If you ever need to fight the ender dragon again, do not worry, there is a mechanic in place to allow you to respawn the ender dragon. It is relatively simple and as long as you recall where your end portal was, you can easily do it with just a few materials. The fight itself is not any easier, so be prepared. Use the best armor and weapons that you can muster and consider using potion buffs or golden apples to make the fight go by easier. This guide will go over the required materials to respawn the ender dragon, how to respawn the ender dragon, and how to make and use end crystals.
Required Materials to Respawn the Ender Dragon
- 28 Glass
- 4 Ghast Tears
- 4 Eyes of Ender
In order to spawn the Ender Dragon, you will need to craft 4 end crystals and place them in the correct spots. To make an end crystal you need 7 glasses, 1 ghast tear, and 1 eye of ender, meaning you will need 28 glasses, 4 ghast tears, and 4 eyes of ender anytime you want to respawn the ender dragon. The eyes of the ender are made with an ender pearl and ablaze powder. Ghast tears are relatively rare drops from ghasts. Finally, you can cook glass in a furnace by cooking sand.
Steps to Make End Crystals
First, let’s gather the materials for the end crystals. Start by gathering some ender pearls found from endermen. This is a relatively rare drop, but if you are looking to respawn the ender dragon, you should have access to the end, making obtaining the ender pearls much easier.
Once you have your ender pearls, combine them with blaze powder to make the eye of the ender. Next, you will need some ghast tears. Head to the nether and ready your bow and arrows. Try to hunt ghasts that are floating above land so their drops do not fall into a lava pool.
Ghasts can drop gunpowder and ghast tears, of these two the ghast tears are rarer. Keep at it until you have 4 ghast tears to work with. Next, you just need to smelt some glass. Dig up some sand and cook it in a furnace to get the required components for your end crystals.
Once you have 28 glasses, you can get started on making your 4 end crystals. To make an end crystal combine 7 glasses, 1 ghast tear, and 1 eye of ender to make an end crystal.
Combine all your materials to make end crystals. Once you have 4 end crystals you are ready to respawn the ender dragon. End crystals can only be placed on bedrock or obsidian, if you end up accidentally placing one, you will need to make another as there is no way to reobtain them.
How to Respawn the Ender Dragon
In a Nutshell:
To Respawn the Ender Dragon in Minecraft requires making four end crystals. These end crystals are what causes the Ender Dragon to receive healing. Simply placing one end crystal on each side of the exit portal, will cause the Ender Dragon to respawn.
Once you have your four end crystals you can head into the end and place them in the middle-most block on each side of your end portal.
Once you place your fourth end crystal a short animation will play and the ender dragon will respawn. Each of the towers will come equipped with its respective end crystal and you can experience the fight again. Before you respawn the ender dragon, ensure that you have obtained your dragon egg. If you kill the ender dragon without grabbing your dragon egg, it will be destroyed.
Once you have placed the last crystal beams of light will shoot towards each of the pillars until the last end crystal has formed. After the crystals shoot a beam up into the sky a small explosion happens near the center, where the end portal resides, and the ender dragon will spawn. At this point, the end portal will disappear and you will need to defeat the ender dragon if you want safe passage back home.
It is relatively simple to respawn the ender dragon. If you had gone out to search for a stronghold, chances are you have a few eyes of ender left over. The ghast tears may take some time to collect, but once you have the eyes of the ender and the ghast tears, most of the work is already taken care of. Just place the end crystals on the middle-most slot of your end portal and you can respawn the ender dragon.
Conclusion
Congratulations, you now know how to respawn the ender dragon. The ender dragon is an exciting fight in Minecraft, and if you want to relive it you can do so through in-game mechanics without exploiting anything. Fighting the ender dragon again is a good source of dragon’s breath. Try to remember to bring some glass bottles with you so that you can make lingering potions.
