Weaknesses: The Ender Crystals can easily be destroyed

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Circling: The dragon begins in this state: it circles the ring of obsidian pillars on either the outside if there are still End crystals or the inside if the crystals are destroyed. With each crystal's destruction, there is an increased chance of the dragon switching states.
  • Targeting: Whenever the dragon finds itself less than 10 blocks or greater than 150 blocks from its current target, it attempts to choose a new target. When damaged it targets a point just behind itself, causing it to turn away and choose a new target.
• Strafing: Upon the destruction of an End crystal, the dragon immediately switches to this state to fire a fireball at them. The dragon targets a player within 64 blocks of the central exit portal structure. As soon as it is flying within 64 blocks of the player, it shoots a fireball at the player. The dragon resumes circling after this state.
• Diving: The dragon dives onto the target player's position, taken at the start of the dive. The dragon resumes circling after this state, whether or not it actually hit the player.
• Perching: The dragon goes to the exit portal structure (approaching from the side opposite the player if possible) and lands on the highest block of the coordinates (x=0, z=0). The dragon is immune to arrows in this state (they all catch fire and bounce off).
  • Dragon's Breath: After 1.25 seconds, if a player is within 20 blocks of the exit portal structure, the dragon roars and use its 3-second breath attack, damaging players similarly to a lingering potion of Harming. The purple clouds emitted from the dragon's breath attack can be collected in an empty bottle to obtain dragon's breath.
  • Charge: If the player is not near the portal within 5 seconds of the dragon's landing, it charges at players within 150 blocks.
  • Take-off: After four consecutive breath attacks, or if the dragon fails to locate a player within 150 blocks, it takes off from its perch. The dragon resumes circling after this state.
  • Escape: If cumulative damage taken while perched exceeds 50♥ × 25, the dragon takes off and resets the damage accumulator. The accumulator is not reset if it does not take enough damage. The dragon resumes circling after this state.
