Ender Dragon

The Ender Dragon is a formidable boss that relies on Ender Crystals mounted on tall obsidian pillars for healing, making it vital to destroy these first. Its arsenal includes spewing Dragon Breath and fireballs, which create lingering damage zones that can rapidly drain your health. The dragon also executes a Charge Attack, swooping down to knock players back.

During its Perch Phase, it lands on the End Portal, offering a brief window of vulnerability to melee attacks. This is your golden opportunity to deal substantial damage with a Sharpness V sword.
Wither

The Wither is one of Minecraft's most feared and destructive boss mobs. This three-headed, floating undead entity requires players to assemble it manually by arranging three Wither Skeleton skulls on a T-shaped structure made of soul sand or soul soil. Once unleashed, the Wither wreaks havoc and attacks anything in its path, primarily in the Overworld, but it can also be summoned in the Nether or the End.

Upon summoning, the Wither charges up and unleashes a massive explosion. It launches black and blue Wither Skulls, with the blue ones being more potent and undetectable. Its attacks inflict the Wither effect, causing health to drain over time. When its health drops below 50%, the Wither becomes immune to arrows, enters Berserk Mode, and charges at players while regenerating health.

For the Wither fight, arm yourself with a fully enchanted Netherite sword with Smite V and a Power V bow. Don full Netherite armor with Protection IV or Blast Protection IV to withstand explosions. Carry Strength II, Regeneration, and Healing potions, as well as Milk buckets to counter the Wither effect. Golden Apples and Totems of Undying can provide extra healing.
To engage, summon the Wither underground in a confined space to restrict its movement. Use the bow for long-range attacks until its health dips below 50%, then switch to the Smite V sword for close combat. Use obsidian or cobblestone to block its projectiles, and heal as necessary.
Warden
Image: ensigame.com
The Warden is a formidable, blind mob found in the Deep Dark biome, often near Ancient Cities. It's designed to be an overwhelming force for players who venture too close without caution. The Warden remains non-hostile unless provoked but becomes incredibly dangerous upon detecting vibrations.

Blind but highly sensitive to vibrations from movement or block interactions, the Warden delivers devastating melee attacks that can kill even well-armored players. It also uses a sonic boom for long-range damage, ignoring obstacles. With high health and resistance, defeating it is a daunting task. The best strategy is avoidance—sneak to prevent detection.

If combat is unavoidable, use a Power V bow from a distance and a Sharpness V Netherite sword for close encounters. Wear full Netherite armor with Protection IV and carry milk buckets to remove Slowness. Equip Night Vision, Regeneration, Healing, and Speed potions to stay alert and agile. If the Warden gets too close, use Ender Pearls or take cover, minimizing noise to escape safely.
Ravager

The Ravager is a massive, aggressive beast that appears during Pillager Raids on villages. It often comes alone or with a Pillager, Evoker, or Vindicator riding on its back. With high health and immense strength, the Ravager is a formidable raid mob, capable of destroying crops, leaves, and certain blocks as it charges through a village.

The Ravager is a colossal, hostile beast that spawns during Pillager Raids. It boasts high health and deals devastating melee attacks, often carrying Pillagers, Evokers, or Vindicators on its back. It charges at players, breaking leaves, crops, and some blocks in its path. It can also roar, knocking players back and disabling shields.

To defeat it, use a Power V bow from a distance before switching to a Sharpness V or Smite V Netherite sword for close combat. Wear Protection IV armor and bring Regeneration and Healing potions for sustain. Dodging its charge and attacking from the sides or behind is the best way to minimize damage.
Evoker
Image: ensigame.com
The Evoker is a dangerous spell-casting villager found in Woodland Mansions and during Pillager Raids. It's the only mob that drops the Totem of Undying, making it a valuable target. Despite its low health, the Evoker poses a major threat due to its powerful magical attacks.

It employs three main attacks: summoning Fangs that emerge from the ground, Vexes—flying minions that deal high damage—and a defensive spell that turns nearby sheep red. The Evoker has low health but can deal significant damage if not dealt with quickly.
Image: ensigame.com
To defeat it, use a Power V bow from a distance or a Sharpness V Netherite sword for a swift melee kill. Wear Protection IV armor and bring Healing and Regeneration potions to survive Vex attacks. Prioritize killing the Evoker first in raids to stop it from summoning Vexes, then deal with the remaining enemies.
Enderman
Image: ensigame.com
The Enderman is a tall, neutral mob found in the Overworld (at night), the Nether, and the End. It turns hostile if a player looks directly at it or attacks it. Endermen can teleport, pick up blocks, and are immune to projectile attacks. They are most commonly found in the End, where they spawn in large numbers.

