User:Augurnz/The End

Purpose
This subpage of my userspace profile is here to document my first attempt at entering The End and slaying the Ender Dragon. The talk page can also be used for discussion about my progress towards this goal, and it serves as a place for experienced gamers to offer me tips and advice along the way.

Background
I am playing Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition and have decided to use my existing TU12 world (which I created with the Kazingy seed) to pursue my first Ender Dragon. My game settings, which have not been changed since I created this world, are as follows...


 * Seed: 736233627
 * Game Mode: Survival
 * Difficulty: Easy

I had been playing this world a lot before TU13 came out, and have established an equilibrium in the Overworld, with non-automated agriculture, horticulture, and arboriculture all contained within a walled, well-lit, secure city. My sole Nether Portal in this world leads straight into a Nether Fortress, where I have easy access to two Blaze spawners, which I have farmed extensively for Blaze Rods. Because of all this progress, I have decided to stick with my TU12 world, rather than start afresh with the TU13 version of Kazingy.

Progress Report

 * 18:40, 17 October 2013 (UTC): At present I have 6 Ender Pearls, and I have visited the Stronghold in the Overworld, so I know roughly where it is. I can get back there with some difficulty. I am creating a collection of items to bring with me on my first assault of The End, and I have been practicing the speedy construction of a safehouse, which I'll build out of Obsidian when I eventually get to The End.

Loadout
These are the items that I intend to take with me on my first excursion to The End. I'm still adding to my loadout, so there shouldn't be any wasted space.

Enchantments
Many of the items I will be taking with me to The End are enchanted. I only enchant using Level 30 spells, and I try to get the best mixture of effects, sometimes making several attempts before accepting an enchantment. This is what I have already enchanted...
 * Diamond Sword: Looting III, Bane of Arthropods IV
 * Diamond Sword: Knockback II, Smite IV, Fire Aspect II
 * Diamond Sword: Sharpness IV
 * Bow: Power IV, Flame I, Infinity I
 * Diamond Helmet: Fire Protection IV, Aqua Affinity I, Respiration III
 * Diamond Chestplate: Protection IV
 * Diamond Leggings: Protection IV
 * Diamond Boots: Feather Falling IV, Blast Protection IV
