The Ender Dragon is a powerful boss that heals from Ender Crystals on tall obsidian pillars, making it essential to destroy them first. It attacks by spewing Dragon Breath and fireballs, creating lingering damage zones that can quickly deplete health. The dragon also performs a Charge Attack, swooping down to knock players back.

During the Perch Phase, it lands on the End Portal, becoming temporarily vulnerable to melee attacks, making this the best opportunity to deal high damage with a Sharpness V sword.
Wither

The Wither is one of the most dangerous and destructive boss mobs in Minecraft. It is a three-headed, floating, undead creature that players must summon manually by placing three Wither Skeleton skulls on a T-shaped structure of soul sand or soul soil. Once spawned, the Wither causes massive destruction and attacks anything in sight. It primarily appears in the Overworld but can also be summoned in the Nether or the End.

When summoned, the Wither builds up power and creates a massive explosion. It shoots black and blue Wither Skulls, which deal area damage upon impact, with blue skulls being more powerful and undetectable. Its attacks inflict the Wither effect, draining health over time. Below 50% health, the Wither becomes immune to arrows, enters Berserk Mode, and starts charging at players while regenerating health.

For the Wither fight, use a fully enchanted Netherite sword with Smite V and a Power V bow. Wear full Netherite armor with Protection IV or Blast Protection IV to survive explosions. Bring Strength II, Regeneration, and Healing potions, and Milk buckets to remove the Wither effect. Golden Apples and Totems of Undying provide extra healing.
To fight, summon the Wither underground in a confined space to limit movement. Use the bow for long-range attacks before its health drops below 50%, then switch to the Smite V sword for close combat. Block its projectiles with obsidian or cobblestone, healing as needed.
Warden

The Warden is a powerful, blind mob found in the Deep Dark biome, typically near Ancient Cities. It is designed to be an overwhelming force for players who venture too close without being cautious. The Warden is a non-hostile mob unless provoked but becomes extremely dangerous if it detects vibrations.

The Warden is blind but detects players through vibrations from movement or block interactions. It delivers powerful melee attacks that can kill even heavily armored players and uses a sonic boom to deal long-range damage, ignoring obstacles. With high health and resistance, it is extremely difficult to defeat. The best strategy is avoidance—sneak to prevent detection.

If fighting is necessary, use a Power V bow from a distance and a Sharpness V Netherite sword for close combat. Wear full Netherite armor with Protection IV and carry milk buckets to remove Slowness. Use Night Vision, Regeneration, Healing, and Speed potions to stay aware and mobile. If the Warden gets too close, use Ender Pearls or take cover, avoiding unnecessary noise to escape safely.

Enderman

Phantom

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.
