Hello so I'm trying to work out a speed run strategy for 1.9 but the Ender Dragon fight is giving me a lot of trouble. I was wondering if anyone could develop a working strategy for killing the 1.9 ender dragon fight using just the following:
-3 stacks of 64 leaves
-8 beds
-an iron sword
-a stone pickaxe
-22 cobblestone
-9 cooked pork chops
-full iron armor except for leggings
-a water bucket
-64/4 stacks of 16 snowballs
Thanks for your help and if you could upload a video it would be much appreciated and I assure you this is not an easy task to complete.
A lot of people haven't played the snapshot and did the new Ender Dragon fight. I didn't bother yet, was going to wait until release to do it in my current 1.8 world. I know enough has changed that beds might not be quite as useful anymore. Perhaps you could give a brief rundown of your current strategy and people who have done the fight can give you alternative ideas.
Well my current strategy is to pillar up all towers with iron bars on top with leaves then mining one iron bar and throwing a snowball through it to destroy the end crystal and then placing the water down for a second and then picking it back down and jumping into the falling water after this I go through and throw snowballs at the unprotected crystals from the ground after this I wait till the dragon goes and hovers on the portal I put two cobble on top of the bedrock on the portal and then place a bed on top a cobble in front of you and then click it. this does about a sixth of the damage to the dragon however there is a lot of room for error with this strategy. The major one is pillaring up the spires is very dangerous and makes you an easy target for the ender dragon to knock off. Another is that the beds explosion can easily kill you, not to mention staring accidentally at any enderman is virtually a death sentence, and that makes this not such a good strategy and I was hoping someone here could come up with a more reliable strategy.
Given that I haven't done the fight, have you thought about bringing any ender pearls collected during the run to use to teleport over to another caged crystal nearby to save time?
Use beds, they damage a lot. They are also easy to make in early game
I would appreciate if you read the whole post before just making a pointless suggestion which from reading the post is already common knowledge when this thread is clearly looking for a more specific description of a strategy

I may consider doing this but it depends on if they fix the fight or not because currently the ender dragon accidentally kills enderman when it does a charge attack and the enderman it kills drop ender pearls so it may be worth doing though I'm not sure if its worth the fall damage but there is the huge healing buff now that just comes from eating so maybe it won't be such a big deal. Thank you for the suggestion will try that.

Hey, hey calm down cowboy
And Why would i? The description of strategy you are looking for your specific tools are far worse than "a pointless suggestion". The question you asked is pointless in first place anyway because Killing dragon with snowballs are gone in 1.9, so forget it.
Your suggestion was to use beds when among the items I listed was eight beds why would I have that if I didn't already know this fact and the snowballs are not to damage the ender dragon besides in 1.9 the dragon keeps charging even after one hit they are to destroy the end crystals that are not caged, and I assure you it is still possible to kill the ender dragon using these materials just difficult.

Seems easy,
Throw snowballs at the end crystals, tower up with leaves and break the iron bars around the other end crystals, build away before throwing the snowballs though.
Place water and wait for it to reach the ground, then jump.

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..

Sleep in beds for the actual fight.
