While in its fire-breathing phase where it sits on the central fountain in the End, the Ender Dragon is immune to damage. Hitting with it a sword or shooting it with a bow does nothing. While it is flying around, it seemingly takes damage normally.
As a side note, the Wither also seems to take damage normally.

Yes, particles appear when the hit connects, and I believe it made a sound like I was hitting it, but it took no damage. It was consistent across different test worlds as well.

Yes, that’s probably the same issue (I didn’t test different parts of its body). Sorry for the duplicate.

It's meant to be immune to bows, but are you sure you hit it on its hitbox with your sword?
