Dragon Egg Hatching: Difference between revisions

To start hatching the egg, trap an endermite on top of the dragon egg. The endermite will disappear and particles will start to appear. If the egg is being hatched in the overworld, endermites will start to spawn around the egg. Endermites will slow down the process of hatching, while endermen will speed up the hatching process. Additionally, if on top of a lit furnace, the egg will hatch faster. More particles will appear if the egg is close to hatching. If the egg is moved or broken at any time during the hatching process, the hatching will fail. Once fully hatched, lightning will strike the egg and a new dragon will spawn. Defeating the ender dragon will spawn an end portal at it's location.

Hatching the egg requires there to be sky access directly above the egg, if there is a block above the egg, the hatching will fail. The portal will always spawn at Y=64, replacing any blocks above it with air. The portal will teleport the player to the obsidian platform, exactly like a stronghold portal.
