Defeating The ENDER DRAGON! in Hardcore Minecraft 1.19 (#10)

Hey guys j-wisp here and welcome back to hardcore minecraft here we are back in our beautiful world and i’m super excited to be back today it’s been a while since the last episode just because i was sick for a little bit with uh the you-know-what and i lost my voice

For a while so i wasn’t able to record but we’re back so if you watched the last episode things were pretty crazy because we went to the nether and exploded 10 000 pieces of tnt and from that tnt we got a ton of netherrite now unfortunately to turn all this another

Scrap into netherred ingots i need a ton of gold so i really want to work on a gold farm however that gold form needs to be made at a very high y level in the nether and i’m a little scared of doing that just because i don’t want to fall

And die so what we’re going to do today is take on the ender dragon so we can hopefully defeat the dragon and then get ourselves an elytra from the end city so if i head over here we have a chest with all of the materials i want to take on

The dragon of course we have the ender pearls and blaze powder to make eyes of ender we have cobblestone just to build up and destroy the towers if we need to a water bucket just to keep us safe from fall damage and also to keep us away from endermen some torches which will

Allow us to pick up the dragon egg and then of course slow falling potions now a lot of people always ask me in my videos how do you make slow falling potions so of course step number one get your water bottles in the brewing stand power up with some blaze powder

And first you want to start with nether wart after nether wart you have your awkward potion and you’re gonna use phantom membranes now phantoms are really easy to kill the only annoying part is you have to purposefully stay awake for many many days at a time to

Get them to spawn so i usually just afk for a while and let them spawn and boom you have your slow falling potions so now what i usually do is just take a piece of redstone and what you can do is take these slow falling potions that

Last a minute and 30 seconds and turn them into slow falling potions that last four minutes so besides that one more step i want to do is go into our chest here take some netherred ingots and we’re going to make all of my armor netherright just for some extra

Protection now i don’t have my best or favorite armor that i want for this world just yet but we’re pretty close what i want is a few different sets some that will provide me fire protection so that will provide me blast protection if i want to take on the weather but boom

There we go we got cover me and debris now i think that’s about it i’m not going to make my sword nether right just because i don’t have uh i don’t have sharpness 5 yet but do that pretty soon so now the only thing we need to do is

Make our way to the stronghold and take on the dragon so i’m only going to make eyes of ender as i need them but let’s see what direction oh perfect we need to go in this direction what direction does it mean to go about north east mostly

East and as you can see we’re on day 371 so we’ve survived many many days in hardcore minecraft so if you guys are enjoying this series so far make sure to leave a like subscribe and all that good stuff i really do appreciate it and it

Helps me out a lot i definitely am pretty nervous to take on the dragon just because this world has been absolutely amazing so far and i don’t want to lose it but i feel like we’re pretty well prepared the two main threats when fighting the dragon are

Fall damage from when the dragon knocks you up in the air but we have slow falling potions and enderman now to combat the enderman we could easily place a pumpkin on her head but i prefer the extra protection from having an actual helmet if enderman do start to

Swarm me that’s why i have the water bucket which i’ll just place down right beneath me in my spot and it’ll prevent the enderman from getting too close to me while i take them out i also did some enchanting and i was lucky enough to get myself an infinity bow now it didn’t

Have much power and i didn’t really feel like enchanting more bows but infinity is still nice to have you’d be surprised how much xp i got from smelting all those pieces of ancient debris it was absolutely insane what i also want to do though is we’re not too far from having

A netherripe beacon so i think in every single episode i’m going to try to explode a lot of tnt until we can eventually get ourselves the nether because i mean come on that’s the ultimate flex in minecraft we have to do it i still have tons and tons of sand

And gunpowder from before so i think we’ll have enough resources to make it happen we’ll just have to eventually defeat the wither which is gonna be a little bit scary okay so i actually haven’t had to walk too far only like a thousand blocks but i’m at the point where okay

Previously i threw an ender pearl and it just sort of went down let’s let’s try oh oh oh not mr creeper no thank you okay let’s try here ah here we go okay so the inner pearls are starting to go down so we have to be

Pretty dang close to the portal so i’m just going to start digging down i guess let’s grab this and try to make ourselves a tunnel downwards man i really don’t want to die during this fight i can already feel my heart pumping happen the adrenaline i’m getting i’m ready

Also ever since the new caves and cliffs update you know since they’ve expanded the y level of the world i’m not sure the y levels in which a stronghold can spawn if it’s still the same or if it can spawn anywhere from you know y

60 or whatever all the way down to y level negative 64. i’m not sure okay there’s lava popping so i’m using the subtitles to try to find the direction okay maybe not that way oh i didn’t even realize i dug out a cave and there’s hello so much just happened i don’t know

What’s going on but i think that was two separate creeper explosions thankfully we have pretty good armor so they didn’t do too much to us but uh that was scary let’s see oh okay what direction did it go i think it went down there so we still

