Mending Crystalling

No. 51

A small floating crystal that never attacks. It hangs back behind the fight and ties a beam of violet light to the most hurt End creature within twelve blocks, healing it one heart a second. The creature it mends glows. It keeps that creature between itself and you.

Home

The End's main island, once the dragon is dead.

Tell

None: its beam locks on with a soft chime the moment something near it is hurt. Follow the line of light back to the crystal.

Counter

Kill it first. Any hit at all breaks it, even a snowball or the weakest arrow. It shatters, the creature it was mending stops glowing and healing, and it leaves a void crystal behind.

Liftstone Monolith

No. 52

The End's apex: a towering slab of end stone with a capstone floating over it. It drifts slowly across the island and pulls everything round it into the air.

Home

The End's main island, once the dragon is dead. Rare: only one stands in any stretch of it.

Tell

Its capstone rises and the runes down its face light one by one from the bottom, with a deep rising hum. When the last rune lights, everything within six blocks is lifted six blocks into the air, held, and slammed down hard.

Counter

Get a roof over your head: any solid block within three blocks above you stops the pull, and you stay on the ground. A pull that catches on a roof jars its capstone, which splits after the slam and shows the gold heart inside: for four seconds it has no armor.

Astral Augur

No. 53

A tall, robed star-reader with a halo of orbiting star motes that keeps its distance. Every five seconds it reads the stars over whatever it hunts within sixteen blocks: circles of starlight open on the ground under and behind its prey, then strike down hard.

Home

The End's main island once the dragon is dead, and the End highlands. Alone.

Tell

It raises both hands high and its motes spin faster with a rising chime, while three rings of star-white light fill in on the ground: one under you and two behind you.

Counter

Step out of the circles; stepping toward it always gets you clear. Or hit it while it channels: the circles fade, and one of its motes cracks off and falls as a star mote. Every mote it loses is one circle fewer.

Nullcantor

No. 54

A tall, hooded chanter with a hollow face and a wide choir collar. It never stops singing: within eight blocks of it, marked by a violet ring on the ground and a low hum, the enchantments on your gear do nothing at all. Curses still hold.

Home

The End's main island once the dragon is dead, and the End barrens. Alone.

Tell

Up close it raises both arms and its chant swells for half a second, then it brings its arms down on you.

Counter

Fight it from outside the ring with a bow or a trident, or walk in with plain gear and step back from its swing. A hit from outside the ring knocks its collar off: the ring stays where the collar fell for eight seconds, so lead it away and fight it with your enchantments working.

Chorus Grazer

No. 55

A placid, woolly grazer with chorus growing from its back. It never attacks. Startle one and the whole herd blinks a few blocks away and stays wary for a while. Feed two of them chorus fruit and they bring a calf.

Home

End highlands, in herds of two to four, wandering among the chorus.

Tell

It has no warning to watch for: it never fights. A hurt grazer, or a player sprinting close by, sends the herd blinking away with a soft pop.

Counter

Walk up to it, don't sprint, and shear it for one or two purpur fleece. Only chorus fruit grows the fleece back: drop one near a shorn grazer and it walks over to eat it. A startled herd shies from you for five seconds and can't be sheared until it settles.

Warpseed Bloom

No. 57

A chorus flower grown into a turret: a knotted stalk rooted where it grew, with a violet bulb on top. It never moves, and spits slow lilac warpseeds at anything within sixteen blocks. A seed that hits deals a little damage and throws you three to six blocks in a random direction, always onto safe ground.

Home

End highlands, alone.

Tell

Its bulb swells, its veins glow lilac and it creaks higher and higher, then it spits the seed.

Counter

Step out of the seed's path, or raise a shield toward the bloom. A blocked seed bursts back on the bloom and tears its bulb: for five seconds it hangs split and dark and spits nothing, so walk in and cut it down.

Home

The End highlands and midlands, alone.

