Q&A for How to Beat Minecraft

It's best if you bring an enchanted diamond sword, an enchanted bow, several stacks of arrows, enchanted diamond armor, plenty of food, and health potions for you and/or detrimental splash potions for the dragon. For the weapons and armor, anything that increases durability and lethality is best.

To retrieve the egg, cover the portal with dirt. Use a piston to push the egg off the podium and it will drop and then you can collect it.

To get lots of Ender eyes, just kill a lot of blazes and endermen and then combine blaze powder with the pearls to make eyes.

It's a sandbox game, so no, that is the nearest you get to an actual end.

Do not try to engage in close-combat. Snipe from afar so you can kill the dragon without getting smashed to a pulp.

Make sure that you build it all while standing on the inside of the portal or it won't work. Next, grab the end portal box which is in the miscellaneous category. Build a 4x4 box and eliminate the corners. While standing inside, place eye of ender on each box. You are now finished. If you are in survival mode, you cannot enter back into the real world until you have defeated the ender dragon completely. Your portal is being guarded by the ender dragon.

You don't have to, but you can if you want to.

Hit him with a sword, or shoot him with a bow before he gets close.

No, because they are both enemies and will team up to fight you.

Yes, it usually is unless you are on another person's world and are unequipped to kill the Ender Dragon.

Not without mods, unfortunately.

I don't think that's considered winning, but yes, it's very easy to beat the Ender Dragon and the Wither in creative mode.

If in 1.9 or newer, then place 4 end crystals (made from glass, ender eyes and ghast tears) on the sides of the portal in the middle.

Yes, you use the Eyes of Ender and throw them. The Eyes of Ender will fly toward the stronghold.

The Ender Dragon was confirmed to be female, as said in Step One of Method Five.

Try to hit it. It will teleport onto the end stone. Then dig down three blocks next to the dragon egg and dig toward the egg one block. In this one block space place a torch. Now break the blocks that the egg is sitting on and the egg will fall onto the torch and break like sand or gravel. Finally you can collect the egg.

It will not hatch a ender dragon, but you could put it somewhere and pretend its a trophy for defeating the ender dragon.

Be patient. It will always eventually go to the ground.

End crystals heal the dragon after it is damaged, so you break them to prevent that.

Using an enchanted sword and bow is best in my opinion. Also, be sure to bring lots of golden apples and a few healing potions. If you are pretty advanced, use a bed to explode and deal damage to the Ender dragon.

Unfortunately, you cannot hatch a dragon egg.

Because it is impossible in survival mode. You can only do it in creative mode.

You can collect blocks and items to decorate your base, and you'll need wither skeleton skulls and soul sand to spawn the wither. Once killed, it will drop the nether star to craft a beacon. But otherwise, no.

Yes. You can spawn the wither to Minecraft PS3 by placing soul sand in a "T" shape and placing three wither skeleton heads on it.

In some mods, you can tame it.

Biomes don't matter when it comes to the location of the Stronghold, you can find it in the middle of the ocean!

If you don't spawn the Ender dragon again using end crystals, you don't have to defeat it again.

Put the bow back in the slot that you put items you want to enchant, and then grab another potion or enchantment book. When the enchanted weapon/tool's icon shows up, move the cursor (arrow) and left-click.

It is in the 'miscellaneous' tab.

Yes, strongholds are found only in the Overworld, they cannot be found in other dimensions.
