One Minecraft fan has created a child version of the legendary Ender Dragon that is catching the attention of fans online. The Ender Dragon is one of the bosses that can be found in Minecraftand the encounter is supposed to be a terrifying experience. However, this fan concept would be a huge crowd pleaser.

While 2026 has just begun, Mojang has wasted no time in revealing new content for its next game drop. In particular, the developer announced that the baby farm mobs are getting new designs. With the upcoming update, wolf cubs, kittens, piglets, calves, baby chickens, baby ocelots, baby lambs, and baby rabbits are getting adorable changes. While these mobs already have child versions, they are just scaled-down versions of adults with disproportionately large heads. The new redesigns rework each of these mobs, improving their cuteness and making them more visually distinct. In addition, new versions of child holders come into play. Unsurprisingly a lot Minecraft fans loved these reimagined mobs, with some envisioning them as baby versions of other creatures from the game.

Minecraft reveals the first features of its next game drop and you can try them out now

Mojang is giving players a first look at some of the features coming in its first game drop of 2026, and they're already available for testing.

Baby Ender Dragon concept for Minecraft fans

One of these fan concepts comes from Reddit user w11shes, who put a nice spin on it MinecraftEnder's Dragon. Specifically, the player created a child version of the mob, complete with an egg. This new version of the mob was noticeably more compact, making it less terrifying than the adult version. However, it still contained glowing purple eyes and a pair of wings.

This Ender Dragon concept gained traction on Reddit with many fans upvoting the post. While w11shes didn't share details on how the concept might work in-game, other players came up with their own ideas in the comments. Notably, some thought the Baby Ender Dragon should be added as a new passive mob.According to Reddit user Trick-Caramel-6156, the Baby Ender Dragon could be ridden by players and could shoot projectiles at enemies. While they thought it would be difficult to balance, others thought it could work side by side MinecraftHappy Ghast and Elytra as modes of transportation.

It is currently unknown when the next game will be coming Minecraft will be released, but many features are already available for testing via Java snapshot and Bedrock beta/preview. While many fans think that Mojang will not add the Baby Ender Dragon mob, the developer will likely continue to reveal more content that will lead to another drop in the game. Given the overwhelmingly positive reception of the new version of the baby farming mobs, Baby Ender Dragon would likely be a hit if ever announced. This is worth noting Minecraft has an active modding scene, so it's always possible that this mob could be unofficially added by ambitious fans.

While it remains to be seen what else Mojang will add in its next game drop, players already have a lot to look forward to in the coming months. Thanks in part to continued support from the developer, the game remains one of the most popular titles on the market. actually Minecraft ranked among the top 5 most played games on Xbox and PlayStation for 2025. Ranked just behind powerhouses like Fortnite and GTA 5. If Mojang can keep adding content as popular as the kid crowd, it could remain among the most played games well into 2026.

Hopefully the release date for the next game drop will be revealed soon so players know when the base game will get these adorable features. In the meantime, it will be interesting to see what else Minecraft fan concepts are shared with the gaming community.
