Last updated
Ever wondered how you can pick up a dragon egg in Minecraft? Well, you’re in the right place to find out! Let’s break it down.
If you’re trying to snag a dragon egg in Minecraft, you might have realized it’s not as simple as picking up a block of dirt. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
Short Answer: With Some Crafty Techniques
To pick up a dragon egg in Minecraft, you can’t just break it with a pickaxe like other blocks. You need to use some crafty techniques. First, make sure the egg has fallen by tapping it once. Then, use a piston and a lever or a redstone block to push the egg off its pedestal, drop it as an item, and voilà! You can now collect it.
Another trick involves using a torch. Place the torch two blocks beneath where the dragon egg sits. Then, break the blocks between the egg and the torch, causing the egg to drop onto the torch and break, allowing you to pick it up.
