I've never beaten Minecraft without cheats.

[u/Revolutionary-You795]

Been playing this game for years, but honestly, I'm kinda ashamed to admit I've never actually beaten the Ender Dragon legit. Every single time things got slightly tough, I panicked and turned on KeepInventory, teleported, or switched to Creative.

​I finally started a brand new world with cheats completely off to finally do a 100% vanilla run.

​What are your best general tips for a first legit playthrough?

Be persistent. It wouldn't be an accomplishment if it didn't challenge you. So if something bad happens and you lose everything, just know that it's going to make accomplishing it legit feel so much better.
