Minecraft player defeats Ender Dragon in a ridiculously challenging way

Of the many mobs in Minecraft, some are quite hostile and difficult to defeat. And one of the most formidable enemies the game has to offer is The Ender Dragon. Many players consider defeating this mob to be the final challenge. Some gamers are so talented that they devise various creative ways of beating the dragon.

Redditor Melwin33 shared a clip on the game's subreddit showing them fighting the ender dragon in quite an unorthodox manner.

The post's title stated that the video shows the most difficult way of defeating this formidable enemy. The 18-second-long clip shows the player deflecting a fireball coming from a ghast and hitting the Ender Dragon.

Considering how dangerous the boss of the End dimension is, defeating it with normal projectile attacks is extremely challenging. Using the ghast’s fireball takes the task to a whole new level.

Reacting to this video, Gurantula said this method is so silly yet so funny at the same time. Another user named MrCoolBoy001 said that they're scared just by thinking how the original poster (OP) brought a ghast to the End dimension. OP didn't physically transport the ghast into the End as that isn't possible. They used a custom data pack to do it.

In one of the comments, OP said that the data pack used was not Blaze and Caves but their own. They also added a link to its page on Planet Minecraft. Everydayminec13 found it impressive and MemeBoiCrep told OP they should have said this earlier.

OP replied to this comment by asking if using the data pack to bring ghasts in the End dimension is considered cheating. This addition doesn't change how the game plays, and defeating the Ender dragon is still just as challenging as in normal gameplay. MemeBoiCrep clarified that they meant that OP should have said it earlier so everyone else could try it.

Minecraft needs an End update

Bundles are finally in the game (Image via Mojang Studios)

Mojang recently released the Bundles of Bravery update that added the long-awaited bundles to Minecraft. This item is a game-changer as it lets players expand their inventory, customize storage, and gives them the ability to explore further by letting them carry more items.

The update also added the Hardcore mode for the Bedrock Edition, something that was missing for more than a decade.

However, fans feel the developers need to improve the End dimension by adding elements that make exploring the desolate area fun and fighting the mobs more challenging. Perhaps the next major update will be the End update every Minecraft player is looking for.