Got to be close to the stronghold let’s see it could potentially be down here let’s get our water bucket in here just in case we need it for fall damage and try to find this place okay it’s not down here oh my gosh oh i love axolotls they’re so cute i wish i

Could take them home i should have brought some extra water buckets throw another eye of ender okay we’ve still got to be going downwards which what’s our level at okay we’re at y16 so we’re getting pretty low so i guess strongholds can spawn pretty low now oh

Here we go this might help we’ve got a big big cave okay let’s use our water bucket and see if this can help us get close to it let’s also throw a pearl oh nope okay not over there so we’ve got to go in that direction oh oh oh oh here we go

I heard okay i saw the stone brick simultaneously as i heard the silver fish so that means we’re close and thankfully we made it we’ve just got to be careful because i don’t want i don’t want to get ganged up on by a bunch of silver fish

That’s the last thing i want right now but finally we found it oh wait are we at oh okay well actually let’s just break this that was a it’s pretty easy but i want to explore a little bit of the stronghold first it can’t be that easy for us

Okay come on this is just rude okay what’s our portal situation oh no way look at this perfect we had just enough eyes oh i love that okay um let’s go should we explore a bit of this or should we just take it on i don’t know i feel like we should at

Least like exp okay um oh i guess we were just lucky and found a little subset of this so i guess we’ll explore it later on i guess i should just get myself mentally prepared for this fight and we can take on the dragon okay everyone i think i’m ready i’m

Scared but i’m ready so we’re gonna pop a slow falling potion first off get our blocks just in case and head in oh okay oh oh oh okay uh let’s actually get some enterprise on our inventory just in case we fall or anything like that uh we do have slow

Falling show it should be able to at least help us a little bit there we go okay so dragon fight here we go now at this point because of youtube i’ve defeated the dragon hundreds of times but that still doesn’t make it any less scary especially in hardcore having

To take on the dragon instead of our blocks let’s use our water bucket come on can we get it oh we’re close come on come on please yes i want to see if i can get the rest of the towers from up here at least the ones without the cages

Oh oh oh we gotta run well uh float i guess Oh no my water my water’s still up there okay wait i think i think we can get it hold on can we just swim back up oh perfect look at this ah perfect okay anyways where were we okay we got all the towers without the

Cages so now we just have to get the ones with the cages i’ve also got to make sure to uh keep an eye on how much snow falling i have left because for a second i jumped off there and got kind of scared the juxtaposition between my graceful

Floating and this intense dragon flight is beautiful okay but anyways there we go so before we fight the dragon pop one more slow falling potion i also want to make sure to at least save enough for uh the big old end city raid we have coming

On but here we go it’s just time to take on the dragon thankfully we’ve got infinity so i’ll take out as much as i can without worrying about uh running out of air oh my shots are on point today but i’m not gonna worry about running out of arrows and then we can

Take out the rest of the dragon’s help with our sword come on dragon here we go oh yes yes this is lovely okay dang the dragon’s already at half health who knew this would be a breeze okay honestly this might be it let’s see we might be able to take on the dragon

Completely here okay we have two minutes left for slow falling and let’s let’s see if we can do it oh dang that was easy okay let’s take on a golden apple just to do it and yeah okay let’s take some screenshots that might have been the easiest dragon fight

Yet that i’ve had if i’m being honest that was just pretty quick but you know i prepared as much as i could because i was taking no risks and hardcore and we have lots of beautiful glorious xp let’s also grab the egg really fast so this is what we have to do

Dig i guess i didn’t even need to bring torches because there’s torches here but dig down two blocks underneath the egg like this place our torch break the block under the egg and boom we have it i want to build some sort of like um i don’t know

Some sort of pretty area in my world to showcase the dragon egg i might use some encity blocks i think that would be a cool idea and it should look pretty nice so now that we officially beat the game in hardcore minecraft on day 372

Let’s see if we can raid some end cities and uh get ourselves an elytra obviously the loot from n cities is pretty awesome but the electro is the main thing i’m looking for here because that’s gonna really save me from lots and lots of potential fall damage from

Building a gold farm plus one of the gold farm designs i want to do uh also doubles as an xp farm so we might not even have to make our classic enderman xp farm now let’s be very careful here i want to make sure i build a little bit

Of a platform just in case my ender pearl misses and then we can boom oh and we did it okay perfect so here’s what i like to do i want to move my render distance up all the way just to potentially load in all the potential

Chunks it might cause a little bit of lag but thankfully if you have optifine or like me anything else like sodium that can help increase fps and improve rendering uh we can hopefully find some end cities sometimes i get really lucky and find an end city the second i spawn

In but sometimes truthfully i’ve done five and a half hour live streams where i was only able to find one end city that entire time really just depends see now here is where i should have brought a pumpkin i didn’t think about that because here i’m always triggering

