Intermediate
≈ 2 h 15 minSuggested range1 h 15 min – 3 h 30 minExperienced
≈ 1 h 30 minSuggested range45 min – 2 h 15 minBased on one person building the set for the first time, following the original instructions and using numbered bags where supplied. Includes normal piece-finding and minor adjustments; excludes long breaks, filming, dismantling and modifications. Sources may use different methods. This range is neither a statistical interval nor a limit: your build may take less or more time.
How we estimate times · sources and method
Jointed dragon, ship and accessories with black and purple elements. The three central durations are model-specific editorial assessments. Planning ranges extend approximately from 65% to 145%, rounded to quarter-hours; they are not measured experience-level averages or guaranteed limits.
Sources do not always specify the builder’s experience. The three experience bands are our editorial assessment, based on the complexity of the set and individual accounts where available.

An Enderman in D&D too
The official 2023 Minecraft compendium for Dungeons & Dragons describes the Enderman’s teleportation and sensitivity to water. The character also has a life in tabletop roleplaying.
Read the full story
Minecraft’s Monstrous Compendium adapts the Enderman for Dungeons & Dragons. Teleportation receives tabletop conditions and distances for evading attacks. Rather than duplicating videogame code, the adaptation translates a recognisable behaviour into turns, rolls and another game system.
A pearl that changes your position
In the same adaptation, a pearl dropped by an Enderman can be thrown to teleport its user. A small object captures one of the character’s defining abilities.
Read the full story
Throwing an Ender pearl teleports its user to the landing point. Endermen and trades are among its sources. Combined with blaze powder, it becomes an Eye of Ender, linking a small object with both immediate travel and the search for another dimension.
