Wither is a very special kind of boss in Minecraft. There are no site restrictions on its generation. At the same time, both the damage and HP are one level higher than that of the Ender Dragon, making it extremely troublesome to fight. So, in survival mode, how should we quickly defeat the wither and get the nether star?
If we want to defeat the wither, we still need to do a lot of preparations. One of them is to make a ritual platform to summon the wither. The survival conditions of the wither in the game are very harsh and usually cannot be generated naturally. We need to put soul sand or soul soil into place. Make it into a T shape, and then cover it with three withered skulls to be summoned.
This summoning mechanism makes it difficult to copy wither in batches. Although the soul sand can be collected in the nether world, the channels for obtaining wither skulls are limited. In the Java version, wither skulls can only be obtained by defeating wither skeletons. The chance of each skeleton dropping a head is 2.5%, which means that we usually have to brush up the skull monster 120 times. In the bedrock version, we can also induce lightning creepers to blow up the wanderer and get a head steadily.
As the most powerful BOSS in the current version, Wither has a blood volume of 150 points. It will take a very long time to successfully defeat it. In addition to collecting summoning materials, we also need to prepare corresponding equipment and props based on the characteristics of the BOSS itself. In addition to preparing regular recovery items, melee weapons and armor enchantments are particularly important. Wither itself will be equipped with the "Wither Armor" buff when its blood volume is below 50%. After that, it will be completely immune to long-range strikes from arrows, and we can only fight with it hand-to-hand, which makes the diamond sword indispensable. In terms of enchantment, because wither is an undead creature, the "undead killer" enchantment can provide us with a lot of additional output.
The choice of armor should also be based on the diamond suit with the highest protection value to help us achieve the purpose of protracted warfare. It is worth noting that the Wither itself will launch the "Wither Head" projectile props, causing explosive damage to creatures and blocks within the range. The amount of damage is equivalent to the fireball of the ghast. Among them, the rare blue Wither Head will cause explosive damage to creatures and blocks within the range. We inflict heavy knockback. Therefore, when fighting against wither, the armor enchantment with the "explosion protection" buff will have the best effect, being immune to part of the wither's head damage and slowing down the knockback effect.
After the summoning materials and equipment are ready, the next step is the actual combat stage. What you need to pay special attention to at this stage is to stay away from the coverage area of the wither summoning platform. After the wither is completely summoned, it will also produce a powerful explosion, which will cause more damage to the character than the lightning creeper. Once it is affected by the center of the explosion, This will put us at a health disadvantage in the game.
The most difficult feature of Wither is the automatic blood recovery mechanism. Normally, one point of blood will be restored every second, and 5 points of blood will be restored after killing any unit. Since Wither is hostile to most creatures, So it's easy to get extra health recovery. During the battle, we should try our best to guide the BOSS to an open field to prevent it from running around. At the same time, a quick victory is the best option, otherwise every second of delay means that the BOSS's upper limit of blood volume increases by 1 point.
Generally speaking, as the ultimate boss, the wither strength is higher than that of the ender dragon. Usually we need better equipment and precise enchanting effects. Of course, facing such a behemoth with 150 health points, patience is definitely the most important thing.