Enderman to fight me but uh oh was that an end city i think that’s an end city now here’s the thing just because we find an entity does not mean we’re in luck because elytra is only spawn in the end cities that have a ship and not all end cities have a ship

I think it’s about one in three end cities heaven and ship i’m not sure if that’s exact math but uh it’s pretty close so i’m crossing my fingers and let’s hope there’s a ship but i don’t see one yeah this end city does not have a ship unfortunately but we’ll still uh

We’ll still check it out we just have to bridge over and be careful here’s what i’m gonna do just in case in case we start to fall we’re gonna use a slow falling potion and then it’ll give me a little bit of extra time to use an ender

Pearl if i have to my pinky is holding the shift button for dear life right now boom we did it okay so here’s an in-city no but you know it’s pretty small but we still could potentially get some good loot and of course of course i want my beautiful beautiful shulker boxes

Dang not a single chest in this entire end city just some annoying shulkers that only dropped me two shells but uh okay now it’s time where did we come from where’s our cobblestone is it over here okay there’s our cobblestone so i think do i want to continue heading in this direction

I don’t see any end cities i guess we’re just gonna pearl and build from island island and try to find an end city with a ship could take me a few minutes could take me a few hours so uh wish me luck is that it is that my saving grace yes it

Is think oh thank the minecraft gods thankfully that didn’t take me too long to find this but i definitely have been walking for uh for quite a while so i’m glad i’m glad we found it and it’s a pretty big end city at that it’s not a small

One this is a big boy okay let’s pearl over there and here we go yes okay i’m not even really worried about the loot from the end city i just want my electra oh and look at that there’s a portal right next to it off hell this is a beautiful day

Today is a beautiful day does anyone else really love this little like parkour tower that’s in all of the end cities i think they’re super fun and also this place in the big end cities where you just get to be floated up to the top taking out the shockers on

The way i think it’s fun i like it let me know what you guys think of them down in the comments below if i could actually take any of them out but first we’re going for my elytra anything good in this chest oh what efficiency 4 on breaking and mending

Well now i can get mending and efficiency 5 on my pickaxe okay okay uh let’s also use our silk touch oh oh that was close i was gonna say let’s use our silk touch and get ourselves that ender chest because i haven’t made

One yet oh i got it okay so now time for our electro let’s also do another slow falling potion just in case just to be extra extra safe oh i have one ender pearl left perfect okay let’s just float our way over there at this point okay so the dragon head

Boom we got him look at us look at us Yeah and now for the main event boom the elytra oh look at this chest oh my gosh okay we’ve had some pretty good luck today uh i’ll take that i guess i’ll take that too it’s got mending so hey it’s fun to have let’s use the ender chest for now

And plop some of this stuff in there so now let’s just raid the rest of this end city really fast and then we can be on our way let’s get one of these uh bloaty moments here we go we can gracefully slow fall back down and get more loot

Okay not as good of a chest but hey still pretty fun okay well i just checked our inner chest and we got eight shulker shells total so far which is pretty good but i’d like to maybe leave with a couple more let’s see okay well we successfully did it so

We’re gonna take our last ender pearl here and make our way back to the overworld and here we are back i actually haven’t really spent much time in my house but uh here we are that was super fun though i mean hey we got a lot

Of good stuff let’s go back to our storage room we’ll place the ender chest down and sort of get a recap of everything we got ah yes look at this look at the seven diamonds 30 pieces of iron plus fire protection mending chess play you know fire protection mending pants

Uh we’ve also got some cool pickaxes so let’s use our anvil efficiency four and breaking three same thing here and boom we officially have the best pickaxe we can get so we can make one more piece of our armor set another right which is pretty cool oh we can also do

Our shovel but i want to get oh you know what we can get mending on it with a book what am i trying to do why am i using that hold on one more ingot we’re going to use the smithing table not the anvil boom and

Boom there we go look at us go dang i’m proud of us also both of these are efficiency threes so let’s bump this up to efficiency four but yeah for now i’m going to leave all these drops just in this chest so we can organize them later make sure it’s all

Uh you know properly organized but i think that was a pretty successful end battle and we got a lot of really fun things now for the elytra we obviously need a lot of firework rockets and we do have sir reginald the fancy creeper automatic creeper gunpowder farm so we

Have enough gunpowder we just need to make ourselves a sugar cane farm to get all the paper but anyways guys i think that is all for today’s episode i really hope you enjoyed it and honestly it felt really good to be back i haven’t been able to record in like two weeks because

I’ve been sick my voice was totally gone which my voice might sound a little weird but at least i’m back so if you enjoyed consider leaving a like subscribing all that good stuff and let me know what else you want to see me do in this world i have some really fun

Really big build projects planned hence why we needed the elijah but i’m super excited so that’s all for today’s episode my name is j wisp and i’ll see you guys all in the next one
