Who is the ender dragon? How to Summon an Ender Dragon

(Also Ender Dragon) is a special boss mob that exists in. This is the only boss in the game so far, and it is also an important scenario part of Minecraft. You can only find him in the world of Edge, and he spawns only once, because The Dragon there are valuable games.

In addition to the boss, a large number of spawns will spawn on the island location, which will interfere with you throughout the battle. Externally The Dragon of enormous size, it is covered with black skin-scales, which allows it to blend a little with its environment (against the background of a dark purple sky, the Dragon will be barely noticeable from afar).

Behavior

The boss behaves aggressively towards the player. Without noticing the player, he passively patrols over the island, not touching the Enders located there, however, he becomes aggressive as soon as he notices you. Approaching a certain distance to the Dragon, the player will see the boss’s health bar on the screen, and the Dragon itself, seeing the player, will try to attack him (it attacks, quickly swooping down on the player, which causes damage to him and pushes him away very hard, which can also be dangerous - The dragon can easily throw the player off the island).

Other important behavior details:

• The End Dragon, flying at the player or passively flying over the island, destroys any blocks that the player has built;
• it does not destroy blocks that were automatically generated in the Land;
• The dragon easily passes through any blocks that it does not destroy;
• the player can interrupt an aggressive attack by attacking the Dragon - if you shoot at it while it is attacking the player, the Dragon will change its flight path;
• flying near the obsidian pillars, he is cured of Edge Crystals, — to kill the boss, you will need to destroy these crystals;
• The dragon also takes damage from crystal explosions if it is close to them when they explode - this can be used for faster and easier kills;
• after death, the Dragon loses great amount experience (20,000, which is enough for 105 levels from zero), as well as in the ordinary world and a special item - .

Battle tactics

Killing the End Dragon is the only way to leave the End dimension, since a portal in the opposite direction falls out of it, and after death, he loses a huge amount of experience (enough to get level 105 from scratch) and a special item that cannot be obtained in any other way, except just loot from the Dragon - Dragon egg.

Since the boss flies, it will be impossible to kill him with a sword: when he collides with a player, he hits him hard and throws him away, so the option of close combat is excluded. However, the Endermen inhabiting the Land will greatly hinder you during the battle, so you may also need a sword. The bow is a great combat option. With a bow, you can both attack the Dragon and defend yourself when it flies at you (since the boss changes its flight path when receiving damage, you can interrupt the raid by attacking it). The Ender Dragon also takes damage from snowballs, but you will need a large number of them, so before going on a raid you should build an effective one to prepare.

From the armor you need to take something that is not the most valuable, but effective - iron armor This will come in handy, since there is an option for death in the dimension, in which you will lose all your items if you fall into the void under the island, which means you need to stock up on several sets of armor (it would be a pity to waste diamond armor, and you won’t be able to find it in such quantity). Instead of a helmet, you can put a pumpkin on your head - this way the Endermen will not attack you (however, in a pumpkin the ability to survey the territory is greatly lost, so decide for yourself what is more important - if you take a helmet, do not look at the Enders, but if you take a pumpkin, - don’t let the Dragon out of your sight). You can also take a couple of buckets of water - since the Enders are afraid of water and take damage from it, you can use a special tactic: put a block on which you stand, pour water around it so that the Enders cannot approach you, and watch that so that the Dragon does not fly up to you. The Enders will not cause any difficulties, but the Dragon may well push you off the block and destroy the block along with the water, flying nearby.

Before attacking the Dragon itself, it is worth destroying Edge Crystals, which will heal him when he receives damage. When destroyed, the crystal explodes, causing damage to the player if he is nearby. Also, the boss will receive damage if he flies near the crystal during its explosion, so you can use this too. If you clear the obsidian pillars of crystals, you can climb up there yourself and attack the Dragon from there - it will be easier to observe him from above, but there is an option that the Endermen will teleport behind you and throw you off the pillar.

This interesting battle system was not invented by Marcus Percus himself, but is present in many other games, but in Minecraft such a battle with a dragon is very pleasing, because you just need to click on other mobs.

The battle itself will take quite a long time; it’s worth stocking up on enough arrows and/or snowballs for that. When the Dragon has a small amount of health left, you need to attack it only when it flies over the island: the portal will fall out of it in any case, but you can easily lose experience if the boss is defeated over the void.

The dragon is defeated and loses experience

There is a way to "win" Minecraft game, to do this you need to destroy the Ender dragon, or as it is often called, the Ender dragon. This is the most difficult task from those available in the game.

To do this, you will have to go to the Island of the End, located in a desert dimension, and kill the dragon living there. If you can kill the dragon, you will get a unique opportunity to explore the rest of his island, after which you can return back to your world.

Below is a step-by-step guide on how to get to this island and defeat the dragon: first we have to find the Fortress, then activate the portal and go through it to complete the task.

