Beat the Ender Dragon on Normal with a split-timed, smarter battle plan.

A new world, a new dragon, and on Normal it hits harder. Beat it faster and smarter, with the clock running.

  • New skill Speed-fighting the Ender Dragon
  • Level 9 · Ultimate Survival
  • Difficulty Advanced
  • Mode Survival
  • Time 30–60 min
  • Ages 13+

What you’ll build

Plan your crystal route around the pillars, set your respawn with an Overworld bed and jump into the End with your teammate. Take out the crystals, shoot the dragon in flight, rush it when it perches, then stop the clock and write down every split.

Finish line: You've beaten the Ender Dragon on Normal and written down a split time for every phase.

Bonus challenge: Claim the dragon egg with a piston push: it pops off as an item, no teleporting. Then plan the next run: which split could lose 30 seconds?

You’ll need

  • A bow and lots of arrows
  • Your best armour
  • Food
  • A water bucket
  • Slow Falling potions
  • A family member or friend

You choose

  • Our strike team's name
  • Our target time to beat: ___ min
  • Our secret weapon (Slow Falling, Strength, a water bucket…)

Stuck?

  • Never use a bed in the End. It explodes. Set your respawn in the Overworld before you go.
  • Don't shoot near endermen or look straight at them. They'll join the fight.
  • Step back when the dragon breathes purple. That cloud hurts, so wait for it to fade.
