Minecraft Survival: The End

Now that you've become a master at the art of survival there is on test left on the board for you. The End is essentially the last part of any journey. But, getting there is not so easy.

The End is known as a "terrifying spit of land in the middle of a space-like dimension known as the Void" (Milton 42). Once you defeat the boss, which is the Ender Dragon, you'll be rewarded with its egg; a trophy that lets you know you defeated it. You'll need eye of enders (crafted with ender pearls and blaze powders) to find your way to the strong hold where the ender portal is. The Eye of Enders will keep on moving and eventually drop (Milton 42). Once you have found the strong hold you will need 12 more eye of enders to activate the portal. Once you enter the portal, there's no going back, until you have slain the Ender Dragon or you have been slain. Be cautious with you decision!

An example of a Ender Portal

Once there The Ender Dragon's health bar can be seen at the top of your screen. You are tasked with destroying the ender crystals at the top of the pillars, because they give the Ender Dragon its health. You can use your bow for that, since its the easiest way. Enderman can also be found in The End, so be careful.

The hard part is to slay the Ender Dragon. Use you bow to inflict damage since, its main method of attack is to swoop and dive at you. Be wary of the Dragon's health bar. Your success depends on it to be empty.

If you've made it this far and defeated the Ender Dragon, then you have done it! You can successfully accomplish anything in the world of Minecraft. Once the credits are over, you'll be taken back to the Overworld. I hope your success will continue in the right direction!
