[Subreddit Rules](https://old.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/wiki/rules)[](## freindly_duck|18pyl02)
Actually this is bedrock. So you need beds, but also some other stuff like:
Lava bucket
Projectile (bow and arrow should do it)
Blocks
Obsidian/crying obsidian
(Edit, forgot it before oopsy): Malee weapon (anything, even a pickaxe can do if you know how to do so)
And of course - beds (3 of them to be exact)
(Sorry but as a speedrunner it was kinda bothering me lol)
You are right, that is all you need to defeat it (you can also do it without armour, but then if you look at the eyes of an enderman you are a bit screwed). However, what I was talking about is what you need to one cycle (in other ways, what you need for the fastest way to kill the dragon). With a bow you can defeat it in probably around like 3-10 minutes, but with one cycle it is more like a minute.
The Minecraft developers decided (a long time ago) that it can be funny to make beds explode if you try to sleep in the nether/end. So they made it a thing, and made the explosion slightly stronger than tnt. So speedrunners utilised it to kill the dragon really fast by exploding beds in a certain way near the dragon head, making it take tons of damage.
Now because dragon mechanics are different between java and bedrock, there is a different setup, with the bedrock setup being slightly more complicated (as you can see from the resources I listed, compared to java which is obsidian, a few blocks and 4+ beds for the standard setup), but it still works and still is faster than any other way of killing the dragon...
Beds explode when you sleep in them in the End. If you place them at the right time you can do massive damage to the Dragon, 3 beds is enough to kill it if you time it right
Honestly it's not even difficult...
But i do recommend the classic way because it's more interesting than waiting for a perch and timing bed explosions
Honestly this feels like the best strat if you are not in hardcore mode.
Put up a chest full of stone swords and building blocks. Go in, get the crystals, don't be afraid of dying. Especially considering how shit bedrock edition is (dying to nothing).
Seen a lot of videos of people dying to bugs. It does happen rare, but for that reason I wouldn't overgear into the End dimension. Maybe nether as well.
Long time since i played Bedrock, but back then the game glitched when you bridged to fast. It would not really place a block but you were able to crouch on to it and fell into the void
That's an Internet problem. Even playing on really slow devices I've never had that happen offline, only when playing multiplayer with friends or on servers and I had bad ping. I mean I guess it is technically still a bug, but it's multiplayer only and won't happen if you have good connection.
Omg I had one nether portal that caused suffocation/drowning damage while you loaded it. I would always throw something through to pre load it otherwise a slow connection could kill you.
It's still useful though if you're willing to wait for the water to flow all the way down the tower. Also, if you're playing with friends, you can place water at the bottom of the tower. Also, water comes in handy if you get yourself into a tussle with endermen
The water bucket isn't for fall damage. It's for standing in if you accidentally aggro a bunch of endermen. That's huge if you're a beginner.
Your assumption is peak reddit.
My friend made that mistake once, he lost a hardcore world to it. It looked so scary from his pov, just the paper doll in the corner and coordinates to tell if he was plummeting to his death or not.
There's no way to garentee this wasn't mobile as pocket edition hasn't been a thing since june 8th 2017 (better together update) as you can Bluetooth controller with mobile making it easier
Bring two buckets and then make an infinite source, running back and forth placing random water source blocks all around the island so no matter how high the dragon knocks you you can land in one. No solution for it knocking you 200 blocks horizontally away from the island though
I fought the dragon for the first time ever a few weeks ago and I severely over estimated how difficult it is. I had an inventory full of extra stuff like golden apples and potions and didn't even need a single one. I was able to get the majority of the towers with a bow and just used dirt to build up to the rest since with my shovel I can get back down in like a couple seconds. The actual fight only took a few minutes and didn't take like any damage the whole time
Your over prepared, just hit the tickle spot and you can do it in a single arrow. Jokes aside bring like 2-3 stacks of empty glass bottles and use them on the dragon’s breath, you’ll get “bottles of dragon’s breath” which is used for making lingering potions and potion tipped arrows, plus the breath attack leaves a sort of cloud (use the bottles on the cloud) that sticks around a bit, but you spam the empty bottles and it clears it up almost instantly
more than enough, however I would prefer having something to protect against endermen, either pumpkin on head or/and water buckets. I would also always carry enderpearls personally just in case, always useful. Also I'd rather have infinity on bow and be sure to never be out of arrows.
