The Ender Dragon is no longer a simple target. The battle is divided into several dynamic phases, and the dragon possesses advanced AI and new abilities.

Battle Phases

Phase	Behavior
Passive	The dragon flies around, occasionally diving at the player.
Aggressive	The dragon actively pursues the player, dealing high contact damage.
Fireball	Shoots explosive fireballs that leave lingering fire or potion effects.
Vampire Bats	Summons a swarm of Vampire Bats to distract and drain the player's health.
Dive Bomb	Dives into the ground and erupts beneath the player.

Dragon Crystals

Crystals are now protected by iron bars or TNT traps. Their healing range and speed scale with the world's difficulty setting. Destroying them is essential to prevent the dragon from regenerating health during its passive phases.

Rewards

Upon death, the dragon drops a massive amount of experience and Dragon Essence, a critical material for high-tier brewing and altar upgrades. The Dragon Egg also gains new functionality, acting as a teleportation anchor or a crafting ingredient for the Temple Caller.
