The dragon egg is a block in Minecraft.
Obtaining
A single dragon egg is generated on top of the exit end portal when the first ender dragon is defeated. Dragon eggs cannot be mined directly, as trying to mine it will cause the egg to teleport. However, the egg does not teleport if there aren't any air blocks available for it to teleport to, which allows it to be mined.[1] It drops as an item when it falls into a non-solid transparent block, or when pushed by a piston.
Spawning and killing more dragons will not generate additional dragon eggs.
| Block | Dragon Egg | |
|---|---|---|
| Hardness | 3 | |
| Breaking time (secs) | ||
| Default | 4.5 | |
Teleporting
To cause the egg to teleport, press attack while in survival or adventure mode (use in creative). It teleports to a place nearby (up to seven blocks vertically and fifteen blocks horizontally), creating the same particles as endermen. It may teleport into the air and subsequently fall to the ground.
Usage
The dragon egg, if there is no block below it, will fall until it lands on the next available block. When it is being affected by gravity and falling, it exhibits a smooth falling animation.
It does not suffocate mobs or players when it falls and covers them.
The dragon egg can be placed on a non-solid block without falling.
Unlike other falling blocks, when the dragon egg is floating, it doesn't have particles underneath.
Light source
Dragon eggs emit a light level of 1.
Data values
falling_block entity
- Dynamic block entity data
- Tags common to all entities
- BlockState: The falling block represented by this entity.
- Name: The resource location of the block.
- Properties: Optional. The block states of the block.
- Name: The block state name and its value.
- CancelDrop: 1 or 0 (true/false). Whether the block will be cancelled from being placed when it lands on a solid block. When true, it also prevents the block from dropping as an item (regardless of what the
DropItemtag is set to). However, if true and the falling block'sTimetag goes to 0 before landing on a solid block, it will still destroy itself and drop itself as an item (or not, respective to what theDropItemtag is set to).CancelDropdefaults to false for summoned and naturally occurring falling blocks (except for Suspicious Blocks). - DropItem: 1 or 0 (true/false) – true if the block should drop as an item when it breaks. Any block that does not have an item form with the same ID as the block does not drop even if this is set.
- FallHurtAmount: Multiplied by the
FallDistanceto calculate the amount of damage to inflict. By default this value is 2
for anvils, and 6

for pointed dripstone. - FallHurtMax: The maximum hit points of damage to inflict on entities that intersect this falling block. For vanilla falling blocks, always 40
× 20. - HurtEntities: 1 or 0 (true/false) – true if the block should hurt entities it falls on.
- TileEntityData: Optional. The tags of the block entity for this block.
- Time: The number of ticks the entity has existed. When
Timegoes above 600, or above 100 while the block is below Y=1 or is outside building height, the entity is deleted.

A '''heart of the sea''' is a rare [[item]] that can be crafted into a [[conduit]].
== Obtaining ==
The heart of the sea must be found. It cannot be crafted or obtained by trading, making it a [[non-renewable resource]].
A heart of the sea is obtained from a [[buried treasure]]. The location is marked with a noticeable red X on a [[Explorer Map|buried treasure map]], which is found in [[Ocean_Ruins|ocean ruins]] and [[Shipwreck|shipwrecks]]. Feeding [[raw cod]] or [[raw salmon]] to a [[dolphin]] causes the dolphin to swim toward the nearest [[buried treasure]], [[shipwreck]], or [[ocean ruins]].

