Overview

In this beat the game challenge, your abilities to mine and craft are totally disabled! You can still place blocks.

Everything required to reach the End and kill the Ender Dragon is doable except for getting blaze powder & eyes of ender. To this end an extra recipe is available for villager clerics, who will offer 2 eyes of ender in exchange for 2 ender pearls and 1 blaze rod.
