The dragon egg is the rarest block in survival Minecraft.

Obtaining

A single dragon egg spawns on top of the exit End Portal left by the ender dragon. Dragon eggs cannot be mined directly, as when 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, allowing to mine it. It drops as an item when falls into a non-solid transparent block, or when pushed by a piston.

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

Falling Dragon Egg
Behavior	Does not exist

See also: Sand § Behavior

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.

Light source

Dragon eggs emit a light level of 1.

Data values

FallingSand 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 DropItem tag is set to). However, if true and the falling block's Time tag 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 the DropItem tag is set to). CancelDrop defaults 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 FallDistance to 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 Time goes above 600, or above 100 while the block is below Y=1 or is outside building height, the entity is deleted.

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.
