I am having a problem with the Ender Dragon on my Minecraft Realm world. I had never defeated the Dragon before, but I had been to the End prior to the latest 1.9 update just to see it. This weekend I wanted to finally go defeat him so I could see all the new content added after the Dragon. The issue I am seeing is that the Dragon appears to be glitched badly and I don't know how to fix him. He just hovers stationary over a column and never moves or attacks. Any attacks I make have no effect either, as his health bar never changes. I have destroyed all the crystals atop all of the columns but that has not had any effect.
How do I "reset" the Dragon, or the End itself, so I can actually fight him?
Thanks for the help, Gerbil. So that seems pretty easy if I were running a Minecraft version of my world locally, but I have a Minecraft Realms account. To do what you're suggesting I am going to assume I need to download the world locally, delete the DIM1 folder, then re-upload it back to Realms overwriting the version currently on the Realm. Am I correct in thinking that or is there another way? My main concern with doing that is my world is extremely large (multiple people have been working on it for years), and at this point it exceeds the upload limit allowed for Realms, so I am not sure I can actually upload it back if that's the solution here.
Minecraft Realms saves a bunch of backups automatically, but I am not sure when this would have broken so I doubt I can simply go back and restore an older snapshot to actually fix it that way.

Minecraft Realms' upload limit is 500 MB. When downloading a world, it should warn you if it's larger than 500 MB. What I did when I had to work with the world locally was delete 700 MB worth of chunks (Yes, the world was about 1.2-1.3 GB). Unfortunately that is the only way to decrease your world's size.
Oh good, at least it's a reported bug. Thanks for pointing that out!
I am going to just hold out hope Mojang fixes it. I don't want to have to start deleting chunks of my world just to try and get it down to a size that I can re-upload!

Hello,

Thank you!
simplest thing is to delete the DIM1 folder in your save, which will regenerate The End.
You might not want to be IN the end when you do that.
Probably best to make a backup first as well

Good luck!
The signature is a lost art.
I don't really know as I have never used Realms....
Sounds like this bug: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-98654
