngchild]

It's easy. I tend to make a big thing about going to the end, specially this time, my first hardcore attempt. Actually I go overkill, you don't need to if you're just doing ordinary survival. All you really need in ordinary survival is an axe (best melee damage for single entity, e.g dragon), around three stacks of food, preferably beef and gold carrots/apples and a bow and around three stacks of arrows or infinity enchantment, you'll also want a sword just in case of the endermen, but a good friend of mine recommends using an axe because it does the highest damage to single mobs. If you're not playing hardcore, you can just set your spawn point in the dungeon before you go, and pop a chest down with some armour and a weapon just in case, this way even if you die, you can keep going back until the dragon is dead. For me, it's game over, so I hope I do ok this weekend lol.

I’ve been playing since 2013, and I’ve only beaten the game 6 times, and out of those six times only 2 times with achievements, the other times I used keep inventory, be and my got in a little two week addiction and now we are locked in

[@jayrahplayz7269]

Love your vids!

[@aaravp6586]

Not to be judgy but I did have a few suggestions: 1. Use a sword instead of an axe. It can have Sharpness V on it and reloads faster, doing more damage per second than an axe, which is useful because the perching time can be quite short 2. Idk why he did this, but pls dont stand right in front of its head. You're basically asking to die. Stand inside the portal behind it's head to be safe from dragon's breath, and when it knocks u into the air, use a water bucket or slow falling potion

Big thanks to you I have a survival world almost 100 days and isn't gving up yet.

[@infernodragon2542]

Tip - go fishing a lot or trade villagers for Feather Falling IV. It will save your life most likely

[@makkajoxori]

Helped me to slay the dragon for the first time!

Finally THE video I’ve been waiting on

[@rikkistarrett307]

After casually playing Minecraft on and off for years, I decided to do it properly - after a few months I'm finally tooled up with full Netherite gear, and just about to do this Dragon at long last. Needed this video, as I'm actually really nervous about dying and losing all that very hard earned stuff lol. Wish me luck O_O

[@rikkistarrett307]

UPDATE - I did it, and it was bloody stressful. Endermen killed me once, then the dragon was on the tiniest bit of health but I could not get the critical hit for ages. Finally took her down with an accurate arrow. First time ever.

@@rikkistarrett307 congrats dude

[@herkload]

Congrats bud

[@Oxygxngaming]

I’m ready I think! I have a lot of good enchants on all my diamond stuff and the best enchants for my bow and I have a lot of ender pearls

[@ThatQuiteGuy_]

You explained speedrunning in a nutshell and I love it thnx even though I play bedrock!! Love ur work

[@lyamchassie2849]

Bring an extra bucket of water!!! In the middle of the fight I somehow started beef with an enderman. In an effort to squash the beef I placed my bucket of water down, but simultaneously the dragon attacked me and suddenly my water was gone. I was left alone and confused, with an empty bucket. I still had to scaffold up to the 2nd caged end crystal. It was pretty sketchy, but eventually I got the job done. Bring an extra water bucket or two, incase this happens to you. (This was on Bedrock - Hard mode)

[@AlexDevonB]

I have been looking for a channel like this forever, you definitely earned my sub!

[@NL-fy6to]

Even though I beat the ender dragon multiple times now I am getting close to fighting it in my hardcore world so Im trying to refresh my knowledge for it in every way possible lmao

[@enbcjdiajnajakaisjajnzbhajaol]

You can also go to the corner of the caged pillars and shoot the end crystals and sometimes instead of placing water you can build a 2 block tall roof so endermen cannot attack you.

[@LowIQAnimations]

A tip is to use an infinity bow instead of a lot of arrows because it will help if yu don't want to keep getting arrows

[@DiveEntertainment47]

I have never beaten the Ender Dragon in legit one survival run. I came very close in 2013, but when I died at the edge and lost all my items I never played again for the near future time. I played again in 2020, was in the End, but when I saw the Ender Dragon occasionally chilling in the middle, making it absolutely prone to attacks, I stopped the fight, because THIS was WAY TOO EASY. I dont want the Ender Dragon that shoots some crystal balls at you, chilld in the middle waiting for you to attack, and continues flying after being defeated, with some stupid explosion effects and just disintegrates on the spot. I want the ender dragon that literally JUMPSCARES you when you dont expect it, continues to just fly without stopping and then epically ascends to the heaven while disintegrating when you beat it, making it absolutely satisfying to see. Also, he needs more Crystal Towers, more health, has to fly faster, needs a Super Saiyan Like Mode when he is aomost beaten and it wouldnt be bad if the endermen where hostile towards you. This is what I call a END BOSS FIGHT. But until then, No freaking way.

[@Justin-n8z]

I have played for 6 years and I’m finally ready to fight the dragon for the first time.

[@r3crypt]

Straight to the point. Great guide!
