Hostility Level (Hostile)

An ender dragon is a hostile mob. The termÂ mobÂ is short forÂ mobileÂ and is used to refer to all living, moving creatures in the game such as chickens, creepers, and ender dragons. Because an ender dragon is a hostile mob, it will attack you in Survival mode but not Creative mode.

Health Points

In Minecraft, an ender dragon is a boss mob. When this mob spawns naturally in the End dimension, it has a purple health bar that goes down as it takes damage. When the purple health bar is depleted, the ender dragon will die.

Â for health. This gives an ender dragon 200 health points (because 1 heart = 2 health points). To kill an ender dragon, you need to inflict 200 points of damage to the ender dragon.

The ender dragon will heal itself by flying close to ender crystals. In the End, ender crystals can be found on top of obsidian pillars.

TIP:Â It is a good idea to destroy all of the ender crystals before attacking an ender dragon so that it can not heal itself.

Where to Find Ender Dragons

Ender dragons are only found in theÂ End dimension.
