Description from the author on Modrinth

Ender Dragon Fight Remastered

A difficulty increase of Minecraft's final boss, with a focus on a somewhat Vanilla feel.

Notice: While this will work if only installed on the server, the music will not be played for anyone who doesn't have the mod/resource pack.

This datapack/mod gives the Ender Dragon many more attacks, some of which can be devastating. It also adds boss music, to add that final boss feel. The Ender Dragon even has a second phase when she reaches half health!

Plus, instead of a wimpy 200 health, the Ender Dragon now has 500 health, making it a lot harder.

Let the fight begin.

If you want to make the music quieter, it is the "Jukebox/Note Blocks" slider in Music and Sounds.

Recommended Mods

These mods are pretty good when used together with EDFR. They are not required, but they enhance the End's other lacking features. They are highly recommended, but not required to use EDFR.

Attacks

Attack order:

  1. Force endermen to attack random player.
  2. Summon end zombies.
  3. Shoot fireballs that explode.
  4. Force the dragon to perch. (Replaced with another fireball attack when dragon is Mad)

After the dragon reaches half-heath, she will become Mad. When she becomes Mad, she will respawn 3 end crystals and be able to use Mad attacks. She can only become Mad once, even if her health goes above half again.

Mad attacks (only used after the dragon reaches half health):

  1. Teleport to random end crystal location.
  2. Strike lightning on everyone (if you are moving, the lightning will appear where you were a second ago.)
  3. Summon evoker fangs beneath everyone. (Functions similar to lightning.)
  4. Spawns miniboss (only one miniboss can exist at once, and only one miniboss can be spawned per fight, and the dragon will no longer move while miniboss is in existence, so you have to kill the miniboss)

The attacks are subject to change as I plan on adding more and changing some.

FAQ

Q: What is this?

A: A dragon fight overhaul

Q: Where is the resource pack for the datapack version?

A: It's the same ZIP file as the datapack.

Q: How can I change the health of the dragon?

A: If you're using 5.0, open the config! If you're using the 5.0 betas or lower, edit the source.

Q: Is this compatible with other overhauls like True Ending?

A: No. They were built to be used seprately, so use them seprately. Official compatibility is not planned and will probably never be added, since we have different ideas of what the dragon should do.

This datapack is supposed to make the battle feel more epic.
