Dragon Egg Heatmap

Heatmap of where dragon eggs land after clicking them

The dragon egg is a decorative block, or a "trophy item" in Survival mode.

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 (press 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.
    •  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.

History

release
October 26, 2011The dragon egg is first mentioned by Notch, supposedly before there was the feature freeze,[2][3] though it seems to have been worked on during it.

{{Item
| image = Bone.png
| renewable = Yes
| stackable = Yes (64)
}} 

A '''bone''' is an [[item]] primarily obtained from [[skeleton]]s and similar mobs. It can be crafted into [[Bone Meal|bone meal]] or used to tame wild [[Wolf|wolves]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Chest loot ===

{{LootChestItem|bone}}

=== Mob loot ===

Skeletons, [[wither skeleton]]s, [[skeleton horse]]s, and [[stray]]s may drop 0–2 bones upon death. The maximum drop is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0-5 bones with Looting III.

{{IN|bedrock}}, [[salmon]], [[cod]], [[pufferfish]], and [[tropical fish]] have 25% chance to drop 1-2 bones upon death. The maximum drop is increased by 1 to 2 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 2-8 bones with Looting III.
Salmon (small and medium size) have 25% chance to drop 1 bone upon death, The maximum drop is increased by 1 to 2 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 2-7 bones with Looting III. The chance of dropping bones increases by 1% per looting level, so with Looting III there is up to a 28% chance of bones dropping.

=== Fishing ===

Bones can also be obtained by [[fishing]] as part of the junk category. The best chance of catching a bone is achieved without the [[Luck of the Sea]] enchantment, yielding a 1.1% chance.

== Usage ==

=== Helmet ===
[[File:Steve wearing Bone.png|thumb|right|75px]]
[[File:Alex wearing Bone.png|thumb|right|75px]]
While a bone cannot be equipped in the head slot in Survival mode, equipping it using commands causes it to appear in the player's mouth.

=== Taming ===

Using a bone on a wild [[wolf]] has a {{frac|1|3}} chance of [[taming]] it. Bones cannot tame a hostile wolf or a wolf that has already been tamed. However, bones can be used to attract the attention of the tamed ones.

=== Crafting ingredient ===
A bone can be crafted into 3 bone meal.

'''Shears''' are tools required to obtain some organic blocks or otherwise mine them faster as well as to shear certain entities and blocks.

Despite using [[Iron Ingot|iron]] in its crafting recipe, shears cannot be smelted into [[iron nugget]]s.<ref>{{bug|MC-111738}}</ref>

===Trading===

Novice-level Shepherd [[villager]]s have a 40% chance to sell shears for 2 [[emerald]]s in Java Edition. This trade is always offered in Bedrock Edition.

===Chest loot===

{{LootChestItem|shears}}

==Usage==

===Shearing===
Shears lose 1 [[durability]] when used to shear something.

Shears can be {{Control|use|text=used}} on a [[sheep]] to remove its coat and drop 1–3 [[wool]] of the corresponding color. The same sheep can be sheared again after it eats from a [[grass block]] to regenerate its coat.

Shearing a [[mooshroom]] drops 5 [[mushroom]]s of the corresponding color and irreversibly turns it into a normal [[cow]].

Shearing a [[snow golem]] irreversibly removes its pumpkin, dropping it and revealing its face.

Shearing either a [[beehive]] or [[bee nest]] that is full of honey makes it drop 3 [[honeycomb]]s and resets it to honey level 0. The same beehive or bee nest can be sheared again if it is able to reach full honey again. If sheared by hand without a [[campfire]] below the hive or nest all bees within will exit and all nearby bees will attack the offending player. 

[[Dispenser]]s can use shears in any of the above listed ways, interacting with any valid block or entity in front of the dispenser's face. This decreases the shears' [[durability]]. A dispenser shearing a beehive or bee nest will not anger bees or cause them to leave even if there is not a campfire below it.

Shearing a [[pumpkin]] turns it into a [[carved pumpkin]], dropping 4 [[pumpkin seeds]].

