End Crystals are Insanely OP in Minecraft

With just one end crystal you can kill a player with full netherride armor in minecraft learn that and much more in this minecraft video all about end crystals let’s check it out now end crystals are only one place naturally in minecraft and that is the towers of

Obsidian around the dragon in the ender dragon fight now you destroy these in the ender dragon fight which hurts the ender dragon and once you’ve destroyed all of them then you can start taking health out of it the reason why is that when the dragon is sort of attached to

One of the end crystals like this it’s actually drawing health from one of them so it regenerates one half heart every second that it is summoning power from those end crystals so you can technically kill it before destroying these but it just would be incredibly difficult as regenerating a half heart

Every second is very fast but what role does the end crystal have outside of the ender dragon fight so if you want to get the end crystal yourself you have to craft it but how do you craft it well interestingly enough you don’t actually have to go to the end to get the

Materials to craft the end crystal all you have to do is get blaze powder and an ender pearl use those together to craft an eye of ender then put that and a gas tier in the crafting grid just like this with the eye vendor in the

Middle there and the gas tier below it with seven glass surrounding it and that will give you the end crystal now once you have this item what do you actually do with it i mean you can try placing it down but it doesn’t place down you can

Throw it on the ground but other than kind of looking cool how do you actually use this item to use it you must place it down on either a piece of obsidian or a piece of bedrock now a piece of obsidian can of course be mined up and

Placed every different place you want so a piece of obsidian is probably your better option but you can place them on bedrock as well so just right click on the obsidian like this or on the bedrock and it will place it just like that it does look exactly

Like it does in the ender dragon fight with a couple differences that i’ll get into later but you can kind of see here it’s floating on the piece of obsidian if i turn on hit boxes you can see the hitbox of this item is actually about two by

Two meters or two blocks by two blocks there but it’s it’s centered in the middle of here so if we hit it even in the very corner here right there it would still explode because it’s hit box just so large now the biggest use of the end crystal is

This the fact that it’s completely deadly and is perfect for pvp and i’m gonna explain how to do end crystal pvp in fact one of the easiest ways of killing your opponent right now now of course that blast of the end crystal killed me with no armor on but what if

I’m wearing full netherrite armor where every single piece has blast protection four on it this is ideally the best kind of protection you can get against an explosion in the game well if we go up to it and right click we still die that’s with full netherright blast protection for

So how can you be protected from this crazy explosion you can also see a significant amount of damage was placed on this armor with just that one explosion you can survive the explosion in blast protection for armor but only if you’re a little bit away from it so for right

Here and we explode it like let’s say we go right here and we explode this we won’t die but we will be placed at one heart of health which i think is pretty bad considering you could be finished off very easily with let’s say a sword

Or an axe or some other weapon so definitely there’s not much you can do to protect yourself from end crystals this way but there is one way that you can protect yourself from end crystals so with the way that explosions give damage in minecraft the top half of the

Player doesn’t receive very much damage at all but the bottom half of the player receives most of the damage so if you can protect the bottom half of your player and have the top half still be exposed so that you can let’s say explode the end crystal then you can be

Safe from it let’s try that out right here if we put the end crystal right here let’s say we dig down quite a ways that we’re right here beneath it and we explode it it’s not actually going to give us almost any damage whatsoever even with most of our hearts gone here

If we go next to it but one block lower from it and explode it you can see it did take away a heart in half again this is with the blast protection 4 but it certainly did not kill us and if you have a very large amount of health

Already that’s not going to matter too much so it’s obviously quite a dangerous weapon but the problem is you have to place down a block then place down a block on top of it then right click and then the player could die from the damage but that’s a bit slow so there’s

Two things you can do to make this a little bit quicker of a death and also how you actually execute this kill with your end crystals so one of the most common places that people use n crystal pvp is on anarchy servers in anarchy servers there’s often very

Large areas where there’s no blocks that are even existent anymore except for the bedrock at the bottom of the world and because you can place end crystals on bedrock this makes it a super good place to kill players with end crystals as you don’t have to place down a block to

Explode it but if you’re not in an area where there’s exposed bedrock here’s what you basically want to do you only want to have one end crystal in your inventory so that if you do get killed by it yourself the player that grabs it cannot kill you with it later we have

Here some husks and full netherride armor as husks interestingly enough have the same amount of hp as the player and ideally what you’d want to do is you want to go up to the player close if they don’t think you’re pvping this would be a lot easier but if they do

Then you want to be very quick with this you want to right click then look up a little bit right click then you want to left click now obviously that itself is very slow that’s not really going to trick any players into getting killed by an end crystal