Find a portal in the Fortress

Have you found the fortress yet? If so, then the start was successful. In it you need to find a room that looks like this:

The End Gate in the Fortress. Not active yet.

If you haven't found the Fortress yet, then craft several items called the Eye of Ender. You will need about 15–20 pieces. Put them in your inventory and get ready for a long journey.

It’s worth noting right away that Edge and Ender are synonyms. But it’s more correct to say Ender, since the developers use this term in the game.

You can craft the Eye from Ender pearls and fire powder.

Ender Pearls periodically fall out of the Ender when he dies (from version 1.9 the Eye immediately falls out of him). It is not difficult to find them at any time of the day; at night they often come to settlements.

The mob usually walks back and forth aimlessly, often picking up blocks and placing them elsewhere.

Fire powder is obtained by crafting a fire rod, which drops from Ifrit.

Ifrit spawners are located in Nether fortresses.

So, you have defeated everyone and received enough Oko. Now go out into the open and throw it up. You need to select the Eye in the quick access panel and throw it into the air, keeping an eye on it: it will fall to the ground in the direction of the nearest Fortress.

Usually the Eye can be picked up and thrown again, but sometimes it breaks.

The toss controls vary depending on the version of Minecraft:

• On PC/Mac, click right click mouse on the block you want to throw the Eye on;
• On PS3 and PS4, press L2 on the joystick;
• On Xbox 360 and Xbox One press LT on the joystick;

Walk in the indicated direction for a while, then throw the Eye again. Leave a trail of torches or other objects behind you so as not to get lost, as the path may not be close.

Keep throwing the Eye of the End and follow it until it constantly hovers over one point. This is where the Fortress is located. Having started excavation work and reached the Fortress, you need to travel through its gloomy corridors in search of a portal.

During your search, you will find treasure chests, skeletons, zombies and other hostile mobs that will try to kill you.

The portal must be activated through Ender's eyes.

Clue: if the Fortress is located far from your home, you can build railway to reduce travel time.

End Portal Activation

After examining the Fortress and finding it, place one Eye in the empty blocks, this will activate the portal.

The number of empty blocks that need to be filled with the Eye is randomly generated.

Now you can safely enter the portal and fight the Ender Dragon.

How to make a portal to the End in creative mode

Required components:

1. white wool - 20;
2. red wool - 8;
3. black wool - 7;
4. Edge portal frame blocks - 12;
5. Eye of the End - 12;
6. blocks of wooden steps - 3;
7. sword or bow for killing chickens.

Step 1

Make a platform 5 by 5 blocks. You can use wool for it. Without the platform, the portal will not work!

Step 2

Note that the green End Portal frame blocks, like the example step blocks, can be placed in multiple directions. Understanding this step is important to complete the project and launch the portal.

Please note that here the blocks and steps are installed at an angle of 90 degrees to each other!

Step 3

Now you can understand how to position the first of the four sides. This is clearly visible in the picture below:

Place them three in a row. The steps are used to clearly show the direction of rotation of the green blocks; they are not needed to build the portal.

Step 4

Rotate the blocks 90 degrees and repeat the process to create the next side of the portal.

Step 5

Create a third side of the portal.

Step 6

Create the fourth side of the portal.

The portal frame is ready.

Step 7

The Eye of Ender can now be placed into portal frame blocks.

Take the Eye in your hand and right-click on the block you want to place it on.

Step 8

Place 12 eyes of Ender in the blocks and the portal will work.

If the portal does not open, it means you have mixed up the direction of installing the green blocks somewhere. Check their locations.

Jump into the portal and enjoy a new dimension.

End portal properties

Unlike the portal in lower world, the End portal is one-way. Once entered, the player will not be able to return and will end up on a 5 x 5 obsidian platform, which can be in the air or underground.

Breaking the frame block of an active portal does not deactivate it. This is only possible with the use of mods, since the portal frame is rock solid. There is no way to deactivate the portal without.

The active part of the portal emits level 15 light, although there is no benefit from it without mods.

An active End portal can be obtained using mods; it instantly teleports the player who touches it. On multiplayer servers this is used as a trap, although most servers do not allow indestructible blocks.

Equipment

Prepare for battle with the following equipment. You can place chests with sets of equipment near the portal; if you die in the Land, you can quickly take another set. You can also put a bed and sleep in it, so that you can return to the Land without traveling again from the base to the Fortress.

When you go through a portal, you need to be prepared for a tough battle.

