Ender Dragon
The ender dragon is the boss mob in Mine Blocks.
Spawning
The ender dragon spawns naturally only once in the End, the first time the player enters it. As of 1.28 it is possible to spawn it in the Overworld and in the Nether with the command /give spawn_egg 1 0 {type: "ender dragon"}
Drops
The ender dragon drops 60 dragon scales and the experience she drops is worth 40 levels.
Behavior
The dragon has two attacks. One is a charge attack, where the dragon tries to charge at at the player. She does about three hearts of damage. The other attack is the dragon spitting out an explosive flame wave. That does about one heart for each of the small fireballs the wave consists of. The dragon has 127 hearts. She can destroy anything but obsidian, obsidian backdrop, bedrock, enderstone, and ender gem ore.
Death
Once the dragon is killed, her death animation is played, during which she drops dragon scales and experience. A portal to the overworld is generated as well as a chest, which contains 16 diamonds and the ender dragon egg, which is unobtainable in any other way.

Trivia
- The Ender dragon is the boss that is believed to be the ultimate challenge in the game, making killing her "completion of the game" to many.
- The Ender dragon is female, because she drops the ender dragon egg.
- The Ender dragon can be healed by healing crystals. Destroying the healing crystal while the Ender dragon is healing harms the dragon due to the resulting explosion