{{IN|java}}, shearing the tip of [[cave vines]], [[kelp]], [[weeping vines]], or [[twisting vines]] sets its age value to 25 and stops further growth.

===Breaking blocks===
Shears use 1 [[durability]] when is used to break any block, even if it [[instant mining|breaks instantly]] by hand.

Shears can be used to harvest [[cobweb|cobwebs]], [[leaves]], [[grass|grass, tall grass]], [[seagrass|seagrass, tall seagrass]], [[fern|ferns, large fern]]s, [[dead bush]]es, [[nether sprouts]], [[vines]], [[glow lichen]] or [[hanging roots]] and obtain them in item form. They can also be used to break [[tripwire]] connected to a [[tripwire hook]] without activating it.

When shears are used to break [[Weeping Vines|weeping vines]] or [[Twisting Vines|twisting vines]] they are guaranteed to drop in item form instead of the usual 33% chance. This only applies to vines directly broken by shears and not vines that are broken due to the destruction of their supporting vines.

The following table shows information about blocks that can be broken with shears. Colors indicate what gets dropped when the block is broken:

*White: The original block.
*Blue: The block's normal drop (i.e. string, sticks, seeds, saplings, apples).
*Red: Nothing.

A '''nautilus shell''' is an item that is used for crafting [[conduit]]s.

==Obtaining==
===Fishing===
{{main|Fishing#Junk and treasure}}
Nautilus shells can be rarely obtained as a treasure item from fishing. The drop chances of nautilus shells slightly increase with each level of [[Luck of the Sea]] on the [[player]]'s [[fishing rod]].

===Mob loot===
[[Drowned]] have a 3%{{only|java|short=1}} or 8%{{only|bedrock|short=1}} chance to spawn with a nautilus shell in their off-hand, and this nautilus shell always drops upon [[death]].

===Trading===
[[Wandering trader]]s may [[trading|sell]] a nautilus shell for 5 [[emerald]]s each, but they only sell 5 of them at a time.

==Usage==
{{IN|bedrock}}, a nautilus shell is one of the few items that can be held in the off-hand.

===Crafting ingredient===
{{crafting usage}}

=== Trading ===
Nautilus shells can be given to trident-wielding drowned with a chance for the drowned to pick up the shell and drop the trident.<sup>[''[[Bedrock Edition]] only'']</sup>

==Trivia==
*[[wikipedia:Nautilus|Nautilus]]es are animals that occupy deep oceans in the real world. However, they are absent in Minecraft and there are currently no plans to add nautilus [[mob]]s into the game.
*Because {{el|bedrock}} allows for Nautilus shells to be held in the off-hand (since drowned hold them), they are the only item in that version that can be put in the off-hand slot without having a specific function.

A '''slimeball''' is a [[crafting]] ingredient commonly dropped by [[slime]]s, and can be sneezed out by [[panda]]s.

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===

==== Slimes ====
{{see also|Tutorials/Slime farming}}

If a [[slime]]'s size is 1, it drops 0–2 slimeballs when killed. The maximum number of slimeballs is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 5 slimeballs with Looting III.

==== Pandas ====

Baby [[panda]]s have a {{frac|1|700}} chance of [[drop]]ping one slimeball when sneezing.

=== Crafting ===

{{Crafting
  |Slime Block
  |Output= Slimeball,9
  |type= Miscellaneous
}}

=== Trading ===

[[Wandering trader]]s sometimes offer to sell a slimeball for 4 [[emerald]]s.

== Usage ==

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage}}

=== Breeding ===

Slimeballs can be used to breed [[frog]]s and reduce the remaining growth duration of [[tadpole]]s by 10%. Both also follow a player holding a slimeball.

==Video==
{{Video note|This video is outdated, as slimeballs can now also be used to craft [[lead]]s and [[slime block]]s, breed [[frog]]s, and can now be obtained from baby [[panda]]s and [[wandering trader]]s.}}

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.
