How to Successfully Complete Minecraft

Do you immerse yourself in the world of Minecraft? Have you dedicated numerous hours to excavating, enduring, combating, and creating? Is your sense of excitement waning, and are you at a loss for what to embark on next? This guide will direct you on how to "Conquer" Minecraft. To achieve this, you must seek out and step through The End portal, which transports you to The End dimension. Upon your arrival, taking down The Ender Dragon is essential to secure your triumph in the game!

Part 1

Acquiring Resources

Amass essential items. This step is quite important, and you’ll require several items that are crucial for locating the stronghold and for proceeding to the final stage of the game.
For the purpose of this walkthrough, you will need a foundational understanding of the basic mechanics of Minecraft.

Extract minerals

Your quest must yield at least 5 diamonds, 64 pieces of iron, and multiple stacks of coal. It's advisable to obtain 7 diamonds if your aim includes crafting a sword, pickaxe, and an enchantment table, with additional ones if you desire protective gear. However, if it’s within your reach, opting for netherite is the superior choice.
Be prepared, as this endeavor may consume a considerable amount of time.

Fabricate equipment and protective gear

You’ll need to make at least one diamond blade, one diamond excavation tool, a complete set of iron protective attire, a long-range bow, ammunition, and several bundles of torches.

Gather obsidian

The necessity for entering the Nether beckons the need for obsidian. The straightforward method to acquire obsidian involves strategically placing lava adjacent to water.
Keep in mind that only diamond tools can efficiently extract obsidian.
Besides the Nether portal, obsidian also plays a part in the assembly of the enchantment table, which significantly aids in your opposition against the dragon or serves useful for general gameplay.

Part2

Construct a Portal to the Nether Realm

Assemble and ignite a gateway to the Nether Realm. For this task, you require a minimum of ten blocks of obsidian. Form a vertical, empty rectangle, leaving an entrance three blocks tall and two blocks wide (excluding corners, which are optional and can be replaced with any other type of block for support). Ignite the interior edges with flint and steel. This action will cause the center to shimmer with a purple hue and emit peculiar noises.

Embark on a Journey to the Nether

Step inside the portal and wait approximately four seconds to get transported into the Nether. Remember to bring flint and steel to reignite the portal if necessary, especially if ghast damages it, and carry sufficient provisions to sustain your health.

Locate a Fortress in the Nether

Within the Nether resides a fortress known for its abundance of Nether Wart and a Blaze spawning area. Finding one may be challenging and might require patience.

Defeat Blazes and Acquire Nether Wart

Blazes are creatures that, upon defeat, drop Blaze rods essential for potion crafting and progressing to the endgame. Accumulating a large number of Blaze rods is advisable.

Nether Wart is an important component in potion-making and thrives exclusively on Soul Sand, recognizable by its brown color and facial impressions. Take some Soul Sand and consider cultivating Nether Wart at your base. You can find it in Nether fortresses, often growing in pairs near ascending stairways.

Fabricate a Potion Stand

By creating a potion stand, you'll be able to concoct various brews to assist you in the ultimate battle.

Procure Ender Pearls

Endermen, when defeated, drop Ender pearls; alternatively, you can obtain them through trading with piglins (version 1.16 and newer). Ender pearls are versatile and should be collected in significant quantities, at least 20, for uses such as:

Instantaneous movement – Launch an Ender pearl using the right-click action to teleport to where it lands. This function proves handy in locations like deep ravines, expansive caverns, and within the Nether itself.

Crafting material for Eye of Ender – Ender pearls are combined with other ingredients to forge Eyes of Ender.

Compose Eyes of Ender

These elements are vital for finding and accessing the final phase of the game. Create an Eye of Ender by blending blaze powder with an Ender pearl on the crafting table.

This combination does not require a specific arrangement on the table.
To produce blaze powder, simply place a Blaze rod into the crafting area.