'''Kelp''' is an underwater plant that generates in most [[ocean]]s.
== Obtaining ==
=== Natural generation ===
Kelp naturally generates in any [[ocean]] [[biome]]s (except in [[Frozen Ocean|frozen]], [[Deep Frozen Ocean|deep frozen]] and [[Warm Ocean|warm]]), near and around [[seagrass]]. Each chunk has {{frac|1|18}} chance to generate a [[vegetation]] of kelp.
=== Breaking ===
Kelp can be mined instantly with any [[tool]] or with the player's fist. Removing water from the kelp block destroys the kelp. Breaking one part of a kelp stalk destroys all kelp [[block]]s above it. Each block drops a kelp [[item (entity)|item]].
=== Trading ===
Kelp can be bought from [[wandering trader]]s for 3 emeralds.
== Usage ==
Kelp can be placed underwater by hand, or anywhere by the use of [[commands]] such as {{cmd|setblock}}. Placing it by hand gives it a random {{code|age}} value between 0 and 24. Kelp can be placed only in [[water]] source blocks or downward-flowing water, not horizontally flowing water.
When placed in downward-flowing water, the flowing water transforms into a water source block,<ref>{{bug|MC-134229}}</ref> which is useful for faster [[bubble column]] elevator creation.
Any building block can be placed on top of a kelp plant, which is useful for building structures over a deep ocean without needing to build from the ocean floor (see also [[lily pad]]).
=== Cooking ingredient ===
{{smelting
| showname = 1
| Kelp
| Dried Kelp
| 0.1
}}
=== Composting ===
Placing kelp into a [[composter]] has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.
=== Growth mechanics ===
Kelp can be planted on a broad variety of blocks. It grows underwater if it has either a source block of water or, {{in|Java}}, flowing water above it.<ref>{{bug|MC-133354}}</ref> Neither [[player]]s nor [[dispenser]]s can remove the water source block that kelp grows in without breaking the kelp first.
Kelp does not require any [[light]] level to grow. Kelp also grows without having [[sky]] access. [[Bone meal]] can be used to grow kelp by 1 block on each use.
Kelp, when planted, is generated with a randomly chosen age value, which can be checked when pressing [[Debug screen|<kbd>F3</kbd>]]{{only|java}}. The age value of a newly planted kelp plant varies randomly from 0 to 24. Each time the kelp grows in height by one block, the newly generated top of the kelp plant increases its age by 1. When the top block of the kelp plant reaches an age of 25, it stops growing. This means that kelp can naturally grow to a height between 2 (if the first kelp plant had an age of 24) and 26 blocks (if the first kelp plant had an age of 0).
When a kelp plant block is broken, the age of the kelp plant block underneath is randomized to a value from 0 to 24 and the kelp continues growing until it reaches age 25. It is possible to use this mechanic to cultivate a kelp plant to increase its growth height beyond its natural maximum height of 26 blocks. This can be done by breaking the top-most block of the kelp plant each time it reaches age 25. A kelp plant cultivated by a player in this way repeatedly grows until it reaches the water surface.
Each time it receives a [[random tick]], kelp has a 14% chance of growing.
If [[shears]] are used on the topmost block of kelp, that block automatically sets its {{cd|age}} value to {{cd|25}} and stop growing.{{only|JE}}
=== Farming ===
{{Main|Tutorials/Kelp farming}}
Kelp farming is similar to farming [[sugar cane]], although kelp must be placed underwater. Automation of harvest is easier because items float up in water.

** Kelp in real life absorbs nutrients directly from the water, instead of through its root-like structure, [[wikipedia:Holdfast (biology)|holdfast]], which merely attaches it to the seabed. This is in accordance with kelp being able to grow on almost any solid block in ''Minecraft''.

A '''sparkler''' is a [[Chemistry Update|chemistry]]-related [[item]] that emits particles when lit.
Sparklers are available in orange, blue, red, purple, and green colors.

|type=Miscellaneous
}}
== Usage ==
{{ctrl|Using}} a sparkler ignites it, causing its texture to change. When lit, the sparkler emits colored [[particles]]; the [[durability]] meter depletes while the sparkler is burning. Sparklers are one of the few [[item]]s that can be held in the [[off-hand]] {{in|be}}. Unlit sparklers have normal lighting like most items, while lit sparklers appear to glow when held in the player's hand, similarly to [[glow stick]]s.
When the [[player]] uses another item while a sparkler is lit, or holds the sparkler in the off-hand, the sparkler's durability stops depleting.
If the player has a lit sparkler in their [[inventory]] and goes into the [[water]], the sparkler is destroyed immediately. However, it does not get destroyed if dropped in water. It also cannot float.
Despite having durability, sparklers cannot be enchanted with [[Unbreaking]] or [[Mending]].

