What is End Crystal in Minecraft?
An End Crystal is a very special and powerful item in Minecraft, primarily associated with the End dimension and the Ender Dragon. In the game, these crystals are found on top of the large obsidian pillars in the End, where they heal the Ender Dragon during the boss fight. Players must destroy all the End Crystals to be able to defeat the dragon. You can also craft your own End Crystal. A crafted End Crystal has a very powerful and dangerous use: it creates a massive explosion when it is hit or destroyed. This explosion is even more powerful than TNT. The other major use for a crafted End Crystal is to respawn the Ender Dragon, allowing you to fight the boss again to gain more experience and access to more End gateways.
How to get End Crystal in Minecraft
You cannot pick up the End Crystals that naturally generate in the End. You must craft your own. The crafting recipe for an End Crystal is quite expensive and requires materials from all three dimensions. You will need one Eye of Ender, one Ghast Tear, and seven glass blocks. You can get glass by smelting sand in a furnace. To get a Ghast Tear, you must travel to the Nether and defeat a Ghast, which is a large, white, floating mob that shoots fireballs. They have a chance to drop a Ghast Tear. To get an Eye of Ender, you need to craft it from an Ender Pearl and Blaze Powder. Ender Pearls are dropped by Endermen, and Blaze Powder is made from Blaze Rods, which are dropped by Blazes found in Nether fortresses. Once you have all the materials, you can craft the End Crystal on a crafting table.
How to use End Crystal in Minecraft
A crafted End Crystal can only be placed on obsidian or bedrock blocks. Once placed, it will create a beam of light. To use it for its explosive power, you can hit it with an arrow, a trident, or any other projectile. You can also punch it, but that is very dangerous as the explosion will likely kill you. The explosion is very large and destructive, so be extremely careful. This is sometimes used in advanced PvP combat. The other main use is to respawn the Ender Dragon. To do this, you must return to the main End island after the dragon has been defeated. Place four End Crystals on the End exit portal, one on each side in the middle of the edge. This will cause the original crystals on the obsidian pillars to respawn, and a new Ender Dragon will appear, ready for another fight.
