[September 30 2022]

This is the first ever oneshot recorded.
I shared this in a discord chat with other runners and it started the oneshot technique history. Skip to 6:00 to see it. [No Sounds]

(Discovered accidentally while using MCP, since I was testing Softlock as well... but this other specific technique was banned later)

Old Description below (EXTREMELY INACCURATE, just leaving for historical purpose)

I recommend you to read Curcuit's explanation here instead [!!!]: youtube.com/watch?v=ON8c6IhE7-E

Again, everything below is mostly OUTDATED and INCORRECT. These are the thoughts I had back in 2022.

Old Title:

(MCP 1.10) How to Oneshot Enderdragon going in Softlock status (1.9-1.10) [Status: ?]

Old Description:

[No Sounds]
Skip to 6:00 if you want to see the interesting part of the video

Softlock status is an unavoidable mistake in the code, only occuring on specific seeds with a certain end tower configuration, that prevents the Enderdragon to move at all after leaving a perch. This is also caused by destroying OR unloading (hard but possible setup) all crystals on the Landing Approach and Takeoff Phases.

My spreadsheet on Glitches and Exploits in the game will explain better how softlock works: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19EuW3NmQWCMrOmIWGgaPvLeNWhpw7Fc16UdGpyjP6fY/edit#gid=0

The one-shot is caused by the dragon hitbox on every Phase (except perching phases) combined with the mechanics of arrow shoot by bow. A charged arrow shoot will be multiplied by amount of speed to deal damage and the game has weird calculation with arrow and Ender Dragon hitbox in 1.9-1.13 (The speed of the arrow will increase more and more closer you are to her body hitbox center). By using these facts, you can shoot the dragon in the weakest (center) point of the body and with the fastest possible arrow (Setup in the video) to deal more than 200+ damage, killing the Ender Dragon instantly.