An '''ender pearl''' is an [[item]] that can be thrown to [[teleport]] to where it lands, or used to craft [[eye of ender|eyes of ender]] which are required to access [[the End]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
An [[enderman]] has a 50% chance to drop 1 ender pearl when killed. The drop is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], with a maximum of 4 with Looting III.
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|ender-pearl}}
A [[trapped chest]] always containing 2 ender pearls can be found in the "fake end portal" room of [[woodland mansion]]s.
=== Trading ===
{{IN|java}}, expert-level [[Trading#Cleric|cleric villagers]] have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to sell an ender pearl for 5 [[emerald]]s.
{{IN|bedrock}}, expert-level cleric villagers sell one ender pearl for 5 emeralds.
=== Bartering ===
[[Piglin]]s have a {{frac|10|459}} (2.18%) chance to [[barter]] 2–4 ender pearls when given a [[gold ingot]].
== Usage ==
Ender pearls can be thrown by pressing {{control|use}}. After it is thrown, the ender pearl is consumed, and the player teleports to where it lands, taking {{hp|5}} [[fall damage]]. Wearing armor enchanted with [[Protection]] and/or [[Feather Falling]] reduces the damage taken from the ender pearl.
Ender pearls have a small cone of travel; they do not all follow the same path when thrown in the same direction. The direction and velocity of ender pearl throws is slightly randomized. They can travel about 30 blocks when thrown straight up, and up to 54 blocks forward when thrown at an optimum launch angle of ~35° (on even ground).
The thrower's vertical velocity influences the throw. Hence timing a throw with a jump can increase the throwing range to 42 blocks when thrown straight up and 64 blocks forward at a 35° angle. Throwing while falling significantly decreases the range. Ender pearls collide with all [[minecart]] types, [[boat]]s, [[end crystal]]s and [[nether portal]]s, and travel through [[end portal]]s. Ender pearls that fall into the [[void]] disappear, and do not trigger the player to teleport. However, ender pearl entities (instead of dropped items) are ''not'' destroyed by lava and will teleport the player to the bottom of lava pools/lava oceans.
Ender pearls have a cooldown of one second before they can be used again. The cooldown is shown in the hotbar by a white overlay on the ender pearl that shrinks and must disappear before the player can use it again. If there are other inventory or hotbar slots containing ender pearls, they are covered with the white overlay as well.<ref>{{bug|MC-88236|||WAI}}</ref>
Ender pearls can be thrown into [[end gateway]]s to reach the outer islands of the End. They can also be thrown into the [[exit portal]] to reach the player's spawn point.
Ender pearl teleportation makes no sound ''itself''{{only|java}}, but does emit a "small fall" sound at the destination when applying teleportation damage to the player.
=== Stasis chamber ===
Ender pearls are affected by [[bubble column]]s. An ender pearl can remain afloat on top of an upward bubble column, allowing it to be stored indefinitely. A mechanism can then be triggered to make the ender pearl hit a solid surface (e.g. by closing a [[trapdoor]]), teleporting the thrower back to the setup wherever they are.
=== Spawning endermites ===
An ender pearl has a 5% chance to spawn an [[endermite]] when it lands. This is the only way through which endermites can spawn, without using cheats. The endermite spawns at ''the player's position'' when the pearl lands{{only|je}}, or at the pearl's landing site{{only|be}}.

{{History||1.0.0|snap=Beta 1.9 Prerelease|Ender pearls are now less commonly found near bodies of [[water]] since [[endermen]] now teleport away when in contact with water. Before this version, endermen didn't attempt to teleport and were [[damage]]d/killed from water much more frequently, causing numerous ender pearls to occur around bodies of water.
|Later, on a suggestion from [[wikipedia:Reddit|Reddit]] user isJesus, [[Notch]] implemented the teleporting feature for ender pearls.<ref>http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/kpsay/eggsnowballender_pearl_suggestiongif/c2mabfj</ref><ref>{{Tweet|notch|118614580539826176}}</ref><ref>http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/kss7n/twitter_ender_pearls_have_a_unique_ability_now/c2mwldd</ref>}}

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}
== Trivia ==
*Ender pearls can be used to teleport/move through non-[[solid block]]s without suffocation and solid blocks by pressing against the blocks and using the ender pearl at the player's feet until the player goes through.<ref>{{bug|MC-2164}}</ref><ref>{{ytl|KA1UmxraeUg}}</ref>
*In ''Java Edition'', it is possible to spawn a thrown ender pearl using commands, but it does not teleport, unless it is assigned an owner.
*If the player throws an ender pearl and then dies before impact while the pearl is in a loaded chunk, the pearl disappears and the player is not teleported. Pearls in unloaded chunks do not disappear if their owner dies.
*If the player throws an ender pearl in Survival mode and changes to Creative mode before the pearl lands, the player is still teleported.
*The player is still teleported by throwing an ender pearl and entering [[the Nether]] before it lands. The pearl is not lost if an ender pearl is thrown into a [[nether portal]] and the player travels through the portal; the pearl lands and teleports the player as usual.
*If multiple ender pearls are thrown in succession, the player can be hurt only once from fall damage within about a one-second span.
*If a [[player]] dies from ender pearl teleportation, the [[death message]] says: "<player> hit the ground too hard".
*A thrown ender pearl faces toward the player in first-person view, while it appears rotated horizontal in [[third-person view]]. This is the case for all throwable items (ender pearl, [[egg]], [[snowball]], and all throwable [[potion]]s).
*Ender pearls and [[snowball]]s have the exact same range when fired. Therefore, snowballs can be used to predict the trajectory of ender pearls, or simply for practicing ender pearl throwing. This can be very helpful when the player has to throw ender pearls in dangerous environments, such as the Nether or the End.
*Despite the fact that ender pearls deal no damage to anything they're thrown at, provokable mobs (such as iron golems and piglins) will be provoked by the player if one is thrown at them.

Issues
Issues relating to "Dragon Egg" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.
Trivia
- The writer of the Minecraft comic WonderCraft, Samcube, was requested by Mojang to create official Minecraft posters. In part of these works, one can see an area with an ender dragon and a chicken on top of a huge mushroom. In the same scene the dragon egg is visible near the chicken.
- The dragon egg can be considered the rarest block obtainable in survival due to the fact that it only spawns once per world.
