Upon killing your first enemy, you usually get the Monster Hunter advancement in Minecraft. But what about killing the Ender Dragon? It seems impossible since you need to kill Enderman and Blazes to obtain the necessary items for the Eyes of Ender.
However, I found a way to do it even on a random seed. Instead of relying on a rare end portal with 12 eyes, you can get an Enderman in a boat and kill it with lava. This method won’t trigger the Monster Hunter advancement.
Another alternative is trading with piglins to obtain Ender Pearls. This can be easier than hunting Enderman. However, obtaining Blaze Rods from Blazes is much harder.
I tried various methods to kill Blazes without triggering the Monster Hunter advancement, but most of them failed. However, I had success by placing TNT above the Blaze spawner and getting a Blaze to shoot and ignite it. This way, the Blaze is technically killing itself, and you can obtain both Blaze Rods and Ender Pearls without triggering the advancement.
If you’re interested in seeing this in action, I will be streaming it live on Twitch soon. Stay tuned and witness the Ender Dragon as my first enemy kill!
