Background

The Wither is an undead boss mob that floats and shoots explosive skulls at its enemies and is currently the only directly player-made hostile mob in the game.

The fight varies across Minecraft editions; it is much harder in Bedrock, which includes two times more health, new attacks, and animations to this boss and is fast-paced.

Their drops are a good amount of experience and the nether star, a crafting ingredient for beacons.

Equipment

• Wither Skeletons: The Wither will summon three Wither Skeletons midway through its fight to overwhelm targets. Like the Wither itself, these wither skeletons can inflict the wither effect on struck targets.

  Wither Skeleton

Other

Standard Tactics: Before engaging in combat whatsoever, the Wither remains idol and Invincible for about ten seconds. Once at full health, a massive explosion triggers around it and the Wither begins to fire wither skulls at the nearest target. Upon taking a significant amount of damage, an aura will appear around the Wither preventing projectiles from damaging it. Furthermore, the Wither will summon approximately three wither skeletons to fight beside it.

Weaknesses: The Wither, being an undead mob, is weak to Potions of Healing, making healing-based abilities a major threat to it.