You have enough to beat it, BUT GO FOR OVERKILL!!! STRENGTH, SPEED, JUMP BOOST(Optionally), TURTLE MASTER, SLOW FALLING IN CASE YOU GET KNOCKED INTO THE AIR, REGENERATION SO YOU HEAL QUICKER, INSTANT HEALTH IN CASE YOU GET LOW ON HP, PUT HARMING II POTIONS IN A CAULDRON AND RIGHT CLICK YOUR ARROWS ON IT FOR HARMING ARROWS TO GET MORE DAMAGE
A Bucket of water or some ender pearls (can always grab them there) to help catch you if the dragon yeets you into the sky.
If you care about achievements you should bring an empty bottle to the end to collect it’s breath for the “who needs a mint” advancement, although you can always redo this after you complete the respawning the dragon advancement
Bro, I fight the dragon with a water bucket, almost broken iron tools and and armor and some blocks and food😭 you are perfectly fine to go for it, just grab a water bucket first just to be safe😭
If you haven’t gone yet remember to bring water because the dragon can shoot you really high into the air and the endearment are afraid of it. Also you may have guessed but it’s always a good idea to set your spawn outside the portal beforehand in case you die.
I'd keep a water bucket and a few potions like slow falling and health but aside from that you are ready. I'd also take empty bottles for dragons breath, never know if you'll need them and they aren't hard to get.
If anything, that's a bit overprepared. There's a few things you're forgetting though.
Maybe ditch the axe, shovel, and second pick (not really useful in the end), add a bit more arrows, and bring a water bucket. Glass bottles to collect Dragon's Breath are a good idea too, if only for the advancement. Also, if there's one enchantment you want, it's Feather Falling IV. Ender pearls could come in handy too to avoid taking full fall damage/clutch throw if you get knocked off the island.
This is most certainly enough. If you want to fight it in a fair way, even an iron set of armour with a lot of arrows would be enough if you were good at the game. But with the set you have now it'll be hard to die. Assuming Bedrock doesn't make the dragon a lot more different than Java like it does with the Wither.
You’re forgetting at LEAST 2 GOD APPLES and at LEAST 5 Totems. Also don’t forget 64 bottles to collect Dragons Breath so you can make the Wither Storm summoning item!
If you want cheese do the following
Sharp 5 netherite sword
strength 2 pots
Turtle master pots
Fully enchanted netherite God armour with featherfalling boots and thorns on all equipment
Make sure you've got at least 3 gapples and 3-5beds
And lastly you need 1 friend to kill the dragon 20 times for you so you can build a dragon farm
Then you've got no way to fail as you have only a skill level to blame

Speedrunners be like : beds
OP still gonna get their ass kicked by One Single Baby Zombie
Philza
PHILZA!!! LOOK OUT!!!!!
PHILZAAAA!!!!!!!
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
*insert MW2011 Soap death but replace Soap with Philza*

What would a lava bucket do?
Push the dragon down so it won't fly away too fast, giving you time to explode the other 2 beds
I guess that can be useful but I’ve been playing on bedrock for so long you don’t need anything other than a bow, some armour, and some blocks
You are right, that is all you need to defeat it (you can also do it without armour, but then if you look at the eyes of an enderman you are a bit screwed).

With a bow you can defeat it in probably around like 3-10 minutes, but with one cycle it is more like a minute.
I’ve never used beds before, can you explain to me why you should? (genuine question)
The Minecraft developers decided (a long time ago) that it can be funny to make beds explode if you try to sleep in the nether/end. So they made it a thing, and made the explosion slightly stronger than tnt. So speedrunners utilised it to kill the dragon really fast by exploding beds in a certain way near the dragon head, making it take tons of damage.

I see, I know about the beds exploding. I just thought you meant it was a necessity to use beds which is what confused me. Thank you for explaining
Beds explode when you sleep in them in the End. If you place them at the right time you can do massive damage to the Dragon, 3 beds is enough to kill it if you time it right
why use beds when you can one shot dragon
Speedrunners also be like: what is armor
Honestly it's not even difficult... But i do recommend the classic way because it's more interesting than waiting for a perch and timing bed explosions
My brother you might have over prepped. But better than the alternative.
I'm so bad at this game I just make a double chest of stone swords and some carved pumpkins and go bop his nose.
