Planets
Several planets enter and leave the night sky on separate cycles. Use a spyglass and search the sky to study them.
The planets that were in the sky on the night you were born can grant you powers when they return.
Read your chart with a Star Chart from /shop.
If a planet from your chart is in the sky, aim a spyglass at it and hold steady for several seconds. You'll then gain that planet's influence until dawn. Most planets give one effect and take another.
The Ender Dragon
Respawns at every in-game midnight without player-placed crystals. It does not stack if one is already alive. Because the day/night cycle tracks the moon, it returns far more often at full moon.
