So, you’ve defeated the Ender Dragon, and there’s this cool egg sitting there. How do you pick it up? We’ve got you covered!
Quick Guide to Taking the Dragon Egg
First things first, you can’t just pick up the dragon egg like you would with other items in Minecraft. It’s a bit more tricky than that.
To take the dragon egg, you’ll need to make sure it hatches on a solid block. Here’s a simple step-by-step:
- Right-click the egg to teleport it.
- Find where it teleports to, usually nearby.
- Place a piston facing the egg and activate it with a lever or a redstone torch.
- The piston will push the egg, dropping it as an item for you to pick up.
And just like that, the dragon egg is yours! Remember, the dragon egg can only be collected once per game, making it a rare and valuable item.