But what will is if you master this trick and do it incredibly quickly now i’m not going to do this very quickly but i’ll do it as quickly as i can you go up to your player right click right click left click like that that’s pretty fast you can notice there it didn’t

Actually hurt the player that much why is it well it’s because this piece of obsidian is blocking the damage because the damage is only on this top half of the player here so you want to watch out for that as well as ideally they could be near maybe some blocks that are lower

Down so let’s say that we have a little bit of an area that’s kind of like that or there’s some blocks a bit lower than the player that’s the perfect place to kill a player with the end crystals so you can just go up to them and you know

Just basically right click right click left click like this the only problem is you want to get lower than them so if you’re higher than them that’s obviously a bad thing because it’ll happen well they’ll die but you’ll also almost die yourself as well so what you want to do

Is you want to find the best place to kill your player and then you can get your own crystal and obsidian and you can simply right click right click left click like that and of course we had very low hp there so we died but generally we wouldn’t be dying in that

Situation and you could kill the other player easily alright so let’s try that out one time successfully also when you are trying to get a bit lower than the player to place your end crystal and so that you’re not killed by the blast as well if you find a place like this that’s

Really good where it’s a bit of a lower area already if not though if you do have a very quick shovel you can always dig some blocks down and place it down it just is more time so again ideally that wouldn’t work that well all right let’s try that out here go up

To the player right click right click left click like that the player was killed we lost literally half a heart and that was a full netherite armored player in terms of hp that’s how incredibly overpowered and crystal pvp really is and you can see it’s actually

Quite easy as well however there’s a lot more than just punching an end crystal that can explode it let’s go over what else you can do to destroy this item basically any single attack will destroy the item including ranged attacks so for instance a trident could destroy the end crystal

A snowball could destroy an end crystal so something basically no damage could destroy it like that of course a arrow from a bow and arrow can destroy an end crystal as we saw already a punch can destroy an end crystal but some things you think would destroy an end crystal

Don’t so for instance fireworks out of a firework crossbow like this actually do not destroy the end crystal and also being exactly where the end crystal is moving around at things like this that doesn’t destroy the end crystal either so for a pvp use let’s say that you have

A player that has to walk next to some end crystals or they don’t realize that the end crystal is there maybe you hide it somewhere you could have a mechanism where you kind of launch a projectile from far away like this and let’s say they’re next to it like that you could

Explode it there without having to worry about being lower than it and crystal pvp is a great way of using the n crystal but its intended feature is not actually as a pvp weapon in fact i think its only intended use in game is to re-summon the ender dragon that’s right

You can easily re-summon the enderdragon with just four end crystals just like that so that would require four gassed tears some glass and also four eyes of ender all you have to do is once you’ve defeated the ender dragon simply place an end crystal just like this four of

Them all around the end portal like that and once you’ve done that you will re-summon the ender dragon so you can see first of all your access here to the portal here is removed then these kind of blasting rays go to every single one of the pillars like

That and they basically have an explosion then they put a new end crystal there and once they’ve done that they all kind of go to the top like this in a really cool animation i think probably one of the coolest in the game it finishes going here to the last one

Now all of them kind of blast their power towards the top there and once i’ve done that for a little bit there we have the ender dragon someone with a lot of very loud noises in these animations and now we can basically re-fight the ender dragon however there are some

Differences so the first difference is you will not get another dragon egg when you defeat the center dragon so there’s only ever one dragon egg in the world unless of course you delete the actual file for the end another difference is that when you kill the ender dragon it

Will not give you the original insanely large amount of xp that it normally would in the ender dragon fight so that’s something good to note however every single time that you defeat the enderdragon you actually get a new end portal there is one right there and there are some other ones around here

Also if you just get more and more of them the more times you defeat the ender dragon they’ll also go to different places on the bit at the end you kind of teleport to on the edge of the end islands there so you can have access to

Lots of different areas as well so it can actually be a very good idea to respawn the ender dragon or re-summon it but the main reason for re-summoning it is because of these purple kind of fireballs that it shoots at you or the dragon’s breath because that gives you

Dragon’s breath so you can have bottles if you right-click on the dragon’s breath with bottles that will give you dragon’s breath bottles and those are incredibly useful for things like making tipteros link on the screen right now if you want to learn about that process in

The full now end crystals are placed on bedrock and obsidian but you can destroy the bedrock and obsidian under them and they will stay floating there normally well of course you can’t destroy the bedrock under them unless you’re in creative mode but either way you can have your end crystal just sitting there

