Ender Dragon Visual Indicator For Arrow Shield

When the Ender Dragon is perching on the exit portal, it is completely immune to arrows and they bounce off harmlessly.  When I first fought the dragon, this was confusing and it took me a while to realize when it was immune to arrows and when it was not because there is no action or visual on the dragon that shows when it is immune to arrows.  The lack of a change is also jarring and makes the boss feel incomplete.  Having a clear indicator would be consistent with how the other boss, the Wither, shows a white aura barrier around it when it is immune to arrows below half health. 

If the visual indicator is a barrier similar to the wither, it should be done in a way that keeps the breath attack during perching distinct and easy to see.  Maybe the shield is a different shade of purple if not an entirely separate color.  It is hard to say exactly how it should look besides that it should not be exactly like the Wither's shield.

    I totally agree with this, the dragon fight needs an indication for when the dragon is immune to arrows. Its very confusing to new players especially when in multiplayer servers arrows bouncing off stuff can sometimes be a visual client side effect due to lag.