Tell

Before it strikes, a shimmer rises where it stands, its outline shows for a moment and it hisses.

Counter

Watch the ground for its footprints and hit it with anything you can throw or shoot: a snowball, an egg, an arrow, a trident or a wind charge. For ten seconds it is seen and glows faintly, and it flinches back from the hit, which breaks off a strike. Then fight it in the open.

Riftjackal

No. 59

A lean, long-legged jackal of void-black hide with violet rift light down its spine. The pack circles you and blinks in one at a time: each jackal tears through to your side or back and bites as it lands, and leaves a flat violet rift on the ground where it vanished. For three seconds the rift throws anyone who steps in eight blocks away, always onto safe ground.

Home

End highlands, in packs of two or three.

Tell

It crouches low, its spine light flares and it hums, and a violet shimmer gathers on the ground beside or behind you where it will land.

Counter

Turn to face the shimmer before it lands. Caught in your sight, the jackal is thrown eight blocks away through its own rift, which snaps shut: no bite and no rift left behind. Keep track of the rifts and step around them.

Chorus Husk

No. 60

A shambling husk overgrown with chorus, fat violet pods bursting from its back and shoulders. It fights with its claws, and when it dies it doesn't fall: its pods swell for a second and burst, flinging everything within four blocks away as if they had eaten chorus fruit.

Home

End highlands, alone or in pairs.

Tell

Before a blow it rears both arms back over its head. When it dies its pods bulge and glow lilac and a crackle rises for a second before the burst.

Counter

Back out of the four-block burst while it swells. A burst that catches no player leaves two whole chorus fruit behind. Among other mobs, let the burst scatter them instead.

A hunched, robed rift-weaver holding a ring of violet light between its hands. It keeps its distance, and every four seconds it opens a gate behind whatever it hunts within sixteen blocks and fires a bolt out of it into its prey's back.

Home

End highlands, alone.

Tell

Its hands glow and its ring spins up, and with a rising whine a violet ring of light opens in the air three to five blocks behind you, at chest height. The gate turns to follow you for a moment, then holds still just before the bolt.

Counter

When you hear the whine, turn round: step aside once the gate stops turning, or raise a shield toward it. A blocked bolt goes back through the gate and drags the caster out after it, right in front of you, where its own bolt bursts at its feet.

Hollowmind

No. 62

A small void parasite, a cleft dome with a lilac core and trailing tendrils. It creeps toward any enderman within sixteen blocks, climbs onto its head and rides it: the enderman turns on you, moves faster, hits half again as hard and no longer fears water or rain.

Home

End highlands, alone.

Tell

Before it climbs on it crouches flat beside the enderman, all six tendrils reach straight up and its core swells with a wet pulse, for a full second. Up close it rears and opens its little maw before it nips.

Counter

Hit the parasite itself: on the enderman's head it glows gold. Kill it there and the enderman calms down and leaves you be. Kill the enderman instead and the parasite drops off and scurries for another one within sixteen blocks; you have five seconds to finish it.

Pearlgulp

No. 63

A squat, wide-mouthed void creature with a glowing pouch under its jaw. It watches the air for ender pearls: one thrown within eight blocks of it is snapped up and swallowed, and its thrower stays where they stood. Each pearl it holds lets it blink eight blocks once, to close on its target or to get away when badly hurt. Its pouch glows a little brighter for each pearl inside.

Home

End highlands and the small End islands, alone.

Tell

Before a blink toward you its throat flares: it rears up, its mouth opens and the pouch blazes lilac-white. Before it bites, its jaw drops wide.

Counter

Don't throw pearls near it. If it has eaten yours, stand and fight: it only blinks to reach a target far off or to flee once badly hurt, and each blink burns one of your pearls. Kill it and it spills every pearl it ate, even the ones it burnt.

Tell

It paws the ground, snorts and lowers its horns for a second while dust kicks up.