Part 3

Discovering an Ancient Fortress

Cast an Eye of Ender into the air. It will ascend and journey toward the closest ancient fortress, which is an infrequent subterranean formation. To launch an Eye of Ender, simply right-click while the Eye is in your grip (or press "Use" on Pocket Edition).
Continue the aforementioned action until an ancient fortress is pinpointed.

When the Eye of Ender alters its trajectory downward, you'll realize you've reached an ancient fortress.
Remember that there's a 1 in 5 chance that the Eyes may break after you use them, so it’s wise to carry extras.

Unearth the ancient fortress

You may need to remove some earth and stone to uncover the entrance to the fortress.
Make the environment safe.

Expect to encounter numerous creatures within the fortress, so eliminate them and illuminate the area to prevent more from spawning.
And never dig directly underneath yourself because the End Portal frame rests above a lava pool! Incorrect digging might lead to a perilous plunge into caverns below, increasing the risk of injury from falls and attacks by unfriendly entities.

Part 4

Arrival at the Final Dimension

Seek out an End Gateway. Every stronghold harbors a single End Gateway. Utilize this to access the realm known as The End.

Engage the Gateway.

To engage the gateway, insert Eyes of Ender into the "frame". Arm yourself with the eye, target an unfilled space on the frame and apply it. Continue this process until each of the twelve spaces is embedded with an eye. There's a 10% chance a space might already be occupied by an eye. Should fortune favor you greatly, the gateway could be wholly assembled upon your discovery!

Leap through the Gateway.

This action transports you to The End.
Fear not the molten rock beneath the gateway when leaping through an engaged gateway; it cannot harm you. However, leaping through while it remains inactive could result in a fiery demise, potentially causing the loss of your gear!

Part 5

Confronting the Mythical Wyrm

Prepare for the ultimate battle.
The final adversary is known as the Ender Dragon. Indeed, she is confirmed to be a female entity, and she soars through the celestial expanses of the End. Vanquishing her is the key to triumphing in the game.

Be cautious of Endermen; this realm is their stronghold. Engaging them with your gaze, particularly their eyes, will incite their aggression.
Should you save, exit, and re-enter the End without having defeated the dragon, a second wyrm will emerge. Allocate sufficient time to conclude the confrontation.

Seek out the wyrm

Patience may be needed as she reveals herself, which provides an opportunity to organize your inventory and prepare.
If you spawn below the surface, excavate upward to the open.

Annihilate the End Crystals

These healing conduits for the Ender Dragon perch on high obsidian pillars in the End.
Any form of attack can dismantle them, though using projectiles is advisable due to the volatile nature of destruction. Iron bars guard some of the crystals.

Vanquish the wyrm

Wield a sword, a bow with arrows, or incendiary devices to inflict harm upon the beast. The wyrm harbors immunity to lava, flames, and splash concoctions. However, fortifying elixirs are recommended for your advantage.

Using a bed can serve as a tactical means to deal damage in the End, leveraging its explosive reaction upon interaction.
In the Java Edition, the dragon becomes immune to arrows when perched atop the portal.

Reap the rewards

The Enderdragon yields up to 70 experience levels and activates the gateway to your return.
Venture to the distant isles (optional).

End Cities, a rare find, nest within these isles and offer treasures:

• Shulker shells: Unique to End cities, shulkers relinquish their shells upon defeat, which is essential for crafting shulker boxes, which maintain inventory holdings even while carried.
• Dragon head: A quarter of End cities possess an aerial ship, bow-fronted with a dragon head, a decorative and coveted artifact that can be donned.
• Elytra: Within the vessel, Elytra awaits in a frame, a prized possession that enables aerial navigation, propelled by pyrotechnic charges.
• Leap through the portal of return.

Conquer the Game!

Having 'completed' Minecraft, you reappear at your world's established spawn with all your equipment and a surplus of experience levels.
You may revisit the End as you wish, given you can access the portal again. Its riches include Ender Pearls held by Endermen and resilient Obsidian and End Stone, which are ideal for constructing blast-resistant structures.
