Me and my dad were fighting the ender dragon, we destroyed all of the crystals and the ender dragon stop shooting balls at us and just flew around. it never came down to the middle or shot at us or flew toward us.
Notes: This may be caused by the death of a player. Closing the server and reopening it fixes it.

it was in normal
Still appearing in 1.16.5 in multiplayer (with 2 players). Difficulty was normal and the gamerule "keepInventory" was true.
May there be a connection with the new gamerules "forgiveDeadPlayers" and "universalAnger"?
My son and I had the same issue in a vanilla hard-difficulty game on the official Mojang realms servers. Version 1.16.5.
The first time we beat the dragon, it would perch as usual.
The second time (after respawning her), she would never perch. We had to beat her with arrows. (Maybe it's just legit that sometimes you have to do that?)
3rd time we respawned her, she did perch again.
If it helps, here's the game seed: -632332104.
Can confirm on hard difficulty on multiplayer (self-hosted server java edition 1.16.5). First time the fight was normal, then we respawned it and it never attacked or perched after destroying the end crystals.
Same bug as MC-201937, this bug first appeared in 19w08b and is a major Ender Dragon behavior bug. My report was marked as invalid with no reasoning.
Can confirm in 1.19.3
Can confirm in 1.20.4
@unknown: Please confirm issues only in the latest version or the latest snapshot.
Apologies if I get this wrong as this is my first post.
On 1.21.1 (loaded "latest version" on 4 July 2024), multiplayer server. Only user however.
When I entered the end I triggered the Dragon and it was spewing Dragon breath. However I teleported home and back and then the dragon did not behave normally. It circled, never landed, never shot fireballs, never spewed dragon breath.
Upon first destroying all beacons, it did not take damage, but teleporting out and back allowed me to kill it. When it died, it gave me all the expected XP but only produced a single XP orb !!
Oh and as it circled, it disappeared whenever it moved slightly farther away, reappearing as it turned. I have fought the dragon before and this was all very odd.
Difficulty was EASY.
[May not be relevant but as I went into the end portal to reach the end, I actually dropped through the green star field and sat on the lava underneath for a second or two. No burning. There was "lag" almost as the End thought about creating...and then I went there. Adding that for completeness.]
Hope that helps someone.
What difficulty is the game set to?