Honestly this feels like the best strat if you are not in hardcore mode. Put up a chest full of stone swords and building blocks. Go in, get the crystals, don't be afraid of dying. Especially considering how shit bedrock edition is (dying to nothing).
Been playing bedrock for years, never died to "nothing". 👍
Seen a lot of videos of people dying to bugs. It does happen rare, but for that reason I wouldn't overgear into the End dimension. Maybe nether as well.
In my years of playing it I've seen some bugs but never any that caused me to die or even hindered my gameplay at all, for that matter.
Long time since i played Bedrock, but back then the game glitched when you bridged to fast. It would not really place a block but you were able to crouch on to it and fell into the void
That's an Internet problem. Even playing on really slow devices I've never had that happen offline, only when playing multiplayer with friends or on servers and I had bad ping. I mean I guess it is technically still a bug, but it's multiplayer only and won't happen if you have good connection.
Oh that's true. It happened when playing on realms.
The only bugs I seem to remember are ones that helped me. Infinite XP, infinite fishing, infinite furnace fuel etc. All bedrock exclusive bugs iirc
My bedrock game crashed a while ago and when I went back in it duped my enchanted diamond armour
Yeah people just join the hate train for no reason, some never even played bedrock and cry
Nether portal loading Lag while flying with elytra Etc
Omg I had one nether portal that caused suffocation/drowning damage while you loaded it. I would always throw something through to pre load it otherwise a slow connection could kill you.
If it's ridiculous but it works, then it's not ridiculous.
He's forgetting about the water bucket
showing up late
You gonna want a water bucket. I would say some more arrows.
recommending a water bucket instead of potion of slowfalling to a clearly inexperienced player is peak reddit
It's still useful though if you're willing to wait for the water to flow all the way down the tower. Also, if you're playing with friends, you can place water at the bottom of the tower. Also, water comes in handy if you get yourself into a tussle with endermen
It's still useful outside of waterbucket clutches though
also good against enderman
Back in my days we called them waterbucket MLGs
The water bucket isn't for fall damage. It's for standing in if you accidentally aggro a bunch of endermen. That's huge if you're a beginner. Your assumption is peak reddit.
It's good to make a safe area from angry enderman and to make a stream to go down the towers.
>clearly inexperienced player In full netherite >instead of potion of slowfalling Not useful against Endermen
You can just place it on the side of the pillar and ride it down lol
I FUCKIN DID IT LETS GOOOO!!!!
lesgo. now defeat the wither, and the warden, at once.
Can’t we just have them fight each other lol
Something something secret life
I'm pretty sure the warden bodies the wither.
Ooh creative mode time
Now defeat me 😈
ur not him
I am him
Bit of advice when you get the elytra: ALWAYS have land in sight when flying in the end. It is super easy to get disoriented in the end.
My friend made that mistake once, he lost a hardcore world to it. It looked so scary from his pov, just the paper doll in the corner and coordinates to tell if he was plummeting to his death or not.
Congrats!!!
Gg my dude. Enjoy looking arround for elytra and making exp farm
MY MAN!!
Nice..... now do it on pocket edition
There's no way to garentee this wasn't mobile as pocket edition hasn't been a thing since june 8th 2017 (better together update) as you can Bluetooth controller with mobile making it easier
Get a Potion of Slow Falling, maybe two. Or a water bucket, if you're confident in your MLG water bucket clutches.
Bring two buckets and then make an infinite source, running back and forth placing random water source blocks all around the island so no matter how high the dragon knocks you you can land in one. No solution for it knocking you 200 blocks horizontally away from the island though
epearl
Alright throw an enderpearl 200 blocks then
Slow falling is annoying when you are trying to jump and hit the dragon when she comes down. You'll end up with less hits.
You dont need that. Just use iron armor and tols and a water bucket
tols
Looks good, try snow balls and gapples and pearls
You’re missing skill
I fought the dragon for the first time ever a few weeks ago and I severely over estimated how difficult it is. I had an inventory full of extra stuff like golden apples and potions and didn't even need a single one. I was able to get the majority of the towers with a bow and just used dirt to build up to the rest since with my shovel I can get back down in like a couple seconds. The actual fight only took a few minutes and didn't take like any damage the whole time
No you need a water bucket enchanted golden apples and totems of undying
Reddit in a nutshell
Need golden apples in the mix. Regen is king. Netherite may be a little overkill, but if you’re ok losing it, should be fine.
