How to Break an End Crystal in Minecraft

You are in the End ready to defeat the dragon. Yes! He's almost dead....how is he regaining his health?! The end crystals?

1. Know why everyone says to break the crystals. Yes, he is regaining his health from the crystals. That's why. You may have tried climbing up to the top of the pillars to break them but then you take damage and fall of the pillar and die with all your tools and armor!

2. If you want to break it while being near the crystal, build a stairway. Don't use ladders or vines and don't try building your way up either. You'll have a more likely chance of getting pushed off by the dragon if you do that. You can also use ender pearls to teleport up there, but beware. You take damage.

3. Try shooting it. It actually does break. Most people think you have the use a bow and arrow, but you can actually use snowballs, eggs, or even a fishing pole.

4. Repeat with all of the pillars.
