I recently came up with an idea for an end-game reward, one that keeps the player engaged even after the enderdragon is defeated.
Also, it gives a real use to the dragon egg.
Here it is:
So, you've slayed the dragon, and you're expecting some sort of prize or loot. After all, why else does one slay dragons? Unfortunately, all you get is a smelly egg. However, there is more to this egg than it's strange smell. From somewhere deep inside the egg, you feel a presence. A consciousness. It speaks to you. It has the power to give you anything your heart desires. All it wants in return is the one thing dragons love most: Treasure.
The basic idea here is: You kill the enderdragon and take it's egg. The unborn dragon inside the egg will grant you wishes in return for treasure. Now when I say treasure, I mean a LOT of treasure. Some wishes could cost as much as 30 diamonds! But before we get into the treasure, let's talk about wishes.
Wishes could come in several forms. They could be special perks or abilities, such as underwater breathing or natural armor. Or perhaps they could be unique items. There are tons of possibilities.
Now, before you claim that such abilities would make the game unfair, you have to understand how hard it is to get them. These wishes are not cheap. It will cost a ridiculous amount of diamonds and gold for a wish. The point here is to give the player a reason to keep mining after beating the game. These long term goals will keep players interested, and prevent them from getting bored with their current world.
Alternative: The dragon egg grants you only one wish, and end-game "super power"
So, any opinions?
TL;DR
The dragon egg grants you wishes in exchange for diamonds and gold. These "wishes" are actually powerful items, perks and abilities. You need ridiculous amounts of gold/diamond to buy the wishes.
Edit: Sorry if any of this is unclear. It's late, and although it's not much of an excuse, I am very tired.
I like this idea. Though maybe it should just grant a wish, I don't like the super power idea. It's gotta stay simple. And the wishes would have to be specific. Example:
You get a choice of one of the following:
10 Diamonds
100 Iron
100 Obsidian
50 Ender Pearls
No more hunger
10 diamond blocks
an array of random high level enchanted weapons and armor
Where ever you place the egg in the Real world, you get an End portal frame, refill it with eyes of ender and BOOM, you have a home away from home, right where you placed your egg. (kinda like a nether portal)
Infinite sprint
A tool that lets you clear large parts of land in a single swipe.
A unbreakable Pickaxe-hatchet made of diamond

This, execpt randomized.
How about you put the dragon egg down somewhere, right click on it, and there's a single square to put some valuable items in. If you put in a piece of dirt, you'll probably get a piece of dirt right back. Put 5 diamonds in, you have a greater chance of getting 10 diamonds, but you still may get Iron or dirt.

THIS IS GREAT But it would be like: Flying for some time, Super Jumping, Dragon Natural Armor (If you die you continue with it) No Hunger, Infinite Sprinting, Immunity To Fire, Double Crafting (You do One Pickaxe you get two), Fortune IV that continues if you or your Pickaxe dies. But random.

Look at the bolded section
That is op if you get double everything because you can take 9 diamonds, put in crafting table and get 2 blocks then uncraft the 2 blocks for 18 diamonds. This goes with any valuable items.

Hey, it'a a good start. I haven't even thought about the gui.
No more hunger
10 diamond blocks
an array of random high level enchanted weapons and armor

I like this idea! +1
