Minecraft: How to Respawn Ender Dragon in 1.19 Update

This article is over 2 years old and may contain outdated information.

The Ender Dragon, Minecraft‘s “final boss,” features a battle that fans will never forget, and some might wish to reexperience this boss fight in the 1.19 Update. Unlike the formidable Wither that can be summoned in any biome, the Ender Dragon can only be confronted within its pocket dimension known as The End. Defeating this final opponent will grant players access to End Cities, expansive biomes within The End that contain rare loot, such as the Elytra in Minecraft. While taking down the Ender Dragon for a second or third time does not yield different outcomes, Minecraft fans might relish facing the massive flying wyvern for a rematch in 1.19.

Respawning the Ender Dragon in Minecraft 1.19

To respawn the Ender Dragon in Minecraft 1.19, players will need to craft four End Crystals, the same combustible blocks used when defeating the boss for the first time. To make these entities, fans must procure Glass, Ghast Tears, and Eyes of Ender.

Thanks to the efforts of YouTube content creator Gamer Tweak, Minecraft fans can know how to make and use End Crystals to respawn the Ender Dragon in version 1.19 of the game. As mentioned above, four End Crystals are needed for the resummoning process, meaning ×4 of all the crafting resources are required.

How to Craft Four End Crystals
Materials	Procurement Process
Glass ×28	Glass is made by placing Sand blocks into a Furnace. Since one block of Sand produces a single block of Glass, players must collect Sand ×28 in total.
Ghast Tears ×4	Ghast Tears are dropped by Ghast, giant ghost-like hostile mobs that fly about the Nether Realm. Specifically, these hostile mobs can be found exclusively within Basalt Deltas, Nether Wastes, and Soul Sand Valleys. Since they only remain airborne while idle and during combat, the only ways to kill them are by perfectly timing a melee attack to reflect their flame projectiles back to them or shooting arrows with a bow.
Eyes of Ender ×4	Eye of Enders are made by combining an Ender Pearl dropped by an Enderman and Blaze Powder, which is produced from Blaze Rods. Blazes spawn within Nether Fortresses, while Endermen can appear in all three dimensions of Minecraft.

Once players have crafted four End Crystals in Minecraft, they must return to the Stronghold Portal and reenter the Ender Dragon’s lair in The End. They can then respawn the beast by placing the crystals in the center on each of the four sides of the End City teleportation sculpture. After a short animation, the Ender Dragon will respawn for Round 2.
