Frequently asked questions

Does this mod stop the wither from breaking blocks entirely?
Yes, it removes the wither's block-destroying behavior, so the fight happens without terrain damage. The wither still moves, shoots projectiles, and damages entities normally.
Do I need to configure anything after installing it?
No, the mod works out of the box with its default behavior. If you want finer control, check the configuration section for options that toggle which destruction types are blocked.
Will the wither still break blocks during its spawn explosion?
The spawn explosion is a separate event from the wither's ongoing block-breaking, so check your config to confirm whether it's covered. If your arena relies on the spawn blast being harmless, test it in a safe area first.
Can the wither still destroy blocks placed by other mods?
Block protection generally applies to any block the wither would normally break, including modded ones. If a specific modded block still gets destroyed, that mod may handle its own destruction rules outside the vanilla path.
