Tutorials/End survival

This tutorial will tell you how to survive in The End. If you want to know how to kill the Ender Dragon, then this is not the place for you.

A note
'''This Page is WIP. Please do not complain about it being incomplete.'''

Before continuing, please note that this page assumes that you have already killed The Ender Dragon. If you have not done so, then I suggest you do, as it is extremely hard to survive in The End with The Ender Dragon alive. It also assumes that you are playing on easy or above, because playing peaceful makes it far less challenging than on other difficulties.

Endermen
Endermen can be very annoying while in The End. They completely cover the island and are very hard to avoid looking at, so always carry a bucket of water with you. If the Enderman tries to attack you, place down the bucket where you are. It should walk into the water and then teleport away. It may also stop attacking you, but even if it doesn't, it will die from the water. Another approach is to wear a pumpkin, and all the Endermen will ignore you completely until you attack them. The downside is that you can only see partially, but by pressing F5 (Ctrl+F5 or Fn+F5 on some computers) you will enter 3rd person mode, where you can see fully again.

Your Home
In The End, there are lots of ways you can build your home. One idea is to build your house underground, making it hard to find (on multiplayer) and also very easy to make. 1 thing that you MUST do is make the ceiling of your house 2 blocks tall. If you make the ceiling any higher then Endermen will be able to spawn in your home. Also, making your house out of cobblestone is a bad idea as Endermen could pick up the cobblestone and ruin your home.

Portal Room
One thing you should do is make a room/building that has The End portal in it. This will stop Endermen from falling through the portal and appearing in The Overworld (which will be annoying if you ever chose to return to The Overworld) and will also stop you from accidently leaving The End.

The Egg
You should also collect the Dragon Egg from the top of the portal. Before you collect it, you should cover the portal with blocks, so when it drops it will not land in the portal and get sent to The Overworld. After that, do not mine it. If you do, the Egg will teleport away. Instead, place a piston facing towards it and activate the piston. It will now drop as an item.

Overworld Farms
In The End, you can still make many of the farms you would typically make in The Overworld. One of the most important farms to make is a cobblestone generator. Here are two different designs for cobblestone generators that both require 1 lava bucket and 1 water bucket. The first design only generates one block at a time, while the second design can genertate 4 blocks at the same time, making it far more efficient than the other one. All of the normal farms (like potato farms, sugar cane ect) work as they do in the overworld, however you may need to place a light source next to the farm for it to function properly. Also, if you want to have animal farms,(chicken, pigs ect) you can make them but only if you pushed the animals through The End portal before you entered The End, or if you brought eggs with you (chickens).

End Exclusive Farms
The End has one huge advantage: it is far easier to build an Endermen farm/grinder. These take a lot of effort to make but are extremely useful after making them and is definitely worth the time put into it. If you want to learn how to learn how to make one, go to Enderman Farming or search on youtube for Endermen Farming.
