Wither
The Wither is a flying, three-headed boss monster that's special because YOU get to summon it yourself, by building it out of special blocks.
How to Summon One
Stack 4 blocks of Soul Sand (or Soul Soil) in a T-shape, then place 3 Wither Skeleton Skulls on top. Stand back... it explodes to life!
Why It's Dangerous
- All three heads shoot exploding Wither Skulls that cause a nasty damage-over-time effect called the Wither effect.
- It can fly and break through most blocks.
- When it takes enough damage, it grows a tough armor shield and gets even harder to hurt.
Fun Fact: Defeating the Wither drops a Nether Star, used to craft a Beacon!
