Can Ender Dragon destroy Obsidian?
Direct Answer:
According to the official Minecraft mechanics, the Ender Dragon can destroy almost all blocks in the game, with some exceptions. Obsidian, being one of those blocks, is immune to destruction by the Ender Dragon. In other words, the Ender Dragon cannot destroy obsidian.
Why Ender Dragon Can’t Destroy Obsidian:
The Ender Dragon is a formidable force in Minecraft, but there are some blocks that even it can’t harm. Obsidian, naturally generating on the central End Island, is one of these blocks. This is because obsidian has been hardcoded into the game’s physics to be indestructible. When the Ender Dragon tries to destroy an obsidian block, it will simply bounce off it and continue to destroy everything else around it.
List of Blocks Not Destroyable by Ender Dragon:
- End Stone: Similar to obsidian, end stone naturally generating on the central End Island is immune to the Ender Dragon’s attacks.
- Crying Obsidian: This indestructible block can only be obtained by killing a sea captain or finding a fishing treasure. The Ender Dragon won’t touch it.
- Respawn Anchors: Used in the Ender dragon boss fight, respawn anchors provide a way for players to respawn and try again without losing all their progress.
- Netherportals: These gates provide a link between the overworld and the nether, allowing players to access the lower dimension.
- Enderpearls: Although the Ender Dragon can destroy everything in its path, including your base and inventory, the Enderpearl in your hand will not disappear.
When Obsidian is Damaged by Other Means:
It is possible to damage or remove obsidian in creative world or multiplayer server mode if you are not fighting an Ender Dragon. Use the /give or /setblock commands in survival mode, or find or craft other items capable of destroying obsidian like redstone, magma blocks, lava, or other external mods.
Conclusive Results:
To sum up, the Ender Dragon cannot destroy obsidian and other specified blocks naturally. This exception ensures a strong foundation for building a challenging and memorable end game fight. In this situation, the player can strategically exploit this feature to preserve certain structures and blocks that help them defeat the Ender Dragon.
