🎉 Celebrating 20 Years of Dedication and Impact at KDL! 🎉 At KDL, People Drive Logistics, and today we're proud to celebrate two incredible team members who have been driving logistics excellence for two decades! 🚚📦 This month, Dave Mrvos and Joey Chrobocienski reach an extraordinary milestone—20 years of service at a company that's only 25 years old. Their commitment, hard work, and passion have played a huge role in shaping KDL's journey and bringing us to where we are today. 👏 Here's to Joey and Dave, whose dedication continues to inspire us all. Thank you for your invaluable contributions and for setting the standard for what it means to be part of the KDL family as well as many more years ahead! #PeopleDriveLogistics #WorkAnniversary #20YearsStrong #TeamKDL #LogisticsExcellence #WorkCulture

By using the F3 + B shortcut, the dragon's bounding box appears.‌[Java Edition only] It cannot be damaged at just any spot in this large volume: eight green sub-hitboxes are also shown, which indicate the locations where the dragon can take damage: The tail, body, head, and wings.

Players can re-summon the dragon by placing four end crystals on the edges of the exit portal, one on each side. When it is re-summoned, the four end crystals point to the tops of each pillar setting off a series of explosions that resets the obsidian pillars, iron bars, and end crystals. The top of each pillar explodes, destroying any player-placed blocks. Eventually, all of the end crystals point at the coordinates of (0.0, 128, 0.0) and the ender dragon spawns there. The four crystals placed around the exit portal then explode. If the player does not pick up the dragon egg and starts to re-summon the dragon, the dragon egg disappears.

The ender dragon has a light purple health bar that appears at the top of the player's screen. Its health is frequently restored by nearby end crystals, indicated by a magical white beam connecting the dragon and the crystal. Destroying an end crystal that is actively healing the dragon causes 10 damage to it.

In Java Edition, these blocks are marked under the dragon_immune tag, with the exception of light blocks and fire, which are marked as dragon_transparent.

The /summon ender_dragon command, by default, summons a harmless ender dragon that hovers in place ‌[JE only]. Setting the DragonPhase tag (by issuing either the /summon ender_dragon ~ ~ ~ {DragonPhase:0} or the /data merge entity {DragonPhase:0} commands) starts the ender dragon's ordinary behavior, although the health bar does not appear because it is managed by the ender dragon fight status rather than by the dragon entity itself ‌[JE only]. If spawned away from the center of the map (x=0, z=0), it flies to the center then resumes normal behavior (see #Behavior).

When a re-summoned ender dragon is slain, the same events occur except that only 500 experience points are dropped‌[Java Edition only] and no more than 20 gateway portals are generated. The dragon egg appears the first time the ender dragon is slain in Java Edition, and the first and second time in Bedrock Edition; it does not appear after any subsequent dragon slaying.

KDL recently completed a special project for Sennheiser, delivering sound bar displays to every Best Buy location across the US and Canada. A big thank you to our Customer Service, Financial Operations, and IT teams for managing nearly 1,000 shipments and ensuring everything arrived with care. Our Customer Service Manager, Lori Conway, even stopped by to see the final results—and they look fantastic! You’ll definitely want to grab one this holiday season! #PeopleDriveLogistics #SoundBar #LTL #LessThanTruckload #Transportation

In Java Edition, when the dragon finally takes a fatal blow, it flies toward the exit portal structure before dying, unless it cannot find it within 150 blocks, or it is inside blocks.

If the dragon goes through an end gateway, another immediately spawns at (0, 128, 0) while the other dragon flies to (0, 128, 0).

The dragon never targets any entity but the player, although other mobs may turn hostile to the dragon when hit, and the dragon may sometimes retaliate against other mobs if it takes damage to a projectile. Any entities hit by its wings are dealt 5 damage (or 10 damage if hit by its head), and in Java Edition, are thrown into the air, sometimes to fatal heights or even off the island. Neither of these effects is applied for 1⁄2 second after the dragon takes damage.

As the cleanup continues from Hurricanes Helene and Milton, we at KDL are continuing to work with our customers as they navigate what can be shipped where and when as they try to support communities and their customers. Our TMS system has active carrier notification that will proactively block a shipper from choosing a carrier incapable of servicing a region due to embargo or other restrictions. Still need to go where they can't? Our expedite team is standing by to find any an all options available. Don't try to navigate this on your own, KDL is here to help. #PeopleDriveLogistics #Embargo #LTL #LessThanTruckload #Expedite #Truckload #TLD #Hurricane

The KDL team is in Orlando this week attending Fabtech. Stop by booth #S15199 and say hi to Thomas Cannizzo, Wesley Harris, Adam Smith and Brendan Carney. #PeopleDriveLogsitics #FabTech2024 #Fabtech #Logistics #SupplyChain #ManufacturingInnovation #Fabrication #Metalworking #Industry40 #TechTrends #Automation #Welding #3DPrinting #EngineeringExcellence #TradeShow #InnovationInManufacturing #SmartManufacturing #FutureOfManufacturing

The ender dragon spawns 20 game ticks (1 second) after an entity first arrives in the End, along with the bedrock frame for the exit portal.

