A few days ago, this thread got me wondering how few items one could defeat the enderdragon with. @OtherGreenGamer had some amazing accomplishments using little to no armor and slight use of weapons (although having tools such as ladders and pickaxes to help). I decided to go a step further, limiting myself to no items at all. No armor, weapon, tools, or even food.

The rules for this challenge are as follows.

• Must be in Hard Mode.
• Must not have ANYTHING in your inventory at the start.
• May plant chorus fruits around the island. This allows you to eat and not starve.
• Must NOT use chorus fruit for anything besides eating (no using the plants to help kill enderman, climbing up plants, etc).
• May die, although the fewer deaths, the better.
• Must record a video while doing the challenge (no splices) to ensure that rules are being followed.
• Must use playing 1.12.2 vanilla.
• Must use a random seed.

Anything you are able to pick up on the island (enderpearls, chorus fruit, iron bars broken by explosions, etc) is fair game. My record is 3 hours and 20 minutes, roughly, with 19 deaths.

Best of luck!

@Gminipug14 How......

Practice and too many hours of trial and error, lol.

I really like this idea. It is a lot of tedious work to get the patterns down, and getting used to the particular heights of your obby towers. It's really interesting to see what speedrun-esque tactics people can come up with while doing a thing over and over until perfection. Doing this, you do develop skills whether useful or not, so hey, atleast you get something for all that work.

I'm sure @NerdieBirdieYT can attest to that as much as I can.

Absolutely! I learned a lot about the dragon's attack patterns, about endermen, about enderpearls, and chorus fruit, and some other tricks. It is certainly very difficult and time-consuming, but it teaches you a lot.

The unedited video either had an issue uploading or is just taking a heck of a lot longer than expected (it's been uploading all night). The link should hopefully be working in a few hours, and the edited video will go up today as well.

Sounds fun
Not doing it

The UNEDITED video is now up. If you don't want to watch for 3 hours and 20 minutes, then wait until I upload the edited version on Wednesday.

are y0uu allowed to have a waterbucket

@MaggiAusDaKann are y0uu allowed to have a waterbucket

Nope. Can't have anything that isn't from the island aside from chorus fruit, and even that you have to harvest yourself.

Impossible! XD

@MaggiAusDaKann Impossible! XD

Very much possible! Just takes practice.

The edited video has been uploaded! Enjoy!
