Wither's Wrath Mod — Guide

The Wither Boss

The Wither in this mod is significantly more powerful than its vanilla counterpart. It possesses higher armor values and innate knockback resistance to prevent players from easily 'pinning' it during the fight.

Base Statistics

Summoning

The summoning process remains identical to vanilla (4 Soul Sand/Soul Soil in a T-shape with 3 Wither Skeleton Skulls). However, the mod adds a custom 'Spawn Animation' where the Wither remains invulnerable while charging its initial explosion.

Wither Fight Phases

The fight is divided into four distinct phases based on the boss's remaining health. Each phase introduces new threats and requires different strategies.

Phase 1: The Aerial Assault (100% - 50% HP)

In the initial phase, the Wither stays airborne, raining down standard and homing skulls. It moves faster than the vanilla Wither and actively attempts to maintain distance from the player.

Phase 2: Wither Shield & Minions (50% HP)

Upon reaching 300 HP, the Wither activates its Wither Armor, becoming immune to projectiles (arrows, tridents). * Summoning: It immediately summons 3-4 Wither Skeletons to defend it. * Reinforcements: Throughout this phase, it may occasionally spawn Blazes to provide fire support.

Phase 3: Berserk & Dash (Below 100 HP)

When the Wither is near death, it enters a 'Final Stand' mode. * Dash Attack: The Wither will periodically charge at the player with high velocity, dealing massive physical damage and knocking the player back. * Increased Fire Rate: The frequency of skull projectiles increases significantly.

Phase 4: Death Explosion (0 HP)

Unlike the vanilla Wither which simply disappears, the Wither's Wrath version triggers a violent, high-radius explosion upon death. Players must clear the area immediately after the final blow is dealt.

Mechanics & Special Attacks

The mod introduces several unique projectile types and movement mechanics to keep the player on the move.

• Homing Skulls: These skulls are slower and deal slightly less damage than standard skulls but will track the player's movement. They cannot be outrun easily; blocking with a shield is the recommended counter.
• Blue Skulls: Ported from Bedrock Edition, these skulls have a higher blast resistance bypass, meaning they can destroy blocks that are normally blast-resistant.
• Bedrock Dash: A horizontal charge attack that breaks blocks in its path and deals heavy contact damage.
• Healing: The Wither heals a small amount of health whenever it successfully deals damage to a mob or player.

Items & Rewards

Defeating the overhauled Wither provides the standard Nether Star, along with a unique commemorative item.
