Ender Dragon

The Ender Dragon, the final boss residing in the End dimension, commands the skies, protected by health-restoring Ender Crystals. Defeat grants immense XP and access to the End Gateway, unlocking End Cities and the coveted Elytra.

Tactics and Triumph

The Ender Dragon's arsenal includes Dragon Breath, fireballs, and a devastating Charge Attack. Prioritize destroying the Ender Crystals on obsidian pillars to prevent healing. Exploit its vulnerability during the Perch Phase, when it lands on the End Portal, for maximum melee damage.

Wither

The Wither, a fearsome three-headed monstrosity, demands a player-summoned confrontation. Construct a T-shaped structure using soul sand or soul soil and three Wither Skeleton skulls to unleash this destructive force. Its presence wreaks havoc, attacking relentlessly.

Strategies for Subjugation

The Wither unleashes explosive power, launching Wither Skulls that inflict area damage and the debilitating Wither effect. Below 50% health, it enters a rage, charging and regenerating health while becoming arrow-immune.

Arm yourself with a fully enchanted Netherite sword (Smite V), a Power V bow, and full Netherite armor (Protection IV or Blast Protection IV). Stock up on Strength II, Regeneration, and Healing potions, along with Milk buckets to counteract the Wither effect. Golden Apples and Totems of Undying provide crucial lifelines. Summon the Wither underground in a confined space to control its movement.

Warden

The Warden, a blind behemoth inhabiting the Deep Dark biome near Ancient Cities, is a non-hostile creature unless provoked. Its sensitivity to vibrations makes stealth paramount.

Evasion and Engagement

The Warden's attacks are devastating, including powerful melee strikes and a sonic boom. Avoid detection by sneaking. If combat is unavoidable, utilize ranged attacks (Power V bow) and a Sharpness V Netherite sword for close-quarters combat. Protection IV armor, milk buckets (to remove Slowness), and various potions (Night Vision, Regeneration, Healing, Speed) are essential.

The Ravager, a formidable raid boss, appears during Pillager Raids. Its immense strength and high health make it a destructive force, capable of demolishing structures and crops.

Raid Boss Mastery

The Ravager's attacks include devastating melee strikes and a powerful charge. It often carries other hostile mobs. Use a Power V bow for ranged attacks, switching to a Sharpness V or Smite V Netherite sword for close combat. Protection IV armor and Regeneration/Healing potions are crucial for survival.

Evoker

The Evoker, a spellcasting villager found in Woodland Mansions and during raids, drops the valuable Totem of Undying. Despite low health, its magical attacks pose a significant threat.

Woodland Mansion Warfare

The Evoker summons Fangs, Vexes, and employs a sheep-transforming spell. Prioritize eliminating the Evoker quickly to prevent Vex summoning. Use a Power V bow or a Sharpness V Netherite sword. Protection IV armor and Healing/Regeneration potions are essential.

Endermen, tall, neutral mobs found in various dimensions, become hostile upon direct eye contact or attack. Their teleportation and block-manipulation abilities make them challenging opponents.

Nighttime Nemesis

Endermen teleport to evade projectiles and attack with powerful melee strikes. Wear a carved pumpkin to avoid provoking them. Use water or a two-block-high shelter for protection. A Sharpness V sword, Protection IV armor, and Regeneration potions are recommended.

The Piglin Brute, a powerful, aggressive mob found in Nether Bastion Remnants, wields a golden axe and possesses high health and strong melee attacks.

Shulkers, found in End Cities, hide within shells and attack with homing projectiles that inflict Levitation.

End City Encounters

Aerial Assault

Phantoms swoop down for melee attacks. A Power V bow is ideal for ranged combat. A Sharpness V Netherite sword, Protection IV armor, Regeneration/Healing potions, and Night Vision potions are helpful. Regular sleeping prevents their spawning.

Hoglin

Hoglins, aggressive Nether mobs, roam in herds and charge with powerful melee attacks.