Counter

Keep solid ground at your back when it paws. Or stand at an edge and step aside: a charge that runs out of ground goes over most of the time, and its drop is left at the brink. If it skids to a stop and teeters with its rump glowing gold, one hit tips it over.

Facet Doppel

A broad figure of faceted mirror-glass. The first player it sees, it copies: their armor, and the attack damage of whatever they hold, with a glass copy of it in its hand. A bare hand copies as a fist. Enchantments and effects don't carry over, and the copy never changes after.

Home

End midlands, alone.

Tell

When it first sees you it stands still and flickers for a second, its facets shimmering, then rings like struck glass: that is the moment it copies you. Before each blow it raises its glass copy overhead and brings it down a quarter harder than your weapon hits without its enchantments.

Counter

Meet it holding something weak, or switch to something weak while it flickers, then switch to your best weapon. A blow from a weapon that outclasses its copy shatters its facets: the armor it copied is gone for good.

Shardling Colossus

No. 66

A heavy golem of violet void crystal with a glowing seam down its middle. Hit hard, it splits along the seam into two smaller halves that fight on.

Home

End midlands, alone.

Tell

Before it slams, its seam cracks and glows and it raises both arms with a grinding note, while lilac dust marks how far the slam reaches in front of it. Step back or to the side.

Counter

One blow of six hearts or more splits it in two: a fully charged critical hit (strike as you fall from a jump) with a netherite sword or any axe but a wooden or golden one, or a mace smash. A plain sword swing falls short, even with Sharpness V. Wearing it below half health splits it too. Kill one half within five seconds: if both still live then, they walk together and rejoin with their health added up, and a rejoined colossus never splits again. Split it with one heavy blow and kill both halves inside those five seconds, and each drops its own void crystal; worn in two, or killed slower, it drops only one.

Home

Tell

Watch the sand: the top of its hourglass runs empty while it is solid. When it is empty the walker flickers, the sand runs back up and a chime rings, and half a second later it fades out.

Counter

Strike while it is solid, and don't hide behind a wall: it walks through. Hit it hard enough in one solid spell and its glass cracks; from then on it leaks sand, and every time it fades out the leak costs it health.

Home

End midlands, alone.

Tell

It draws its blade back with a whisper of steel and a glint at the tip, then lunges three blocks straight ahead. Its afterimage stays where it struck; half a second later the afterimage draws back with a fainter, higher whisper, glinting, and lunges along that same line.

Counter

After the first lunge, step sideways out of the afterimage's line before it repeats. Better still, back away along the line: the fencer follows you into it, and its own afterimage runs it through and cracks the hourglass in its hilt, spilling time sand.

Swellshade

Home

End midlands. Alone.

Tell

Before it strikes it rears back with both arms raised high. Before it swells it draws a long breath and lilac motes stream into it; the cracks in its belly glow wider with every swell.

Counter

Kill it early, while it is small: a fresh shade is a short fight. A full-size one has twice the health and hits twice as hard, but drops two more void ichor.

A ring of amber motes turning on the ground marks the field, and it ticks like a clock. Before it bites it rears its front up and spreads its mandibles.

The End midlands and highlands, alone, perched on end stone or chorus.

Tell

As the stare fills, its huge eyes widen and glow brighter, a hoot rises in pitch and a thin line of motes runs from its eyes to you. Up close it draws its head back before it pecks.

Counter

Break its line of sight: a block, a pillar or a corner between you starts the stare over. Or hit it once: it flutters off and drops the stare. Hit it while its mark is on you and the mark ends at once, and the mobs it called turn on the owl.

It plants its feet and heaves its anchor up over its shoulder, chains rattling and grit falling, while a dark violet ring settles on the ground where the anchor will come down.

Counter

Step out of the ring before the anchor falls. A hit makes you Heavy for six seconds: no jumping, you fall faster, and Slow Falling and Levitation won't hold; any Slow Falling it took comes back when the weight lifts. An anchor that strikes bare stone leaves a sink: while the golem stands in it, its anchor is held to the ground, it can't raise it and it drags itself at half speed. Back away across the sink and hit it as it comes. Killing it lifts its weight at once.

