Use for the Dragon Egg

I'm not saying that it has to be hatched so you can train the dragon but there should be some kind of use for it.

    There already are two uses.  1. Decoration     2. It shows you killed the Ender dragon.

    @Bilbo_ Baggins it should have some gameplay purposes. Maybe placing it in the overworld triggers an event. Does anyone have ideas for what that event could be?

    Put this in the gameplay section.  Endermen might be drawn toward it.  For example, when an enderman teleports, it might teleport 3 blocks toward the dragon egg in addition to its regular teleportation.

    I’m with you! It’s kinda a cool trophy, but that’s what the dragon head is for! If you kill the Whither, you get a nether star, which is access to a super powerful beacon which is awesome! The enderdragon gives you access to the elytra and stuff, but how cool would it be for the egg to be hatchable and create a tameable dragon mount. Or maybe use it and a beacon and other major drops from other bosses (more bosses please!!!) and place them in a certain place to access a super boss!

    I mean, the obvious thing would be to use the egg to spawn another ender dragon. Perhaps editing the way the dragon can be re spawned right now to include the dragon egg. Then you get another egg as a reward. The problem is, if you lose the egg there is no way to get another...

    So the next thing is to hatch a pet dragon. It makes too much sense to ignore.


    Another option is that the egg interacts with endermen in some way. Endermen cannot hurt you while you hold the egg, something like that.

    The other thing ender related that comes to mind is teleporting, perhaps the egg is an infinite use ender pearl?

    It should grow up(feeding or just wait) then it should be rideable.

    I think ender dragon egg should only hatch in overworld and can go in nether but it can't go in the end ang can't destroy block. If fully grow it should be smaller so it can land in jungle biomes or other places that has many trees.

    I think you should be able to use the dragon egg on a beacon to start this mini post game quest. It could spawn 3 elemental dragons(obviously not as big as the end dragon) that you would have to track down and collect their loot which you can then use to summon a new mini boss that has multiple elemental attacks

    You can actually do a ritual to respawn the ender dragon by using the egg, watch a YouTube tutorial on how to do this.

    a boy can dream: "this is what I think"

    The Dragon Egg should be the key to getting to the sky dimension. Once you collect the egg, you should enchant it, should cost 30 exp bars. Then you should be given a choice, if you want to hatch it, you can do it in 3 ways.

    Option 1: if doing it in the End dimension, you have to put the egg on top of a end crystal, then when it hatches(how ever Long that maybe) it should hatch into a tamable ender Dragon.  It has all its abilities except maybe its "destroy all blocks upon contact" thing, maybe it could even be the red dragon that was announced but never implement into the game. the red indicating that its tamable. 

    Option 2: If hatching the egg in the nether, it should be enclosed by netherite blocks covered by lava. (like an oven) and when it hatches(how ever long that may be) it hatches as a tamable phenix. and simply its ridable and catches things on fire(upon contact or fire burst ability). Probably gives the player fire resistance. 

    Finally: if you want to hatch it in the over world, place it on-top of a fully powered beacon, only using emeralds, with only the healing effect active. When it hatches it would be a huge, white, glimmery, bird, tamable, ridable, and once its fully grown(however long that may take) if you fly it high enough you teleport to the the new and cool, sky dimension. (a fun place where you Can fly, because why not?).. gives Healing affect. 

    maybe there could be another version you could do if you do it underwater.  would be cool if 4 players could ride these dragons at the same time, so as to make multiplayer fun.

    If you think about the Minecraft lore, it is the lone egg, and the last of her species. I would say it is better to just serve as a reminder of the dragon
