Ender dragon reset

At minimum, the dragon fight comes back. Some servers only respawn the dragon, while others also clean up parts of the central island or regenerate sections to remove old bridges, holes, and pillar damage. If you build in the End, assume it may be temporary unless the rules explicitly protect it.

Usually, yes. Repeat access to the End means repeat chances at outer End loot, but the supply depends on how the server handles end cities. Some refresh them, some limit looting per cycle, and some rely on competition to keep them scarce.

Both are common. Some servers keep the End largely PvE to help players get their first kill. Others allow PvP during reset windows, which turns crystals, knockback, and portal control into player-driven threats. Check whether End PvP is enabled and whether the spawn platform or exits have protections.

Weekly and monthly schedules are common, with some servers resetting after each kill or after a set number of kills. Faster cycles feel like frequent raids and quick progression. Slower cycles make the End more meaningful between events and turn resets into bigger server moments.

Mobility and survival matter more than expensive armor: a bow, plenty of blocks, food, and a water bucket go a long way. If PvP or loot contests are possible, avoid bringing irreplaceable gear until you understand how deaths and drops are handled on that server.
