Ender Dragon

The Ender Dragon is the ultimate boss, residing in the End dimension. It soars above the End, protected by Ender Crystals atop obsidian pillars that heal it. Vanquishing this beast grants a substantial XP reward and access to the End Gateway, leading to End Cities and the coveted Elytra.

The Ender Dragon's power is bolstered by Ender Crystals on tall obsidian pillars, which you must destroy first. It unleashes Dragon Breath and fireballs, creating lingering damage zones that can quickly drain your health. Additionally, it performs a Charge Attack, swooping down to knock players back.

In the Perch Phase, it lands on the End Portal, making it temporarily vulnerable to melee attacks. This is your prime opportunity to inflict significant damage with a Sharpness V sword.

Wither

The Wither is one of the most fearsome and destructive boss mobs in Minecraft. This three-headed, floating undead creature requires players to summon it by arranging three Wither Skeleton skulls on a T-shaped soul sand or soul soil structure. Once unleashed, the Wither wreaks havoc, attacking everything in its path. It primarily haunts the Overworld but can also be summoned in the Nether or the End.

Upon summoning, the Wither charges up and causes a massive explosion. It launches black and blue Wither Skulls, with the blue ones being more potent and harder to dodge. Its attacks inflict the Wither effect, gradually draining your health. Below 50% health, it becomes immune to arrows, enters Berserk Mode, charges at players, and begins regenerating health.

For the Wither fight, arm yourself with a fully enchanted Netherite sword with Smite V and a Power V bow. Equip full Netherite armor with Protection IV or Blast Protection IV to withstand its explosions. Stock up on Strength II, Regeneration, and Healing potions, as well as Milk buckets to counteract the Wither effect. Golden Apples and Totems of Undying provide additional healing.

To engage, summon the Wither underground in a confined space to limit its movement. Use the bow for long-range attacks before its health drops below 50%, then switch to the Smite V sword for close combat. Use obsidian or cobblestone to block its projectiles, and heal as necessary.

Warden

The Warden is a formidable, blind mob found in the Deep Dark biome, often near Ancient Cities. It remains non-hostile unless provoked, but becomes a deadly threat when it detects vibrations from your movements or block interactions.

Although blind, the Warden senses players through vibrations. It delivers devastating melee attacks capable of killing even the best-armored players and uses a sonic boom for long-range damage, ignoring obstacles. With its high health and resistance, defeating it is challenging. The best strategy is to avoid detection by sneaking.

If combat is unavoidable, use a Power V bow from a distance and a Sharpness V Netherite sword for close encounters. Wear full Netherite armor with Protection IV and carry Milk buckets to remove Slowness. Utilize Night Vision, Regeneration, Healing, and Speed potions to stay alert and agile. If the Warden closes in, use Ender Pearls or take cover, avoiding noise to escape safely.

Ravager

The Ravager is a formidable beast that appears during Pillager Raids in villages. Often seen alone or with a Pillager, Evoker, or Vindicator riding on its back, it boasts high health and immense strength, making it one of the most dangerous raid mobs. It can destroy crops, leaves, and certain blocks as it charges through a village.

To defeat it, use a Power V bow from a distance before switching to a Sharpness V or Smite V Netherite sword for close combat. Wear Protection IV armor and bring Regeneration and Healing potions for sustainability. Dodging its charge and attacking from the sides or behind is the best strategy to minimize damage.

Evoker

The Evoker is a dangerous spell-casting villager found in Woodland Mansions and during Pillager Raids. It's the only mob that drops the Totem of Undying, making it a valuable target. Despite its low health, the Evoker's powerful magical attacks make it a significant threat.

It employs three main attacks: summoning Fangs that emerge from the ground, Vexes—flying minions that deal high damage—and a defensive spell that turns nearby sheep red. The Evoker has low health but can cause significant damage if not dealt with quickly.

To defeat it, use a Power V bow from a distance or a Sharpness V Netherite sword for a swift melee kill. Wear Protection IV armor and bring Healing and Regeneration potions to survive Vex attacks. Prioritize killing the Evoker first in raids to stop it from summoning Vexes, then deal with the remaining enemies.

Enderman

The Enderman is a tall, neutral mob found in the Overworld at night, the Nether, and the End. It becomes hostile if a player looks directly at it or attacks it. Endermen can teleport, pick up blocks, and are immune to projectile attacks. They are most common in the End, where they spawn in large numbers.

To defeat an Enderman, use a Sharpness V sword, as bows are ineffective due to teleportation. Wear a carved pumpkin to avoid provoking them accidentally and use water or a two-block-high shelter for safety. Protection IV armor and Regeneration potions help you withstand its strong melee attacks.

Piglin Brute

The Piglin Brute is a powerful, hostile mob found in Bastion Remnants in the Nether. Unlike regular Piglins, it is always aggressive, does not barter or get distracted by gold, and wields a golden axe.

To defeat it, use a Power V bow from a distance or a Sharpness V Netherite sword for quick melee combat. Wear Protection IV Netherite armor to withstand its attacks and bring Regeneration and Strength II potions for extra durability. Fighting from higher ground or using shields can help block its powerful strikes.

Shulker

The Shulker is a hostile mob found in End Cities in the End dimension. It hides inside a shell and becomes hostile when a player approaches. Shulkers spawn on purpur blocks and attack by shooting homing projectiles that inflict Levitation, making players float and vulnerable to fall damage.

To defeat a Shulker, use a Sharpness V sword for melee when its shell is open or a Power V bow if it's hard to reach. Wear Feather Falling boots and use water buckets or Ender Pearls to avoid fall damage. Milk buckets remove Levitation, and Protection IV armor helps mitigate damage.

Phantom

Image: ensigame.com

The Phantom is a hostile flying mob that spawns when a player has not slept for three or more in-game nights. It appears at night, flying above the player, and swoops down to attack. Phantoms spawn in the Overworld, typically above the player, and are more common in areas without light sources.

Phantoms spawn at night and fly above the player, swooping down to deal melee damage. They are weak in health but can cause significant damage if left unchecked. Phantoms also attack in groups, which can overwhelm a player if not dealt with quickly.

To defeat them, use a Bow with Power V to shoot them from a distance while they fly. A Netherite sword with Sharpness V is effective for close combat if needed. Protection IV armor will help minimize damage, and Regeneration and Healing potions can assist with recovery. Night Vision potions can help spot them more easily in the dark. Additionally, sleeping regularly to avoid spawning them is the best strategy to prevent Phantom encounters.

Hoglin

Hoglins attack with powerful melee charges, dealing substantial damage to players. They drop Raw Porkchops and can be bred with Crimson Fungi. Hoglins are immune to fire but are vulnerable to Warped Fungus, which can be used to lure or repel them.

Image: ensigame.com

To defeat a Hoglin, use a Sharpness V sword for close combat or a Power V bow for long-range attacks. Wear Protection IV armor to reduce the damage from their charges, and bring Regeneration potions for healing. Strength potions will increase damage output, and Warped Fungus can help control Hoglin movement. Fighting them in open areas will prevent getting cornered by their charges.
