For this tutorial you will need to have at least basic knowledge of the ins and outs of Minecraft.
This step could take a very long time.
Only diamond picks can mine obsidian. You can also use obsidian in the crafting of an enchantment table, which can help a lot when fighting the dragon or simply playing the game in general.
Nether Wart is a key ingredient in potions, and it only grows on Soul Sand, so collect some Soul Sand (it’s brown with a face-like pattern) and try farming it in your base. Nether Wart can be found naturally occurring in nether fortresses in two small patches alongside stairs going upwards.
1. 16+ only: You can get ender #pearls by trading with piglins in bastion remnants. There are 4 main types you will want to know about. These types are housing, stables, bridge, and treasure. Each of them have their own unique traits so it’s important to be able to tell the difference. Teleportation. Right-click with an ender pearl selected to throw the ender pearl, and be teleported to its landing site. This can be quite useful in areas such as ravines, large caves, and the Nether. Eye of Ender ingredient. You use ender pearls to craft ender eyes.
This is a shapeless recipe, and the ingredients can be placed anywhere in the crafting grid. Blaze powder is crafted by dropping a blaze rod anywhere in the crafting grid.
The Eyes have a 1 in 5 chance of being destroyed after each use so bring a lot of them.
As usual, don’t dig straight down, as the End Portal frame is suspended directly over a shallow lava pool! If you aren’t above the frame itself, you could fall into a deep dark cave and take fall damage, along with a potential attack from various hostile monsters.
You will not be harmed by the lava under the portal when you are jumping into an activated portal, but if it is not activated you will likely burn to death and lose all your equipment!
Watch out for Endermen, they spawn heavily in this dimension. Saving, exiting, and reloading while in the End, if you have not yet killed the dragon, will cause a second dragon to spawn. Make sure you have enough time to finish the battle.
You may spawn underground. If this is the case, just dig your way out.
You can destroy them with any attack, including a snowball. Using a close-range weapon is not recommended, since the crystals explode when hit. Some crystals are defended by iron bars. [3] X Research source
Since trying to sleep in the End or Nether results in an explosion, you can use beds to damage the ender dragon. Just place it in front of you, stand back, and then try to sleep when the dragon comes close. In Java Edition, the dragon is invulnerable to arrows while it is perched on top of the portal.

You can go back to the End whenever you want now, provided you can reach the portal. Several valuable things can be found there, such as the Endermen and their valuable Ender Pearls, and the Obsidian and End Stone blocks, which are some of the most blast-resistant blocks in the game that you can use. The 1. 9 update to the Java Edition (known as the Combat Update) added End Cities and End Ships.
