Preliminary information

Before starting to talk about the main topic of this guide of mine, it is important to point out some guidelines that will help you to continue your experience in this very famous video game, up to what can be defined its conclusion, that is the vision of the credits of game over.

First of all, it is important that you prepare yourself as best as possible to face the challenge that you will face to finish Minecraft: defeating the Dragon of the End. In case you don’t know, it is a creature for which the player is required to have an excellent command of game mechanics and equipment that is able to help him defeat it.

The important thing is to acquire all the necessary resources, such as food, which is essential to make sure to recover the health points during the fight. In this regard, I recommend that you consult my guide on how to eat in Minecraft.

Generally speaking, you will also need several other resources to craft equipment, but I’ll talk more about them in the next chapters. In the meantime, in case you need to delve into some topics related to Minecraft mechanics, I suggest you consult my guide on how to play Minecraft.

How to finish Minecraft

To finish Minecraft, it is necessary that some essential operations are performed first that require the preparation of suitable equipment to face the Dragon of the End.

Building weapons and armor

A first step you need to take is to build equipment that can help you defeat the End Dragon. In that regard, I recommend that you forge a diamond weapon and armor, so that you can get the maximum base strength and the best attack.

In case you were wondering how to get diamonds, as they are a rare resource, know that you can find them by digging underground or in the trunks scattered around the world of Minecraft. Alternatively, you can also get them in large quantities, following the advice I gave you in my guide on how to duplicate diamonds in Minecraft.

As for the manufacture of the equipment, you have to use a workbench, inside which you have to add diamonds to create the required objects.

• Helm: 5 units of Diamonds.
• Armor: 8 units of Diamonds.
• Leggings: 7 units of Diamonds.
• Boots: 4 units of Diamonds.

As for the Helmet, you could also use a Carved Pumpkin: the peculiarity of this item is that it can be useful against the Endermen (also present on the battlefield along with the End Dragon) who will not attack you when they you will look. To keep Endermen at bay, you can also use Golems, which I told you about in detail in this guide of mine.

After the armor, it is important that you also make diamond weapons, such as a Sword: it actually has no use against the End Dragon, but it can be useful against the Endermen. You can craft one, in a workbench, using 1 unit of Staff and 2 units of Diamond. In addition to a sword, you will also need a Bow, which is useful for defeating the End Dragon. You can craft one, in a workbench, with 3 units of Sticks and 3 units of Lanyard.

You will then only need one arrow, as you will have to enchant the bow with Infinity, a bonus that allows you not to consume arrows from your quiver every time you shoot one. But I’ll tell you about this in the next chapter. You can, however, read other useful information on bows, enchantments and types of arrows in my guide on how to make a bow.

Enchant weapons and armor

Diamond equipment is not enough to face the fight with the End Dragon. You will have to enchant him with bonuses that grant you greater resistance and more power to your weapons. For this reason, it is important that you build a Spell Table.

This tool is very useful for crafting Spellbooks that can give bonuses to equipment. But let’s go in order. First, you need to create a Spell Table, using 1 unit of Book, 2 units of Diamond and 4 units of Obsidian. You can in any case learn more about this tool by consulting my guide on how to make a table in Minecraft.

As for the creation of Spellbooks, however, I refer you to what I have already explained to you in my guide on how to make a book on Minecraft, in which I told you in detail about how to create these books and how to infuse them on objects, using an ‘ Anvil.

Among the bonuses you can apply to your gear, I recommend Sword Sharpness, which adds faster attack speed and more damage per hit. As for the bow, on the other hand, you definitely have to apply Infinity, an essential bonus so that you don’t have to consume arrows. Without the latter, it is essential to make a lot of them.

Finally, for armor, the Protection bonus is useful, which increases armor points, as well as adding a reduction in the damage received.

Making potions

In addition to the equipment, intended as weapons and armor, it is certainly useful to prepare potions that can help you increase your chances of survival during the discount with the End Dragon.

Before embarking on this enterprise, however, you must reach the Nether, a hellish dimension alternative to OverWorld, where you must recover precious resources. Don’t know how to get there? I told you about it in detail in my guide on how to make the Nether portal.

Generally speaking, you need the Rod of Blaze and the Nether Wart. The first, which you can get by defeating the Blaze, is used to craft an Alembic, the essential tool for creating potions and also to obtain the fuel useful to start the alchemical processes. The Nether Wart, on the other hand, is an easily identifiable plant in the Nether that is used as a reagent in potions.

To craft an Alembic you need 1 unit of Blaze Rod and 3 units of Crushed Stone. Next, you will need to make Vials using 3 units of Glass. Using a Cruet of Water (after interacting with a Cruet on a block of water) and a Nether Wart, you’ll get a Strange Potion, which is the basis of most Minecraft potions.

At this point, you need to add more reagents to the Strange Potion, so that you can get some useful combat potions. The ones I recommend you take with you are the Cure one, for which you need a Shiny Watermelon Slice, the Regeneration Slice, for which a Ghast Tear is essential, and finally the Strength one, which you get using the Powder of Blaze (obtainable from Blaze’s Rod ).

Access the End

After you have everything you need for this new adventure, it is time to head towards the End, the alternate dimension where you will have to face the Dragon of the End. To do this you will need a portal, which you will need to activate using the Eyes of Ender.

As for accessing this portal, my advice is to carefully read all the information I gave you in my guide on how to find the End portal. If you play in Creative mode, you can also build your own. How? Following the tips I gave you in my guide on how to build the End portal.

Fighting the End Dragon

After you arrive in the End, you will find yourself on a platform, through which you can easily reach the large island suspended in the void, where the Dragon of the End is present. The mechanics of the combat are as follows: it is important to first make sure you keep the Endermen at bay using the Golems and, at the same time, destroy the crystals that are on top of the obelisks arranged in a circle.

These crystals continuously heal the dragon, preventing you from dealing damage to it. Using the bow, try to aim for the tops of these obelisks, in order to hit the crystals. For some of these it may be necessary to erect a ladder so that you can climb or use blocks to climb.

I warn you that the End Dragon can demolish any block except obsidian. Also, don’t rush into destroying the crystals, as you can take advantage of the fact that they can inflict damage on the Dragon as they heal and destroy them in the meantime. You will have to destroy all the crystals before starting the actual fight.

The End Dragon will attempt to execute various attacks on you: it will throw itself at you, spit fire at you and throw fireballs at you. You will need to use the bow to inflict as much damage on him as possible and use the healing potions and food to survive.

When you defeat him, you will get a large amount of experience, as well as a Dragon Egg. In addition, a portal will open for you through which you can visit the outer ring of islands that are very distant from the one you are on. Reaching this area will allow you to face new adventures and find new objects, such as the Elite, useful for flying in Minecraft.

By entering, however, the other portal that you find in the center of the island, you can return to the OverWorld. First, however, you will be shown the end-game credits. Compliments! You just finished Minecraft! Later, you can return to explore the world of this video game and also visit its parallel dimensions, such as the Nether and the End.
