How to Summon the Withender

Obtaining the Wither Staff

Before summoning the Withender, you must first defeat the Pillager Boss. This encounter may drop the Wither Staff—an essential item for the next summoning ritual. If the boss doesn't drop it initially, you may need to defeat it again.

Building and Activating the Statue

The Withender summons similarly to the vanilla Wither, but with a key difference:

1. Build a T-shaped statue using Enderman heads instead of Wither skulls

2. Stack three Enderman heads vertically for the body

3. Place one Enderman head on each side of the top for "arms"

4. Sneak and right-click on the middle (top) head to complete the summoning

The Withender will spawn and begin its attack. Ensure you have adequate armor, weapons, and healing supplies before attempting this fight. The Withender is a significant step up in difficulty, so prepare accordingly.
