So, currently the Ender Dragon egg does absolutely nothing except teleport around. So here are my suggestions.

You first pick up the egg with you hand, nothing else. If you try to break it with any other tool then nothing will happen.

So you come back with the egg, and there would be 3 different things that you could do with it:

1. The Eni Dragon (Ender + Mini):
If you choose this, you must leave the egg within you inventory. If it is inside a chest or any other item storing block, then nothing will happen. Now, the amount of time that you have to keep it in your inventory could be randomized. Now, once you hold it long enough, the egg will hatch, and you would receive a message saying something like "Your new Dragon has arrived". Now, this wouldn't be some pet baby dragon, but instead it would be an item. This item, called the 'Eni Dragon', would be your alternative to an End Portal. All you have to do is hold the right mouse button while it's in your hand, and you will be sent to the End, and vice versa. However, this wouldn't be something you could use anytime, there would be a recharge on it, say something like 1 full minecraft day. Then you can use it again. Once you use it twice the recharge kicks in. (One to go to the End, and one to leave).

2. The Ender Blade:
If you choose this, then you must first place the egg in a furnace, and when it's done cooking you will receive 2 Engots. And with these Engots, you can craft a sword the same way you would craft a regular sword. Now you have the Ender Blade. The Ender Blade would have 2500 uses, and would do 5 hearts of damage.

3. The Ender Paxel:
If you choose this, then you must place the egg in the center of a crafting table, and then surround it with an Iron Shovel, an Iron Ax, and an Iron Pickaxe. It wouldn't matter where in the crafting table the iron items are, as long as the egg is in the middle. This would give you a Mixed Egg. Once this is done, you must put the Mixed Egg in a furnace, and then you will get an Ender Paxel piece. And finally, you must put this item, and 2 sticks in the crafting bench as if you were making a shovel, and now you have an Ender Paxel (A paxel the combination of an ax, shovel, and pick all in one item). The Ender Paxel would have 3000 uses, and would mine, cut, and dig items at the same speed of it's iron counterpart. Additionally, when you cut down a tree with the Ender Paxel, then all of the wood above it will be destroyed too (same as the Timber Mod). The Ender Paxel would be able to destroy the same blocks as its Diamond counterparts.

I think this is a great idea; never would've thought of it. Good job.

[Player_Epic]

I like the sword idea, seems very useful. very nice ideas all together!

[Minecraft Fanatic]

Very nice idea. I currently am trying to get to the end legitimately on a survival server. I have done it though on a server a few times and all I really thought of doing was getting the exp.

[ToastedButterfly]

I think the Ender Blade is a bit under powered.

[kane705]

I'd prefer this over just another way to grief in smp

[flamewareyer]

nice ideas =D but you forgot the most important one: using it to respawn the dragon so you can fight it more than once on a server.

Honestly I think the Dragon should just be re-fightable from the beginning.

I don't really like any of these ideas.

The eni dragon would be fairly useful going back to the end if you want more enderstone or if you want to collect tons of enderpearls to use.

The ender blade, I don't really like pristine rare swords, I would feel they are too valuable to use even if it is as strong as a diamond sword.

The ender paxel, I hate sporks already, this is -200 style points.

this is a really good idea. you should possibly send it too Mojang

*smacks baby dragon on ground*
*portal to the end opens*

All joking aside I like the teleport idea, even if it doesn't make much sense. You'd be implying that Ender dragons can move between dimensions.

So you don't like the Ender blade because you'd be afraid to use it. And you don't like the paxel because it's a mix of more than one item.

Not exactly the best reasons not to like something, but understandable.

[Chezter]

i don't like the idea of using the enderdragon in a recipe and losing it with that. its the most rarest block in the game, also the suggestions are a little bit too underpowered for a block that can only found once in game, maybe if they had infinite uses that would be something

[Starfortress]

It seems good, but since the EnderDragon Egg is so rare, wouldn't you want infinite uses for the sword and tool?

[Dadoza]

I was really hoping this wouldn't start with "You should be able to spawn an ender dragon"

It sort of did, but I really like these ideas.. can't say I support them, but they are good ideas.

Maybe for the 'recharge' on the instant-end portal baby dragon idea, you could pay the priest in a village something for him to bless it? You know.. the guy in the purple

[NikolasMMDLXXI]

your ideas are ... okay, i guess.

[Floating_Pickle]

/support

[0evil0overlord0]

I like this idea. It would be cool if the eni dragon actually displayed a small dragon flying around you while it's in your inventory just for aesthetics.
