12 Eyes of Ender - You can make an Eye of Ender by combining Ender Pearls and Blaze Rods (found in The Nether). You’ll need at least 12 to activate the End Portal, though you’ll need more if you don’t know the location of a nearby Stronghold. Ender Pearls - Ender Pearls drop when you kill Endermen. Aside from being necessary components of Eyes of Ender, these items can also be thrown to cause the player to teleport to wherever they land. If you aren’t too interested in killing loads of endermen or if you are playing on peaceful difficulty, you can still get ender pearls by bartering with piglins, trading with cleric villagers, or raiding naturally generated chests. A bed - Once you reach the Portal room in the Stronghold, you can place the bed in a safe place in order to save your game before going through the End Portal. Trying to sleep in a bed in the End will cause a large explosion(skilled enough players and speed-runners may use that to one’s advantage while taking down the dragon, though), so resetting your spawn point here is crucial. Cooked food - This will serve as your healing source. Place some raw meat in an oven to cook the meat. You should have enough food to restore your entire health bar several times over. Consider bringing golden apples and, if you are lucky enough to find it, enchanted golden apples as well. Armour - Strong armour, like diamond or netherite, will help you survive Ender Dragon and Endermen attacks. It is recommended to enchant your armour.
If you haven’t yet created armor, make some out of the strongest material you have.
If you build the End Portal in creative mode, you won’t be able to get an achievement for killing the Ender Dragon (even if you switch to Survival Mode after building it).
This is easiest if you first clear the Stronghold of all enemies and loot it as needed. You may have to section off a part of the Portal room to serve as a safe space.
If the End Portal is already lit up, you don’t need to add any Eyes of Ender. The chance for getting a 100% fully lit end portal is very, very rare though—1 in a trillion statistically.
If you do end up in a fight with an Enderman, try to kill it before the next part of the fight. Wearing a pumpkin on your head will prevent Endermen from attacking you if you look at them. However, doing so will make your field of vision smaller in the game and in a “pumpkin” like shape.
You’ll need at least 12 End Stone, but mine as much as possible without attracting the attention of the Ender Dragon.
This may take some practice, so be patient. On Minecraft PE, you’ll tap and hold the screen to throw an End Pearl, while console players will press the left trigger.
The Ender Dragon will most likely fire off an attack toward you after you break an End Crystal, so be prepared to dodge. End Crystals cause the Ender Dragon’s health to regenerate. Once you break all of the End Crystals, the Ender Dragon will cease to be immortal. If your Ender Pearl teleported you into the End Crystal, the End Crystal will break automatically.
You can also use a bow to destroy subsequent End Crystals if preferred.
If you don’t want to climb up and hit the End Crystal, try to shoot an arrow through the gap in one of the corners.
Caged End Crystals explode violently when broken.
If you are knocked off of the pillar, you will most likely die if you hit the ground.
Building four staircases will give you multiple platforms to transition between when the Ender Dragon attacks.
As previously mentioned, bow-and-arrow attacks are useless in this stage.
The Ender Dragon will randomly fly down and perch on top of the portal, and you should be able to take out a third of her health with your sword during this time. {“smallUrl”:“https://www. wikihow. com/images/thumb/a/ad/Kill-the-Ender-Dragon-in-Minecraft-Step-23. jpg/v4-460px-Kill-the-Ender-Dragon-in-Minecraft-Step-23. jpg”,“bigUrl”:"/images/thumb/a/ad/Kill-the-Ender-Dragon-in-Minecraft-Step-23. jpg/aid2571720-v4-728px-Kill-the-Ender-Dragon-in-Minecraft-Step-23. jpg",“smallWidth”:460,“smallHeight”:345,“bigWidth”:728,“bigHeight”:546,“licensing”:"<div class="mw-parser-output">

If you like, you can collect the mist in the bottle to make the cloud dissipate faster and obtain dragon’s breath {“smallUrl”:“https://www. wikihow. com/images/thumb/b/bf/Kill-the-Ender-Dragon-in-Minecraft-Step-24. jpg/v4-460px-Kill-the-Ender-Dragon-in-Minecraft-Step-24. jpg”,“bigUrl”:"/images/thumb/b/bf/Kill-the-Ender-Dragon-in-Minecraft-Step-24. jpg/aid2571720-v4-728px-Kill-the-Ender-Dragon-in-Minecraft-Step-24. jpg",“smallWidth”:460,“smallHeight”:345,“bigWidth”:728,“bigHeight”:546,“licensing”:"<div class="mw-parser-output">

It can be used to create lingering potions.
If the Ender Dragon doesn’t attack immediately, attack her with your sword until she does attack.
The Ender Dragon’s health bar is represented by the purple bar at the top of the screen.
To get the dragon egg, first hit it so that it teleports onto endstone. Put a torch two blocks below it and break the block in between so that the egg drops onto the torch and breaks into a collectable item. Don’t worry if the dragon egg teleports into the portal! If that happens, go to your world spawnpoint (the world generation point, NOT the last bed you slept in) and collect it there just like how you would otherwise do in the end.
