What do you have your Render Distance set to?
Can you see the Ender Dragon farther if you increase the render distance?

Hi Umija,
I have my render set to max on Xbox (16 chunks) and max on Android (22 chunks) and in both cases, if I stood on 1 tower, and the dragon is directory across, as soon it reaches the other tower, it vanishes. The only way I can tell where it is, is when another player is involved on the opposing side firing arrows with a flame bow at it. Otherwise, it's literally a guessing game.
Perhaps this was done specifically to optimize or match other mobs.
But it can really be a problem to fight him in the End.
Still happening in 1.19.22, really annoying when fighting the ender dragon... Hope this gets fixed soon.
Seems to be fixed in the latest beta as of this comment (1.19.70.26). Here's an image of the dragon exactly 128 blocks away.

Not sure if it is a bug, per sè, but I have noticed this myself. Quite annoying.....
