Obtaining Multiple Elytras by Respawning the Ender Dragon

On multiplayer servers where End Cities have already been raided, or in singleplayer worlds where you want backup wings, you do not have to travel thousands of blocks across the outer islands. Because the Ender Dragon drops an elytra upon defeat, you can summon the boss again to earn additional pairs.

Crafting End Crystals

To summon the dragon after the initial fight, gather materials for four End Crystals:

1. Hunt Ghasts in the Nether to collect four Ghast Tears, and defeat Blazes to craft four Eyes of Ender.

2. Smelt sand into glass blocks.

3. At a crafting table, surround an Eye of Ender with seven glass blocks and place a Ghast Tear in the bottom-center slot. Repeat this four times.

Summoning and Defeating the Dragon Again

1. Return to the central bedrock exit portal on the main End island. If the Dragon Egg is still resting on top, collect it first so it is not disturbed.

2. Place one End Crystal on the middle bedrock block of each of the four portal rims.

3.

4. Watch chat for the End broadcast and your personal drop message, then pick up the new elytra at your location and apply Unbreaking and Mending books to extend its durability.
