This will reignite the flames on top of the towers scattered about The End and resurrect the Elder Dragon. Take those four end crystals and place one on each side of the portal surrounding the Dragon Egg pedestal. To "hatch" your dragon egg in Minecraft and give birth to a new Ender Dragon, you'll need to collect or craft four end crystals and bring them to The End. If you're looking to hatch the dragon egg in The End, you can bypass the above process – the egg is perfectly fine in its current location, and doesn't actually play an active role in respawning the Ender Dragon. Creative players have found a variety of ways to safely remove the egg, but most folks simply create a raised platform around the egg, then use a piston and lever to dislodge the egg and add it to their inventory. You'll have to be careful, however, as the egg can break if you're not careful about removing it from its stand.

With the Ender Dragon slain, you're free to collect the dragon egg located in The End. This means you'll need to find an End Portal, activate it, and carry enough high-end gear to take down the high-end enemy. Unlike some objects in Minecraft, which can be found almost everywhere, dragon eggs can only be found after defeating the Ender Dragon. Before you can hatch a dragon egg, you'll need to locate one in the wild.
