How to Obtain and Use Dragon's Breath in Minecraft

To collect Dragon's Breath, you need to fight the Ender Dragon, the game's final boss. Follow these step-by-step instructions to successfully obtain this rare resource:

• Locate the End Portal:

  • Use Eyes of Ender to find a stronghold. Throw the Eye of Ender (right-click), and it will fly toward the nearest stronghold. Repeat this process until the Eye goes underground, indicating the location of the stronghold.
  • Dig down to find the portal room in the stronghold. Note that the portal activates only when all its frames are filled with Eyes of Ender.
  • Sometimes, the portal may already have a few Eyes installed, but in most cases, you’ll need to place them yourself. Up to 12 Eyes of Ender are needed to activate the portal.
    

• How to Craft Eyes of Ender:

  • To craft an Eye of Ender, you will need the following materials:
    • Ender Pearl (obtained from Endermen).
      
    • Blaze Powder (crafted from Blaze Rods dropped by Blazes in the Nether).
      
  • Open the crafting table and place the Ender Pearl and Blaze Powder in any slot. You will get an Eye of Ender as a result.
    

• Gather Essential Items: In addition to standard combat gear for fighting the dragon (armor, weapons, food), you’ll need:

  • Empty glass bottles (crafted from three glass blocks at a crafting table).
    
  • A bow or crossbow to destroy End Crystals.
  • Ladders, blocks, or Elytra for maneuvering.

• When the dragon attacks, it releases a purple gas cloud (Dragon's Breath). This cloud damages players standing inside it.
• Approach the cloud with glass bottles in hand and right-click to collect the Dragon's Breath. The collected item will appear in your inventory.
  
• Note that the cloud dissipates quickly, so act fast.

If the cloud disappears, wait for the dragon to attack again. Always carry a sufficient supply of glass bottles since each bottle fills individually.

The main use of Dragon's Breath is to create lingering potions with effects. This type of potion creates a cloud that lingers on the ground for a while, dealing damage or applying effects to players and mobs.

1. Crafting Potions:

   • Place a regular potion in a brewing stand.
   • Add gunpowder to turn it into a splash potion.
   • Add Dragon's Breath to turn the splash potion into a lingering potion.

2. Examples of Lingering Potions:

   • Harming Potion: Creates an area that damages mobs and players.
   • Slowness Potion: Slows down anyone in its area of effect.
   • Poison Potion: Deals sustained damage to mobs and players over time.

• Lingering potions are useful in PvP battles as they can affect multiple opponents simultaneously.
• They can also be used to deal with groups of mobs in dungeons or XP farms.

Dragon's Breath is a valuable resource that unlocks new possibilities in potion crafting. Collect it carefully and use it wisely to gain an edge in the game.
