How to kill Ender Dragon
Destroy the end crystals on the obsidian pillars first (shoot the exposed ones, pillar up to the caged ones) so it cannot heal. Then hit it with a bow while it flies and with a sword when it perches on the exit portal. Beds explode in the End: place one and detonate it as the dragon perches for massive damage. Bring Slow Falling or a water bucket for knockback.
Behavior
Circles the island, breathes dragon's breath (area damage cloud), charges at players, and perches on the exit portal where it is immune to arrows. Heals from end crystals.
Taming and breeding
Cannot be tamed or bred.
