Installing and Using the Wither Summoning Animation

Setup Requirements

This resource pack requires OptiFine to function properly, as it uses custom block models and animations that the vanilla launcher cannot display. Install OptiFine first, then load this pack through your resource packs menu.

What to Expect

When you summon the Wither using soul sand and skulls, you'll see a dramatic change from the instant spawn. Instead, the soul sand blocks will shake and animate as the boss slowly rises from the ground. Wither body parts gradually replace the placed blocks during the summoning sequence before the monster takes its final form and becomes hostile.

The custom animations work alongside most other resource packs you may already have installed, so you can layer this with your preferred visual mods without conflicts.
