[MC-85304] Ender dragons going to XYZ 0 0 0 when spawned in any type of world

Me and my friend were playing Minecraft on the new snapshot and summoned the enderdragon but it was flying away from us so we followed it and it went straight to X 0 Y 0 Z 0 - We tried it in a new world and it did the same thing

Update: Ender dragon will still go to 0 0 0, but will move away shortly thereafter, only to go back to 0 0 0 later on, or just 0 ~ 0 (~ = any Y coordinate)

Moderator note:
The fix of that ticket freezes any sumoned Dragon. If you want your summoned Dragon to fly , use

/summon EnderDragon ~ ~ ~ {DragonPhase:0}

REPLY TO MODERATOR NOTE

That's not a fix. Please change this to unresolved because it isn't resolved. Before this update ended dragons were fine, I don't know why they can't be normal by default

Confirmed.

marcono1234 2015-09-04T10:36:05Z

This behaviour might be valid for the EnderDragon listed in

level.dat > DimensionData > 1 > DragonFight

However for the other EnderDragons it might be invalid.

Implementing this would be probably rather tough, so it would not be suprising if this gets closed as "Works as intended"

You actually CAN stop the Ender Dragon by running the following in repeating command block.

/entitydata @e[type=EnderDragon] {DragonPhase:8}

Try it to find out more.

marcono1234 2016-01-13T19:09:31Z

It appears that the EnderDragon now does not move at all which is not really a fix

user-f2760 2016-01-13T19:11:04Z

I think that's a seperate issue, cause by the "fix" of this one, please create a new ticket

marcono1234 2016-01-13T20:57:53Z

This is rather because the DragonPhase is now defaulted to 10 which is according to Skylinerw's on reddit "hovering".

However setting it to 1 (or other values) still causes him to fly to (0|0|0)

/summon EnderDragon ~ ~ ~ {DragonPhase:1}

[Mod] redstonehelper 2016-01-13T21:27:38Z

This would be a feature request. Also, this is not a discussion forum. You know the drill.

marcono1234 2016-01-14T16:25:17Z

But how is this a fix? The behaviour is basically the same, only the DragonPhase value is defaulted to 10 now. If you want an EnderDragon that stays at the same position you could just set NoAI:1b. Then at least change the resolution to "Won't Fix"

user-f2760 2016-01-14T16:27:47Z

Perhaps you could set the default location (now 0, 0) to the ccords it's summoned in

Anyway, let's move this discussion to the reddit

marcono1234 2016-02-28T13:47:05Z

This reports seems valid. The behaviour in 1.8.9 is that the EnderDragon stays close to players in Adventure, Survival and Creative mode. Only if no player is nearby or the player is in Spectator mode the EnderDragon flies to 0 0.
This "priority" seems to have changed.

user-f2760 2016-02-28T15:08:00Z

Because it has a new attack which makes the dragon go to 0 0 for that, and this was fixed by making /summon-ed dragons not move

marcono1234 2016-02-28T16:19:50Z

You are right, did not think about the breath attack at the portal.

user-f2760 2016-03-13T13:40:56Z

@unknown this is now the intended behaviour, as the ender dragon changed, the fix provided by mojang is freezing the dragon in place, there is no reopening of this ticket.

clunker5 2016-03-13T13:45:21Z

I don't understand how freezing the dragon is a fix

user-f2760 2016-03-13T14:29:27Z

The bug describes "dragons summoned in other worlds go to 0 0 0" that was fixed by freezing her, she no longer goes to 0 0 0

Itai Nizan 2016-09-25T17:48:36Z

Is there a command to just get rid of the dragon

user-f2760 2016-09-25T17:50:07Z

Pre-1.11

/kill @e[type=EnderDragon]

Post-1.11

/kill @e[type=ender_dragon]

[Mod]Les3awe 2016-10-12T15:44:23Z

Can now use DragonPhase tag.

/summon minecraft:ender_dragon ~ ~ ~ {DragonPhase:0}