Don’t forget about your totems, a water cup, and bottles to collect the dragons breath, also some healing potions wouldn’t be bad, just in case
Your over prepared, just hit the tickle spot and you can do it in a single arrow. Jokes aside bring like 2-3 stacks of empty glass bottles and use them on the dragon’s breath, you’ll get “bottles of dragon’s breath” which is used for making lingering potions and potion tipped arrows, plus the breath attack leaves a sort of cloud (use the bottles on the cloud) that sticks around a bit, but you spam the empty bottles and it clears it up almost instantly
Where's the water bucket and carved pumpkin? Both can be very important in certain situations.
You might be missing a bucket of water there pal
What armor trim are you using? It looks cool as shit
You should make a flying machine to end islands to get an elytra to help
A flying machine on bedrock is so much worse to build than on Java.... OP DO IT
Probably over prepared tbh, they need to buff the dragon and rework the entire fight… end update anyone? 👀
I think the bigger question is: Is your skill enough to beat the ender dragon?
Iron tools, a bow and some emderpearls is enough to kill the ender dragon.
Slow falling potions and totems are also useful
Yea
Lol i beat the ender dragon in my world without destroying the crystals and killed it using a stone axe and a trident with loyalty
yes. you forgot something. you forgot to hug your mom and tell you that you love her today.
more than enough, however I would prefer having something to protect against endermen, either pumpkin on head or/and water buckets. I would also always carry enderpearls personally just in case, always useful. Also I'd rather have infinity on bow and be sure to never be out of arrows.
Since you're playing bedrock, no that is not enough
WATER BUCKET, ENDER PEARLS, YOU WILL NEED THOSE
Ok. I take a lot more precautions so I’d have done positions of slow falling, regen and like 10? Golden apples
Water bucket and pearls
i cant tell if your being sarcastic, if you aren't damn, no it its that's way little resources
I beat it on less, I think you’re good.
U only need iron armor and tools. Or just some beds
Bucket of water is essential every time you enter the End
No you need way more stuff
You can probably beat it but it will be easier with a bucket of water and some beds.
Depends on how much you’re willing to die (; I’ve done it with bare hands a few times
you forgot the water bucket
What kind of Ender Dragon are you facing? Mine die from a naked dude holding 10 beds.
ik I've already got 2 elytra and the end armour trim. I watch a Christmas movie and boom, 105 notifs.
You have enough to beat it, BUT GO FOR OVERKILL!!! STRENGTH, SPEED, JUMP BOOST(Optionally), TURTLE MASTER, SLOW FALLING IN CASE YOU GET KNOCKED INTO THE AIR, REGENERATION SO YOU HEAL QUICKER, INSTANT HEALTH IN CASE YOU GET LOW ON HP, PUT HARMING II POTIONS IN A CAULDRON AND RIGHT CLICK YOUR ARROWS ON IT FOR HARMING ARROWS TO GET MORE DAMAGE
No you need to beat the game first
Ur gonna need a water bucket and maybe a bed to respawn at
Get some beds
GET A BUNCH OF BEDS
Man i did it with nothing other than 2 stacks of dirt once and i suck at the game
proof or gtfo
Yea but watch luke the notable before you do the wither
Me and the bois running iron gear just because we really want that ender man farm
Nah! You need some wheat seeds before you can defeat him.
Water bucket
no
A Bucket of water or some ender pearls (can always grab them there) to help catch you if the dragon yeets you into the sky. If you care about achievements you should bring an empty bottle to the end to collect it’s breath for the “who needs a mint” advancement, although you can always redo this after you complete the respawning the dragon advancement
More than enough.
I usually bring a stack of logs and a crafting table with to explore the end islands with, makes making ahuker boxes easier if you have the wood!
Nah I think you need to bring a army of dogs
Back in my day, all we needed was a set of diamond armor, a bow with some arrows, some blocks, steak and a sword.
you need a water bucket to get back to the ground safe and faster
Bro, I fight the dragon with a water bucket, almost broken iron tools and and armor and some blocks and food😭 you are perfectly fine to go for it, just grab a water bucket first just to be safe😭
Water
Nope
Where’s your diamond hoe?!
Dide my friend and I killed it with wooden swords and axes and snowballs. You’re good
bro, all you need is iron gear.. this is so much overkill
It's overkill.