• Armor: the best available, preferably reinforced diamond armor;
• Shoes: There is a high chance of falling from great heights during battle, so shoes with Zero Gravity may come in handy;
• Sword: you can kill a dragon different weapons, the best of which is diamond sword, preferably enchanted with high level Witnesses;
• Pickaxe: you shouldn’t leave the house without it;
• Bow and arrows: more arrows, at least two quivers;
• Food: useful for treatment;
• Ladders: three or more for climbing;
• Edge Pearls: useful for teleportation;
• Blocks: one or two sets, made of cobblestones or other materials;
• Potions (optional): healing and regeneration will never interfere in battle; It’s dark in the Land, so a night vision potion will help;
• Pumpkin (optional): The Land is full of Enders. If you wear a pumpkin instead of a helmet, you can avoid battles with them, but visibility will deteriorate;
• Piston and redstone source (torch, lever or button) to collect dragon eggs after victory.
• Glass vessels - for collecting dragon breath to create potions.

Let's go to the Edge

When you are ready, enter the portal. You will find yourself on an obsidian platform in a strange place of greenish stone of the End, inhabited by wanderers. You will fight in a circle of obsidian pillars called the End Pillars.

Spawn point on the platform.

If you find yourself in a small cave, dig a ladder to the surface. If you are on a flying platform far from the mainland (as in the picture), throw an Ender Pearl for teleportation or build a bridge with the blocks that you had the foresight to take with you.

There are sooo many of them here.

Don't look at the Enders (Edgewalkers), then they won't bother you. If you can't avoid staring, use a pumpkin instead of a helmet.

The dragon can attack different ways: fireballs and breathing. Both of these attacks leave a cloud of poison that you need to stay away from. It also deals damage by hitting with its head or wings, but armor should keep the damage to a minimum.

The dragon is healed when it flies near the End crystal, so you need to destroy the crystal first and only then attack the dragon.

The main risk is that the dragon can throw the player into the air or throw him off a high pillar, causing great damage when falling. Shoes with the "Zero Gravity" enchantment will reduce the damage; Ender pearls or a bucket of water can also help.

When a dragon is charging towards you, a hit to the head with a sword or arrow can cause it to stop attacking.

Destroying the End Crystal

Each End pillar contains a crystal at the end. You need to destroy them before you fight the dragon. Some of them can be shot from the ground with a bow.

The main danger is falling from a high pole.

Two crystals are protected by an iron cage; you have to climb up and break the cage with a pickaxe.

Climb the ladder to the End Crystal in the cage.

By standing at the top of the stairs a block below the pillar level, you can destroy the crystal without harming yourself and have good aim at the crystals on the other pillars.

Hint: The dragon will attack you more often as the crystals are destroyed, so the most difficult climbs should be done first.

Kill the dragon

Once the crystals are destroyed, it's time to deal with the dragon. About half the time he flies over the exit portal from this world in the center of the arena. At this time, he can be attacked with a sword.

Stay behind the dragon to avoid being hit by its head and wings. After some time he will fly away, but will soon return. Continue this until the dragon is killed.

When the Ender Dragon is Dead

After this, several events will happen:

1. You will get a lot of points;
2. The portal to the normal world will become active (there will be a dragon egg at the top of the pillar);
3. A Gate will appear giving access to the outer islands.

If you bring empty glass vessels with you, you can collect dragon's breath in them to create potions.

If you try to break the dragon egg, it will teleport to another location nearby. If you want to pick up an egg as a trophy, you need to act quietly:

1. Close the exit portal with blocks to prevent the egg from falling through it;
2. Place the plunger next to the egg so that when activated it will push it;
3. Activate the piston using the red torch, button or lever.

Access to outer islands

After the death of the dragon, a gate will appear on the border of the island that can teleport you to another part of the Land, where there are many islands and cities to explore. But the gate is too small in size. How to get through them?

Answer: Throw the Ender Pearl into the teleporter.

There's a lot to see on the other side of the gate. The city and the ship of the End (you can find it in it).

A real treasure trove. There is more than one of these here.

When you get tired of this area, return to the place where the dragon died and jump into the portal to return home and “win” in Minecraft.

You can respawn the dragon and do it all over again by creating four End Crystals and placing them around the exit portal.

Crafting an Edge crystal.

To craft the crystal you will need the Eye of Ender, seven units of glass and a Ghast tear. And if there shouldn’t be any problems with the glass and eyes, then Ghast’s tear will make you sweat.

Ghasts offend in Hell. Hunting them is a very difficult and dangerous task, as they fly high in a cave or above lava.

That's all. Now you know how to find the Edge, how to defeat the Ender Dragon and what you need for this. Good luck!

The Ender Dragon is a very large, jet-black dragon with bright purple eyes. He lives in the End dimension, which can be reached through a portal in the fortress.

Underground is a complex structure made of various types of stone bricks. It is a huge multi-level room with spiral staircases and ramps. In one of the rooms of the fortress there is a dilapidated End portal, which needs to be repaired by inserting the required number of End Eyes into the destroyed cells.

