A tutorial on how to get a perch and onecycle the dragon with beds in a Minecraft speedrun in all versions 1.14-1.21 and version 26.1+.
Standing back at z70 is to decrease fireball chances and therefore increase perch chances. Respawn anchors can also be used in place of beds, however are more difficult to use. Shooting most of the crystals can improve average perch time, however requires good execution and timing, otherwise it will be slower. Standing north or south is to avoid slow dragon movement and for easier bed timing. Standing on the correct side lets beds do more damage. In 1.14 and 1.15, explode beds later. In 1.21.4, meleeing the dragon's head does much less damage.