It becomes hostile when a player looks directly at it or attacks it. Endermen teleport to avoid projectiles and water, making them difficult to hit from a distance. They attack with strong melee hits and can pick up and place blocks.
Image: ensigame.com
To defeat an Enderman, use a Sharpness V sword, as bows are ineffective due to teleportation. Wear a carved pumpkin to avoid provoking them accidentally and use water or a two-block-high shelter for safety. Protection IV armor and Regeneration potions help survive its strong melee attacks.
Piglin Brute
Image: ensigame.com
The Piglin Brute is a powerful, hostile mob found in Bastion Remnants in the Nether. Unlike regular Piglins, it's always aggressive, does not barter or get distracted by gold, and wields a golden axe. With high health and strong melee attacks, the Piglin Brute is one of the most dangerous mobs in Bastions.

The Piglin Brute is a highly aggressive, stronger variant of the Piglin found in Bastion Remnants. It's always hostile, unaffected by gold, and has high health and powerful melee attacks with a golden axe. It deals massive damage and lacks armor, making it vulnerable to attacks.
Image: ensigame.com
To defeat it, use a Power V bow from a distance or a Sharpness V Netherite sword for quick melee combat. Wear Protection IV Netherite armor to withstand its attacks and bring Regeneration and Strength II potions for extra durability. Fighting from higher ground or using shields can help block its powerful strikes.
Shulker
Image: ensigame.com
The Shulker is a hostile mob found in End Cities in the End dimension. It hides inside a shell and becomes hostile when a player approaches. Shulkers spawn on purpur blocks and attack by shooting homing projectiles that inflict Levitation, making players float and vulnerable to fall damage.

The Shulker is a unique hostile mob found in End Cities. It hides inside a shell and attacks by shooting homing projectiles that inflict Levitation, making players float and vulnerable to fall damage. It can teleport to avoid attacks and closes its shell for high damage resistance.
Image: ensigame.com
To defeat a Shulker, use a Sharpness V sword for melee when its shell is open or a Power V bow if it's hard to reach. Wear Feather Falling boots and use water buckets or Ender Pearls to avoid fall damage. Milk buckets remove Levitation, and Protection IV armor helps mitigate damage.
Phantom
Image: ensigame.com
The Phantom is a hostile flying mob that spawns when a player has not slept for three or more in-game nights. It appears at night, flying above the player, and swoops down to attack. Phantoms spawn in the Overworld, typically above the player, and are more common in areas without light sources.
Attack Patterns & How to Defeat

Phantoms spawn at night and fly above the player, swooping down to deal melee damage. They are weak in health but can cause significant damage if left unchecked. Phantoms also attack in groups, which can overwhelm a player if not dealt with quickly.
Image: ensigame.com
To defeat them, use a Bow with Power V to shoot them from a distance while they fly. A Netherite sword with Sharpness V is effective for close combat if needed. Protection IV armor will help minimize damage, and Regeneration and Healing potions can assist with recovery. Night Vision potions can help spot them more easily in the dark. Additionally, sleeping regularly to avoid spawning them is the best strategy to prevent Phantom encounters.
Hoglin
Image: ensigame.com
The Hoglin is a hostile mob found in the Crimson Forest biome in the Nether. It resembles a large, aggressive pig and roams the area in herds. Hoglins are native to the Nether and are commonly seen in this biome, often near Crimson Fungi.

Hoglins attack with powerful melee charges, dealing substantial damage to players. They drop Raw Porkchops and can be bred with Crimson Fungi. Hoglins are immune to fire but are vulnerable to Warped Fungus, which can be used to lure or repel them.
Image: ensigame.com
To defeat a Hoglin, use a Sharpness V sword for close combat or a Power V bow for long-range attacks. Wear Protection IV armor to reduce the damage from their charges, and bring Regeneration potions for healing. Strength potions will increase damage output, and Warped Fungus can help control Hoglin movement. Fighting them in open areas will prevent getting cornered by their charges.