By the way, the fortress itself can be found using the Eye of the Edge. To do this, you need to take it in your hand and press the right mouse button. After this, the Eye of the End will fly in the direction of the nearest fortress for three seconds, emitting purple sparks. After three seconds, it will fall to the ground, from where it can be picked up, or disappear (this happens in twenty percent of cases).

The Eye of Ender can be made by mixing Ender Pearls with fire powder in the inventory window or on the workbench. Ender Pearls drop when killing Ender Wanderers, and fire powder is obtained from fire wands, which can be obtained by killing Ifrit in the Nether.

Battle tactics

After passing through the portal in the fortress, you will find yourself in the End dimension, and you will not be able to return back until you kill the Ender Dragon, since the return portal appears only after its death. To defeat the dragon, you will need iron, or better yet, diamond armor (best enchanted), good sword and a bow with several stacks (stacks of sixty-four) of arrows.

The correct tactic during the battle with the Ender Dragon is to destroy the Ender crystals that are located on the tops of the black obsidian pillars. The fact is that the dragon is healed by flying past them, this is accompanied by the corresponding animation - the crystal and the dragon are connected by a sparkling white line. If the crystal is destroyed during healing, it will cause great damage to the Ender Dragon. Crystals can be destroyed with arrows or snowballs, just hit them.

Please note that the dragon destroys absolutely any blocks, and it easily passes through obsidian and stones of the End, so it is useless to protect against it with walls of blocks. It is better to move quickly in space and shoot the dragon with a bow. A successful dragon attack can knock the player into the void, resulting in immediate death.

The Ender Dragon explodes in a beam of bright purple light upon death. Then a return portal to the normal world appears. When passing through it, the player sees credits. Moreover, at first they represent a philosophical conversation. After the end of the credits, the player returns to the point where he started the game. You can go to the Land again, but the dragon will no longer be there.

In Minecraft, starting with version 1.0.0, a world called “End” was introduced; this world was supposedly the end of the game. In minecraft you can only get there through a portal. And this world is protected by a terrifying boss - a dragon. It is also called the “Edge of the World” and the “World of Enders”, and the monster is called the “Edge Dragon”. Before you go to the other world of Minecraft, we advise you to watch a couple of educational videos and prepare yourself well.

The edge dragon is a hefty black winged creature with large square (not surprising, right? :)))) violet glowing eyes. This is the largest mob in the game (of course, if you do not take into account plugins, mods and cheats). Its wings are dark gray in places. Just like the spider and the Ender, his “ all seeing eyes" are visible everywhere, so you can see them from anywhere in the world of Minecraft Edge. The question arises - why the hell would we need to raise such a monster? But that’s okay, the main thing is how to get out of the Land?

But you can make everything simpler - kill a couple of dozen Enders, and get the Eye of Ender, launch them by right-clicking. In which direction the eye flies, that’s where it will need to go. To fight a dragon, you need to prepare in advance. There is also a video about ways and tactics of defeating a dragon.

To "make" a scoundrel, you will need to stock up big amount food, a bunch of arrows, and also take good armor and of course a diamond sword. It's best if you enchant it all. So, we remember - in order to get back to our world, we will need to “make” a dragon, that is, kill it/

The portal to the "World of Edge" looks like this:

How to kill a dragon and get an egg

After you enter the portal, you will find yourself in the world of "Enders", where the first thing that catches your eye is a bunch of "Enders" and everything consists of "Endernyak". It’s immediately clear that the ordinary world of Minecraft and the “World of Enders” are very different.

So, how to actually kill a dragon. The main thing is to destroy its sources of life. They are on poles at different heights. When he flies near such a pillar, he restores his vital energy. Therefore, before killing him, we first demolish all the pillars. After this, he will no longer be able to regenerate life.

Well, now it’s just a matter of small things - we shoot at him with our powerful (preferably enchanted) arrows and that’s it, the trick is in the bag. When it falls you will receive:

• a lot of experience
• an egg that needs to be picked up and from which we will raise our little dragon
• a portal will open under the murder site to return home

How to raise a dragon

Now we will tell you how to raise a dragon in minecraft. When we received the egg and got home to make ourselves a dragon, firstly we need a warm place. After finding a suitable place, you need to take the egg and press RMB. It will take some time for it to hatch. The warmer the place, the faster his birth will be. You can, for example, place lava around it. It hatches quite quickly.

After the appearance of this miracle, we will need to feed him raw fish. The pet will run after you everywhere, protect you and please the eye. Taming it is quite simple; you can give commands with the help of a bone. When it gets bigger, you will be able to use it as a mount - you will fly on it. It's a thrill. By the way, it is better to do this in the saddle.

But in regular Minecraft It is impossible to tame a dragon. To do this we will need a mod called Dragon Mount. You can download it on our website. Also, to fully study this mod, you can watch the video so that unnecessary questions do not arise.