We can even see the hitbox is literally just hovering in the air there you can log out log back in do anything you’d like and it will stay there it certainly does not need to be on the obsidian it just needs to be placed on the obsidian

And because of that you can make awesome end crystal displays and i’ll show you how to make one of those right now so one thing you can do is place down some blocks sort of like this just to make a base for your display then in the middle

Place a piece of obsidian like that surround this in some glass if you’d like or whatever you’d like really but of course glass is something that you’d want to use so you can see through it then place your end crystal here then you can put the top up with maybe

Some stairs like this some slabs whatever you’d really like but just something to make kind of a cool looking display case and place a solid block at the top there then once you have that you can keep it just like that it kind of looks cool but to make something

Looks really cool so you don’t have this tube look with the obsidian there you just have to dig down beneath it just like this a little bit it’s really not that difficult and once you’ve found your piece of obsidian below it there you can mine it out because again you

Can just mine these blocks they don’t need to be on the obsidian like that place some glass beneath it then place a piston facing upwards like that take a lever place it here and push the piece of glass up there then you can just break the piston here place a piece of

Glass here again place down your piston again make it go up again like that and just finish off by placing another brick here or whatever block you wanted to build your end crystal display case out of fill this up right here and when you

Look at it you can see we have that end crystal that’s completely submerged or kind of filled with the glass there with the blocks on top of it and below it and here’s what makes this so important we put on the hit box here you can notice the hitbox is completely surrounded in

The glass meaning that we can hit it with a trident just like this we can hit it with anything we want really that’s like a projectile we will not have any issues with this exploding we also can’t punch it by accident of course you could break the glass and punch it but ideally

And what’s nice about that is then you can have a safe way of displaying this really cool item in your base just like that when one end crystal explodes every n crystal within 11 blocks of it will explode as well but those ones will not trigger any further explosions so for

Instance if we explode this end crystal here that one there will disappear because it’s exploded as well and you can see that is the distance of how far away it can be also i’m right clicking here and i cannot place an end crystal why is that if i place here can it work

No it doesn’t so i basically have to have any end crystal placed next to each other to be at least one block away in a straight line like that as well as in a diagonal so it works either way once you have these here of course they can just

Stay there they even have kind of a nice wavy motion like that just be aware if you have a whole lot of end crystals and you have one explode even somewhat far away the other ones will explode as well now here is a really cool easter egg

With end crystals if you look in the center of them here although it’s a bit dizzying you can notice there’s these symbols and there’s a symbol on every single side of the crystal now this is not confirmed by mojing but if you place these symbols in the

Correct order it actually looks like it does spell the words mojeng but i’m not sure it is interesting though because mojing has six letters this has six sides so it certainly would make a lot of sense if there was an interesting easter egg hidden there so that’s

Probably what the ancient ruins on the end crystal spell which i think is a really cool easter egg they may have noticed every single time i explode an end crystal it doesn’t seem to be destroying any blocks but the end crystal isn’t explosive in fact it is 50

Percent more powerful than tnt why isn’t it destroying any blocks well it’s because there’s this piece of obsidian beneath it if we were to let’s say destroy this piece of obsidian and explode the end crystal well you could just say that the explosive damage is a

Lot higher than it would be if that was still there now it does explode things above it as well so let’s say we’re going to place a piece of obsidian here place an end crystal there maybe see if we can use this trident to detonate it from afar so

We do not die from the explosive damage there it would for instance destroy the tree there but it does not destroy any single block that is below this piece of obsidian you could actually use it strategically if you want to kind of destroy the underbrush of an area and you had a lot

Of end crystals we’re kind of late game you could go around placing down the pieces of obsidian just like let’s say here and you want all the blocks around here to be destroyed but not the ones that are beneath it you could simply place that explode it from afar and

Voila you have a very large area that has all the top blocks destroyed from it also something very important you need to know if you play the bedrock edition of minecraft is it when you destroy an end crystal regardless of that there’s blocks beneath it or not in bedrock

Edition it does destroy blocks underneath it sort of like this so the end crystal is certainly a much more destructive item in bedrock edition because it does not have any care about if there’s this bedrock or obsidian as a last little fun thing if we summon and

End crystal with the summon command in a command block just like this and we have it repeat and be always active you can see two things number one they do actually have the bedrock base beneath them like that but also it begins to summon so many we have this incredibly

Satisfying end crystal visual right here which i think is one of the most satisfying things in minecraft just be aware they still explode very fiercely as this command block will continue to place them down infinitely you also cannot place n crystals like this in survival you can see here there’s this

Really cool look to them it’s almost weird to look at this and think of what even block is this in minecraft anyway i’ll see in the next video goodbye You
