How to fight the dragon

Tonight I learned how to fight the dragon in #Minecraft.

Preparation

Nice to have:

• armor with protection
• bow with power
• sword with sharpening
• stength/health/regen potions
• pumpkin head
• snowballs

Must have:

• golden apple, speed potion,
• pickaxe, bow, arrows, sword & shield, armor
• stack of dirt/cobblestone, buckets of water, ladders

I proceeded to The End. I picked a fight with a dragon and its pesky posse of ender men (pumpkin head helps). I learned to:

• dodge the purple dragon breath
• dodge or block dragon dives with the sheild
• destroy crystals
  • with bow or snowballs for shorter towers
  • for taller towers, dump water at tower base, climb with ladder, then break crystal and fall into water
• with a sword strike dragon's feet when it sits on the pillar of bedrock
• use looted ender pearls to teleport dodge

In The End, I died.
