How to hatch a dragon egg Minecraft

The dragon egg.

The great trophy that you acquire from your final boss within Minecraft. An item that is one of it’s kind considering how you can gain the item, but it’s also a unique item that draws a great deal of speculation from Minecraft players, especially new ones.

In this article we shall answer such a question and hope to cover all the topics that come with it.

Before we can entertain hatching the egg, you are first going to need to acquire it from the ender dragon. To get to the ender dragon you will need access to an end portal, which can only be found in strongholds within survival mode.

If you plan to nix such an idea and plan to go straight to building your own end portal, just keep in mind that you should be in the center of the portal you are creating, otherwise it just might not work at all.

Once you’ve entered the end through your preferred method of access, you will then be greeted by a host of Endermen and an irate ender dragon.

Once all of these threats are dealt with, you will finally reach the coveted prize of acquiring the dragon egg. Something to keep in mind however, is that you cannot acquire the dragon egg, just by hitting. Doing so will only cause it to teleport, which will make holding it a difficult prospect. You will need to have a pick block in order to successfully gain the item.