Target selectors for the ender dragon target a total of 9 entities per dragon, as the ender dragon actually consists of 9 entities internally‌[Java Edition only]. So executing at a dragon to summon an arrow summons 9 arrows.

Earlier this year, the Senate began deliberating the Promoting Resilient Supply Chains Act, a bill to establish a federal program to map, monitor, and model U.S. supply chains and look for potential gaps in manufacturing, warehousing, transportation and distribution. So not only are the best companies in the world focused on and afraid of disruptions and gaps in their supply chains, so is the US government. You want to know how you stack up? This is what KDL does. Come talk to us in Orland at Fabtech Booth S15199 or reach out to us at info@kdlog.com. #PeopleDriveLogistic #SupplyChainResilience #HiddenGaps #Disruption

The dragon can pass through all blocks, destroying almost all types, but can still be affected by flowing water, lava and bubble column. Blocks not destroyed are those that naturally generate on the central End island and those that are intended to be indestructible, such as end stone and respawn anchors:

During the battle with the ender dragon, unique music called "Boss" plays, the edges of the screen darkens and black fog appears, and chunks around the exit portal are constantly loaded regardless of render distance. These happen as long as there is at least one player within a Euclidean distance of 192 blocks from (0.0, 128, 0.0).

Our hearts go out to everyone affected by Hurricane Milton last night. In the face of devastation, together as communities and individuals, you will rebuild and emerge even stronger. KDL offers our deepest support and care. While the storm has passed, we know the road to recovery is just beginning. #PeopleDriveLogistics #PeopleDriveCommunities #HurricaneMilton #Support #CommunityStrong #RebuildingHope

Dragon Fireball Dragon Fireball (JE) Dragon Fireball (BE) Behavior Does not exist Details Size Height: 1 BlockWidth: 1 Block Dragon fireballs are special fireballs that the ender dragon fires while strafing. They cannot be deflected unlike ghast fireballs, and they do no impact damage. Instead, they deposit purple effect clouds across the ground that damages players the same way a lingering potion of Harming does. This means that the ender dragon's fireballs deal magic damage, which ignores any damage reduction that comes from the player's armor. However its damage does get reduced by armor enchanted with the Protection enchantment. The purple effect cloud's hitbox slowly grows larger in diameter until it disappears.

It is the largest naturally spawning mob in the game. It guards access to the end gateways that provide entry to the outer end islands in addition to the exit portal that allows return to the Overworld as well as access to the end credits of Minecraft. Because of this, it is known by most Minecraft fans as the 'final boss' of the game. Its attacks involve charging at the player and its unique dragon acid attacks.

Java Edition: Ender dragons use the Hostile Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events. Dragon fireballs use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.

Destroyed blocks are not dropped, although containers (such as chests and dispensers, but not shulker boxes) drop their contents.

The ender dragon is a flying mob, which cannot actually stand on the ground. It flies around the end main island while fighting the player.

We've been having some crisp cool mornings here in Pittsburgh. Fall is in full swing. The leaves are changing/falling and Halloween is right around the corner.

Through this program, we are committed to expanding our outreach and fostering meaningful connections to strengthen and support the people and places around us.

⚠ Hurricane Milton Update ⚠ KDL is actively monitoring Hurricane Milton, which is expected to make landfall on the Central Florida Gulf Coast between Wednesday and Thursday this week. To our customers and affiliates in the path of the storm, we hope you all stay safe, and our thoughts are with you as you navigate the impact and aftermath. Leading into this storm we strongly advise those with shipments scheduled to move into the affected areas to hold onto those shipments if possible until the storm passes and the region begins to reopen. Carriers will likely embargo freight into Central Florida, meaning shipments could be delayed or returned. Keeping the freight in your possession will help you control your delivery plan and avoid additional costs. If you are a KDL customer and need assistance, please reach out to our Customer Service team. If you are looking for a new 3PL provider and appreciate the efforts we take to getting this type of information into the hands of our clients, drop us an email at info@kdlog.com. If you want to proactively receive notices like this, follow us! #PeopleDriveLogistics #HurricanMilton #Disruptions #SupplyChain #Hurricanes

Official T-shirt artwork "Battle" which features a creeper, an enderman, Steve, a ghast, and either an ender dragon or a red dragon. Made by SamCube.

The dragon can take damage only from explosions and player-based damage, and takes damage of (1⁄4 × normal damage + 1) when hit on any part that is not its head, making it the most resilient mob in the game. Suffocation is completely non-applicable, as it either phases through or immediately destroys any block it touches.
