Shadow Key



Shadow Keys are items exclusively dropped by Drifters when it is killed by a tame Strange Hybel.

Uses
Shadow Keys are throwable items, just like snowballs and eggs (except they can be picked up after thrown). When they are thrown at an Ender Dragon's mouth, the dragon will take on the death animation before doing a reverse-death animation into the Shadow Dragon, permanently corrupting the End into the Shadowlands. Once thrown at the Ender Dragon, the Shadow Key will break.

When the Shadow Key is in the Player's hand, purple puffs of smoke will emit from the item around the Player, like an Enderman.

Trivia

 * Though it appears pitch black, it is actually a very dark shade of purple.
 * If the Shadow Key is thrown at the Ender Dragon's wings, it will bug out and appear to "spaz", being stuck on the wing and becoming virtually unretrievable.
