The healing crystal is an animated block that can be found in the End.
Contents
Obtaining
When mined, a naturally spawned healing crystal explodes and drops nothing. A healing crystal placed by the player drops itself when mined, however it does not explode.
Natural Generation
The healing crystal generates on top of the obsidian towers in the end.
Crafting
Healing crystals are crafted using a diamond and eight ender gems. This makes them quite difficult to obtain, as the player needs to have gone to the End.
Usage
Healing crystals found in the End heal the ender dragon. It is possible to destroy a naturally spawned healing crystal by hitting it or throwing a spear, bone shuriken, or any other projectile at it. When destroyed, it causes an explosion. Not destroying all of the healing crystals makes fighting in the boss battle harder, because the ender dragon can constantly heal.
When placed, they can heal the player, though they have a limited range of about 3 blocks.
