6. Stand your ground and repeat until you've knocked the dragon's health down to
zero. Then stand by for a striking purple-strobed explosion of splendid proportion
(see Figure 12.13 ).
FIGURE 12.13 The final moments of the Ender Dragon.
Congratulations! Notch yourself up as a dragon slayer, because you've just defeated the
toughest mob in Minecraft! Enjoy the spectacle—it's probably been a long time coming
and is over far too fast.
Watch for a portal to appear directly beneath the dragon's last position as soon as the fire-
works finish. It will have a dragon egg perched atop—a shrine, if you like, to the dragon's
defeat, or a celebration of your victory. Maybe both?
Before you take the fast route home by jumping into the portal, stop to pick up the numer-
ous experience orbs dropped by the dragon. You'll collect up to 70 XP levels. You can also
keepthepumpkinhelmetonandstartwailingonEndermentogatherexperience,butyou'll
need to do so without the pumpkin for them to drop Ender pearls. You can always return
through any stronghold portal to do that later.
