What I did on my first fight with the ender dragon was bring full iron armour and a really good bow and sword with my friends but we all ended up dying and all our loot got burnt so we beat the ender dragon using stone swords
I speedran the game in 2.5 hours by first obtaining iron tools and armour and food and then just killing the ender dragon

I didn’t beat it until I had Netherite gear. I died a few times trying to beat it for the first time. But ultimately I took a bunch of Slow Falling potion with me, stacked my way on to the towers to take out the crystals, and mostly beat it with my bow. If I was on the ground I’d hit it’s tail with my sword as much as I could.

I threw snowballs at it until it gave up. Can’t fight the collared dog skin with 10,000 snowballs and a bucket of water no armor.

I go in full diamond fully enchanted protection 4 gear with feather falling 4 boots and a sharpness 5 diamond sword and power 5 bow and bring loads of ender pearls to quickly reach the ground and take less fall damage if I get launched high. If you’re with a group you may only need iron armor but make sure you all have feather falling 4. Make sure you’re stocked up on healing items.
Use bows to shoot down the crystals healing the dragon and ender pearls to get to the ones in cages. Use a pickaxe to break in and destroy the crystals. Use ender pearls to reach the ground faster and take minimal fall damage after destroying it or if you get knocked off. Avoid the dragon’s breath attacks. One of them is a ball which the dragon shoots at you which splashes an area on the ground and lingers and deals a lot of damage. The other it does while it’s perched where it sprays particles that also do a lot of damage and linger for a bit.
Seriously the two deadliest things in the dragon fight in my experience are fall damage and breath attacks. If you can avoid those for the most part you’re golden. If you take a little damage from those or damage from other sources it can be reduced with iron or diamond armor to where it can be brushed off with healing.

Run around, wait for it to land, wack it, rinse and repeat.

I hit it until its health bar was down to zero.

I knew I would be fighting the dragon but I had no idea what to expect. My friends told me they struggled as a group. I waaay over prepared and killed it relatively easily

It’s super easy nowadays with slow-falling potions. Brew 3 of them, make them extended and as long as you have it active, it makes the dragon attacks a joke, just don’t stand in the dragon’s breath.

Jokes on you after 8 years of playing this game I never beat him fairly

We used to get together about a week after a new world starts on the server. We would take raw cod and slap the dragon to death. Ah, easier times, I miss them so

That’s the neat part! I didn’t!
I’m playing since 1.8 came out, and still, I haven’t slain the ender dragon once! But in my defense, I am a builder and explorer, not a fighter.

Just shy of four stacks of dire, an obsidian block, a water bucket, four stacks of arrows, and a bow.

Lots of scaffolding. Cheap to make, easy to carry and place….very very simple.

I one cycle to show off to my realm mates. Theres maps that automate everything for practicing that you can download and put in your saves folder if you wanna learn

Shoot it when it’s flying and hit its head from underneath when it’s perched. It’s actually quite easy.

Full iron with a bucket of water and a lot of blocks, that’s a lot more than enough if you know what you’re doing in the fight.

I lower his health until it’s dead.
