Wither Cage Fix Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I stop my Wither from forgetting what it's attacking?
This mod fixes that automatically—once installed, Withers will retain their target even when chunks unload, so you don't need to keep the area loaded or use workarounds anymore.
How do I turn off the Wither's blue skull attacks?
Use the gamerule `wither_cage_fix:allowBlueWitherSkulls` and set it to `false` (it's false by default). You can change this per-world or per-session depending on your needs.
Do I need to do anything special to set up a Wither farm with this mod?
No—just build a basic cage around your Wither and point it at blocks or mobs you want to farm. The mod handles target retention automatically, so you can walk away and come back without the Wither losing focus.
Why is my Wither still shooting blue skulls even though I installed the mod?
Check that the gamerule `wither_cage_fix:allowBlueWitherSkulls` is actually set to `false`; if you set it to `true` or didn't change it in a previous world, blue skulls will still spawn.
Can I use this mod on a server?
Yes, the mod works on both single-player and multiplayer servers; the gamerule can be configured per-server in the server properties or changed in-game by an operator.
Does this mod affect Wither spawning or health?
No, this mod only fixes target retention and blue skull behavior—it doesn't change how Withers spawn, their health, or their damage output.
What happens if I disable the mod mid-farm?
Existing Withers will revert to vanilla behavior and may forget their targets if chunks unload; it's best to remove or disable the mod only when you're not actively using a Wither farm.
Does this mod work with other mods that change Wither behavior?
It should work with most mods, but if you're using other mods that heavily modify Withers, test your setup to make sure there are no conflicts or unexpected interactions.
Can I use this mod in Creative mode?
Yes, the mod works in all game modes; the gamerule applies to Creative, Survival, and Adventure mode equally.
Do I need to restart my world after changing the blue skull gamerule?
No, gamerule changes take effect immediately, so you can toggle `wither_cage_fix:allowBlueWitherSkulls` on and off without restarting.
