Minecraft Dragon Egg PNG

The Dragon Egg exactly as it looks in the Minecraft 26.3 inventory, as a transparent PNG. It is the render of the item itself, not a loose texture: what you see in your hand and in chests. In the creative inventory it sits in the “Functional” tab.

Sizes and quality

The Dragon Egg render is 128 × 128 pixels, the size the game draws the item at in the inventory. It scales up by whole numbers to 1024 px with no interpolation, so the edges stay sharp.

Dragon egg in Minecraft: how to catch it

The dragon egg is the trophy for beating the ender dragon. There is only one per world in Java and two in Bedrock, where another appears when the second dragon is defeated. In Java it generates at X=0, Z=0, on top of the highest block with collision in that column, which is normally the exit portal.

The problem is picking it up. Hit it or try to use it and it teleports to a nearby air space, up to 15 blocks horizontally and 7 vertically, leaving a trail of particles. Right-clicking does the same, so there is no sneaky way to grab it directly.

The answer is that gravity affects it. If it falls onto a block shorter than a full one, such as a torch or a bottom slab, it breaks and drops as an item. The usual trick is to mine the block below, place a torch and let it fall. A piston pushing it also turns it into an item, and an explosion always drops it. Fill every air block around it so it has nowhere to go and it can be mined.

Watch out for the dragon itself: the egg is not immune to being destroyed by it, even though the dragon produced it. As decoration it gives light level 1, does not suffocate anyone it lands on, and can rest on non-solid blocks without falling.