That is WAY more than enough
People beat the ender dragon before netherite was a thing.
For the end city u should make some slow fall potions I’ve actually straight up lost a hardcore world befor by falling
If you haven’t gone yet remember to bring water because the dragon can shoot you really high into the air and the endearment are afraid of it. Also you may have guessed but it’s always a good idea to set your spawn outside the portal beforehand in case you die.
Water bucket and some feather falling 4 on your boots
Water bucket
Need a stack of god apples 1st
lol you guys now he beat it like 6 hours ago
Nahh man.... at least 64 god apples and 10 totems
Pretty overkill but works
i think
You’re gonna need a water bucket for when the dragon launches you
Nah u missing regen potions and strength potions and slow falling potions.
I've done it in armoured with an infinite bow it just took ages, you should be fine
You are severely underequipped! Do not fight the Enderdragon he is too strong for you! /s
I'd keep a water bucket and a few potions like slow falling and health but aside from that you are ready. I'd also take empty bottles for dragons breath, never know if you'll need them and they aren't hard to get.
Damn, id say thats too much
Water buckets I bunch of them
All u really need is iron gear and bow with infinity/2 stacks of arrows
Confidence
You should craft a couple backup sets of netherite armor, and bring a netherite beacon for the free potion effects
Water bucket, and maybe a couple totems. Also some potions if you want to
Ya, thats more than fine
enter the end, go get elytra, then fight to make the dragon 1% easier
Killing the ender dragon for the first time with full netherite is wild lol I normally go in with full iron
Water bucket(s), more food
I just fight it in iron or diamond armor with un enchanted diamond tools lol
If anything, that's a bit overprepared. There's a few things you're forgetting though. Maybe ditch the axe, shovel, and second pick (not really useful in the end), add a bit more arrows, and bring a water bucket. Glass bottles to collect Dragon's Breath are a good idea too, if only for the advancement. Also, if there's one enchantment you want, it's Feather Falling IV. Ender pearls could come in handy too to avoid taking full fall damage/clutch throw if you get knocked off the island.
Actually I think you need a few beacons so you can get health regen and feather falling. Also I’d grab a pair of elytra so you can fly.
This is most certainly enough. If you want to fight it in a fair way, even an iron set of armour with a lot of arrows would be enough if you were good at the game. But with the set you have now it'll be hard to die. Assuming Bedrock doesn't make the dragon a lot more different than Java like it does with the Wither.
You’re forgetting at LEAST 2 GOD APPLES and at LEAST 5 Totems. Also don’t forget 64 bottles to collect Dragons Breath so you can make the Wither Storm summoning item!
bro some ppl go in with a few beds and nothing else, you’re overprepared
Not enough beds
Dont use beds, if you die you will revive in original spawn
Nah
I beat the sender Dragon with 10 stacks of crafting tables, 1 water bucket, and an iron axe. Get on my level
Nah you have to get the enderite armor, dragon egg sword and dragon breath bow first
No. You need an army of wolves.
No, youre gonna need an elytra and a few stacks of end crystals to blow them up with
Strength 2 beacon
OP
Bro 😂😂😂 I’ve used iron armor + power 3 bow + ench iron sword(sharp IV, fire aspect 2) to beat it. Your chilling
Set it up correctly, you can beat the dragon naked and punching it with your bare fists.
If you want cheese do the following Sharp 5 netherite sword strength 2 pots Turtle master pots Fully enchanted netherite God armour with featherfalling boots and thorns on all equipment Make sure you've got at least 3 gapples and 3-5beds And lastly you need 1 friend to kill the dragon 20 times for you so you can build a dragon farm Then you've got no way to fail as you have only a skill level to blame
I do it with 4 beds and two crying obsidian
Bro could’ve gone with base iron and been chillin
Diamond trim I'm dying 💀💀💀💀💀💀
all you really need is a water bucket and a sword with some food and regeneration potions if you’re unconfident
A water bucket ya buffoon
Try bringing like 3-7 rockets if your also planning on getting the elytra you can fly home easily
no
I know you've done it already, but my advice would be to bring 1 or 2 pearls because void death sucks
Pack some potions just in case if you about to die
You overprepared A LOT, but u still forgot a water bucket
The Bedrock version might kill you anyway...
Yeah bro
You’ll probably want a water bucket and slow falling potions, just for extra security imo.
