Defeat the Ender Dragon and Harvest Its Food Drops

Dragon Loot Changes

The Ender Dragon's loot table has been updated by this data pack. When you defeat the dragon using any weapon, it now drops cooking ingredients alongside its normal rewards.

Steps to Fight and Loot the Dragon

1. Prepare for the final boss fight: bring armor, weapons, healing items, and blocks for building.

2. Enter the End dimension and locate the Ender Dragon hovering above the exit portal.

3. Destroy the healing crystals on top of obsidian pillars to prevent the dragon from regenerating.

4. Attack the dragon with your chosen weapon—sword, bow, or any other tool.

5. Continue attacking until the dragon is defeated.

6. Collect all drops, including the new food ingredients, from around the exit portal.

What to Expect

The dragon fight is challenging and requires strategy. Focus on crystal destruction first, then sustained damage to the dragon itself. The food ingredient drops supplement the experience orbs and egg you normally receive.

Bring multiple weapons in case one breaks during the fight. Consider bringing a bow with plenty of arrows for safer ranged combat against the dragon.
