 == Usage ==
 === Healing the ender dragon ===
 Their primary purpose is to recharge the health of the ender dragon, who gains a charge from the nearest crystal within a cuboid extending 32 blocks from the dragon in all directions. The dragon is healed {{hp|1}} each half-second. If multiple ender dragons are spawned, an End crystal can affect multiple dragons at the same time. Entities and blocks neither obstruct the healing beam nor diminish its power.
@@ Line 78: / Line 77: @@
 The End crystal entity is not solid and can be walked through freely. End crystals can be pushed by [[Minecraft:piston]]s, but they explode if moved while on fire. Because fire is checked only when an entity moves, End crystals do not normally take damage from their own fire unless moved.