Anything standing in the stain takes half a heart every second, whatever armor it wears, and is weakened.

Just before each spread, the stain's edge darkens and throbs where the next ring will land, the cup swells and its drips lengthen.

Tell

Before it strikes it raises its arm and its clock hands whirl with a winding click. While its face glows it can wind itself back; just after a rewind, and for good once its anchor is broken, the face goes dark.

Home

End barrens, always as a pair.

Before a staff blow it lifts its staff high. When one falls it lies as a crystal husk: its twin turns to it, raises its arms and holds a beam of light from its eye to the husk for five seconds, with a rising hum, while the husk's cracks glow brighter. If the beam runs its course, the fallen one stands again with half its health.

Kill the twin while it holds the beam. It stands still and doesn't fight back while it channels, and a pair killed within those five seconds stays dead for good. Stepping between them or behind a wall doesn't break the beam: only the second kill does.

Feed it a chorus fruit, wait until the pearl at its shell's mouth is full and round, then use shears on it for one ender pearl. Don't hit it: a snail shut in its shell can't be fed or sheared until it comes out. A snail that dies gives back its pearl, or the chorus fruit if the pearl hadn't grown yet.

Wingshear

No. 87

A narrow, swept-wing hunter of the high sky. It leaves anyone on their feet alone and hunts only players gliding on elytra, from up to forty-eight blocks away, faster than a plain glide.

Home

The open sky over the outer End islands, alone or in pairs.

Tell

Beside you in the air it screeches for most of a second: its blade wings flare, their edges light up lilac and sparks stream off the tips. Then it dives through you.

Counter

Fire a rocket. It can't keep up with a boosted glide, and once you pull eight blocks clear it loses you and circles off. Or land: it never touches anyone on their feet. Its dive knocks you out of the glide and keeps your wings shut for two seconds.

Grand Orrery

No. 88

The outer islands' apex: a floating clockwork of three tilted rings round a star core. It keeps its distance and fills the air with star motes in patterns, and each mote that lands goes partly past armor.

Home

The sky near the End's outer islands. Rare: only one turns in any wide stretch of sky.

Tell

Before every pattern its rings spin up, their studs light white, a chime climbs and motes gather into the core. Then comes a spiral, a double ring or an aimed burst of three volleys.

Counter

Every pattern leaves lanes wider than you are: stand in one and nothing touches you, and the lanes widen the farther out you stand. After each pattern the rings part and the core opens gold for three seconds while it sinks to your height: no armor, and it takes double damage.

Resonant Triad

No. 89

Three small floating crystal tuning forks that hover round you in a loose triangle and sing in turn. The one singing glows gold and hums. While all three live it is the only one a blow can hurt: the dim two shrug every hit off with a ping. Each of them zaps whoever it hunts with a crackle of violet light.

Home

The open sky and the end highlands, always three together.

Tell

Every three seconds the song passes on: half a second before, the next fork brightens white and the chord rises. Before a zap a fork's tines spark and crackle for a moment.

Counter

Strike the gold one while it sings. Kill it and the chord breaks: the other two crack, stop singing and take blows like any other mob. When a fork crackles, step five blocks away and its zap misses.

Driftsong

No. 90

A vast, gentle leviathan with wide fin-wings and a back of starry patches. It never attacks. Every twenty seconds it sings, and every player within twenty-four blocks of it is given Slow Falling for ten seconds.

Home

The void below the outer End islands, alone, drifting far beneath them.

Tell

For a second before the song its back lights up star-white and its fin-wings lift. The song is a long, low call that carries far.

Counter

There is nothing to fight: the song is a gift. Stay within twenty-four blocks of it when it sings and a fall off an island near it won't hurt you. Strike it and it dives ten blocks deeper and drifts on, taking its song out of your reach.
