Beds explode in the End realm if a player tries to right-click on it to sleep, just like in the Nether. This can cause large amounts of damage to the players, as the explosion is immense. But this can be used as a trick to do a lot of damage while fighting the dragon.

Players can go through it to teleport to a bunch of different End Islands, and exploring further in any direction, they will be able to find floating End cities where some of the best loots in the game are present.

Believe it or not, there is some sort of vegetation in the barren End realm as well! And it probably explains the mysterious teleportation powers Enderman possesses. These are Chorus fruits found on Chorus trees that grow in the End realm. When eaten, they teleport the players to some random location not too far from their previous position.

Not many players know about this, but if you want a rematch with the strongest enemy in Minecraft, you can actually have it. You can respawn Ender dragon once again by using End crystals and placing them in a particular pattern on the bedrock fountain in the middle. Defeating the dragon multiple times will open different End gateways on all sides of the Main End Island.

Players can also store dragon's breath in a glass bottle, which can be used to make lingering potion as well.
