I'm ready to go to The End and I was wondering what I was going to need for the Ender Dragon battle and the travel to the Stronghold. Just give me a list of everything that I will need in order to get me to the portal and have me definitely defeat the dragon. Any answers will be appreciated! Thanks!
A bunch of arrows (or a bow with infinite enchantment) and patience. It's a boring fight. I did have diamond armor on, but it was a bit pointless as it never actually got a chance to attack as I would hit it with an arrow before it got near enough to do anything. Most of my time was spent just standing around waiting.

Riding an elevator is more eventful IMHO.
I have watched several lets plays on the subject and I would say don't think you have to OVER prepare. Just have arrows they take him down faster then just a sword. I think you need a piston ( Right? ) to get the egg so don't forget that maybe.
Depending on how far the stronghold is I would bring a bed and a chest to the stronghold (if you already took all the chests out of there) so you can store as much of your stuff as possible by the portal and re-set spawn to right beside the portal. Also snow blocks and pumpkins to make snow golems to deal with the endermen. I have never actually fought the dragon myself but watched a ton of people do it (friends) and seen lets plays. I am actually preparing to do it in this world finally and am a bit nervous I admit. I normally suck at killing skeletons so am needless to say kinda crappy at the whole attack thing.
The EnderDragon is not a hard fight. At all. Before you go into the End, set your spawn in a bed next to the portal. Also, take a set of basic stuff that you can store in a chest incase you die. But you probably won't die. Cause the EnderDragon is eZ. If you have good armor, the only threat is being killed by Enderman or getting thrown off the edge of the End by the dragon. Don't go near the edges.
What you need to bring:
Prot I Iron Armor: You don't need Prot IV Diamond Armor.
A decent bow: At Least Power II or III. If you have an Infinity Bow, you can easily beat him.
Lots of Arrows: 2 stacks if you are a good shot, 3 if you aren't confident in your aim. If you have an Infinity Bow, ignore this.
Food: The EnderDragon fight is long and boring, so bring lots of food. Don't bother if you are on peaceful.
Snowballs: Snowballs are one of the most important items. They can take out towers, and keep the EnderDragon back. You should make a few snow golems while you are there so you always can get more snowballs.
A Water Bucket: One of the most useful items when fighting the EnderDragon. If you get some enderman angry, you can just place down the water and they will lose their aggression towards you. Another use for a water bucket is to MLG Water. This is a technique where you place down a water source right before you hit the ground, saving your life. This is a hard technique to master.
A Pickaxe. There is a chance you will spawn inside the island when you enter the End, so you will need a pickaxe to mine through the End Stone.
(Optional) Fishing Rod: Can be used to take out very small towers or to keep the dragon away.
(Optional) A Sword: This may seem like a must, but really, it's not. You will most likely be using a bow to do most things, like kill the dragon. A sword can be used if an enderman is angry at you, but water is a much easier way to take out the enderman,
(Optional) Pumpkin: You can put a pumpkin on your head to avoid enderman getting angry at you, but wearing a pumpkin blocks your view. You could use a resource pack where the pumpkin blur is removed, or don't use one at all. Like a real man.
(Optional) Ender Pearls: When you enter the End, there is a chance that you will spawn on a platform off the island, so if you bring ender pearls with you, you can just teleport to the main island.
(Optional) Blocks: In case you spawn off the island, you can quickly use blocks to bridge your way to the main island if you don't have any enderpearls.
(Optional) A Torch: Dont bring a piston to retrieve the dragon egg, just dig one block under the block the egg is on, place a torch there, and break the block that the egg is on. The egg will fall onto the torch and break, allowing you to retrieve your prize.
Thats basically it. The EnderDragon is really overrated. It is extremely easy if you bring the things I mentioned.
Have fun destroying him.

First few times go with just a double stack of arrows, a badly enchanted iron armor, a couple of extended regeneration potions and a pumpkin. Wear the pumpkin and follow the usual advise of first trying to destroy the... healing fires... forget their names.
Your idea here is just to get a feeling for the dragon. You'll probably die a few times. I think I did 5 times before I got used to the dragon and the strategy to kill it. After that, there's just no way you are going to die in there anymore unless you get distracted enough he knocks you off the island.
My strategy is simple.
- Wear the stupid pumpkin.
- Knock off the lights thing with my arrows that are in range. Pillar jump to the higher ones and just hammer them with my sword. From there try to shoot any other in range. Come back down with my shovel.
- Once all the lights things are down, remove the stupid pumpkin and wear a proper attire.
- Move to the centre of the island. Stay there.
- Keep looking up, searching for the dragon. You know where it can see you because the health bar will show
- When it seems he is charging you, charge you bow. Hit him on the head when he's close.
- Repeat till it's dead.
- Because you are constantly looking up, there's no chance those enderman will bother you. But still be careful and avoid looking close to them.
Equipment for later games when you are comfortable with the dragon:
Bow with Power enchantment
Armor with Protection enchantment. You should prefer diamond when you are no longer afraid of getting killed
Ender pearl to teleport to the main island
3 or 4 Extended regeneration potions
Food (which you shall always be eating)
Shovel
2 stacks of Dirt
LOTS AND LOTS of SNOWBALLS!!! And a bow with very high level echantments like Power IV, Infinity I, Unbreaking III or more. And also diamond armor just in case.
NECESSARY:
Diamond/Iron Armor (preferably enchanted)
Bow and LOTS of arrows (or the Infinity enchantment, preferably enchanted with a high Power lvl)
Diamond Sword (preferably enchanted, Fire Aspect helps scare away endermen)
Food (steak or porkchops are best, bread and chicken are okay too)
About a stack of building blocks, and a good bow aim or ladders
A Pickaxe (iron or diamond, preferably not your best one)
OPTIONAL:
Snow/Iron Golems (snow for attacking the dragon, iron for battling endermen
Potions (healing, regeneration, strength)
A torch (for collecting the egg, right click the egg to make it teleport, then dig down next to it, leave the block right under it, but under that block place the torch, then break the block so that the egg falls and drops on the torch)
A Pumpkin (if you aren't good at not looking at endermen)
Set your home outside the portal, have a chest of spare supplies, go in with nothing but blocks and a pickaxe (if you spawn far out you can build, if you spawn inside you can dig out). Then, go out full force and destroy the crystals, then shoot/swing your sword until it dies pretty much.
If you are not in hardcore mode then scout the end first!
Before you grab all your gear and jump through the portal, go to the end with 2/3 stacks of blocks. This way, if the dragon knocks you off while building a path to the main island, you won't lose all your important stuff.
Some food, a bucket of water & a power 5 (So it doesn't take too long) infinity bow, it's the Endermen you have to watch out for, the Enderdragon itself won't do any damage.

This is the best signature you've ever seen. Trust me.

Don't forget an iron pickaxe, since while it's possible you might spawn away from the island on a small obsidian platform (and be immediately swept into the void by the Dragon), it's also possible that you will spawn underground and will need to dig your way to the surface.
Once you've scouted the area and secured the entrance, then you can retrieve your gear (either by jumping into the void and respawning by your stuff or by first putting your stuff in an Ender chest and then placing another one in the End) and start fighting.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.

Nope, just a torch. Place a torch two blocks under the egg, then break the block the egg is sitting on so it lands on the torch. It works just like sand.

Thanks! I'll go with that!

If you want to be daring bring a bunch of beds and kill it with them
if you try to sleep in beds in the end or nether they explode
when the dragon gets near right click the bed and it will explode
I think it takes 6 beds to kill the ender dragon
Absolute power move. Will try this as a challenge.
