End crystal pushed by pistons is indestructible after the Ender Dragon respawns

If pistons push an end crystal off its obsidian pillar while it's respawning the dragon, the end crystal will be completely invulnerable after the dragon respawns (or after the respawn sequence is interrupted). It can only be destroyed by players in Creative mode.

How to reproduce

  1. Kill the Ender Dragon

  2. Respawn the dragon by placing an end crystal on each of the four sides of the fountain

  3. Wait until you see an end crystal on a pillar get targeted and replaced

  4. Use pistons to push that crystal off its obsidian pillar

  5. Wait for the dragon to respawn
    ❌ The crystal continues to emit a beam into the sky

  6. Try to destroy the crystal while in Survival mode
    ❌ The crystal is invulnerable

Is this still an issue in the most recent versions (currently that is 1.12.2, or the latest 1.13 development snapshot 18w07c) of Minecraft?

If so, please update the affected versions and help us keeping this ticket updated from time to time. If you are the owner/reporter of this ticket, you can modify the affected version(s) yourself.

For some reason I recieved an email saying that this bug report is reopened. But I did not see the same issue in 1.16.1. Sorry for a very late reply.

We have had other users reproduce and report this as well, so the ticket has been reopened because of that.

Sorry again. I forgot what I posted here. This is clearly happenning in 1.16.1. I can still reproduce this.

Can confirm that this is still an issue in 20w51a.

Can confirm in 21w05b.
