The challenge
Kill the Dragon, the December 2016 Minecraft Hardcore Challenge, was a quest to kill the Ender Dragon in hardcore mode on Minecraft 1.11. For this month, host Michael Deering's usual rules on passive mobs did not apply.
It is the longest of Basket's challenges: twenty-four episodes, which went up between December 2, 2016 and February 20, 2017.
