How do you get to the ender dragon?įirst off, here are the different behaviors the ender dragon will exhibit: But of course, preparing to fight the ender dragon means nothing if you can't find them. When you're considering what to bring when fighting the ender dragon, imagine your Minecraft character at their strongest possible self. I also recommend enchanting your boots with Feather Falling, as it's very likely you'll be knocked down from one of the obsidian pillars that surround the ender dragon's lair. Protection enchantments on all of your armor, as well as damage increasing enchantments like Sharpness for your sword and Power for your Bow, are all great things to have. The reasons for a lot of this will become more evident in the future, but there's one more thing that's basically a necessity before fighting the ender dragon: enchantments. Mining a ton of end stone right after you arrive in the End and before you engage with the ender dragon is likely the best choice, since it resists the ender dragon's destructive power at least in part. Potions with status effects like poison and damage won't help you here, but potions that give you perks like regenerative health and stronger attacks are perfect for taking on the ender dragon. Incredibly useful, and replaces food in a pinch. Crafted by covering a normal apple with gold ingots, golden apples give you regenerative health as well as a decent buffer of damage resistance to absorb a few incoming blows. You'll need a fast pickaxe to navigate around the battlefield and destroy something very precious to the ender dragon. Enchanting your bow with Infinite would be best, if possible, so only one arrow would be needed. A ranged weapon is paramount to taking down the ender dragon, as it spends much of its time flying around.

A diamond sword is preferred, but a trident will do the trick as well. You'll need a melee weapon that deals large amounts of damage. The ender dragon is capable of dealing out insane amounts of damage, and you might find yourself falling long distances to an unforgiving ground.
