      The bug

      You can respawn the ender dragon using only two end crystals in survival mode. Typically you are required to have four end crystals to respawn the ender dragon so I believe this to be a bug.

      How to reproduce

      1. Place Water so that it flows into and replace all (or most) of the exit portal blocks. You can use either downward facing dispensers or water placed on the edge of the exit portal/bedrock pillar to do this.
      2. Place end crystals on the bedrock under the portal
      3. Observe the ender dragon respawn sequence

      This is due to the large hitbox of the ender crystals overlapping the detection boxes end crystals positioned on the portal edge.

      Video of how to reproduce can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOdaxnEhWbI

      Video of how to reproduce WITHOUT using water buckets, but with mushrooms, here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/kgusao/how_to_summon_enderdragon_with_only_two/

      The picture shows how to position the end crystals to get this to occur.
