Withers and Wither Skeletons

[Artagan]

Players will soon be able to make extremely powerful monsters at will, provided they collect the right materials.

Discuss, placing emphasis on any future rules related to the Wither.

 

[Magpieman]

We do not yet know full details on this as it is likely to change before the update is released however and block damage caused by the wither will be turned off, i am certain of this.

 

[Cryptite]

Aside from turning off block damage, I see no other reason to interfere with what would otherwise be an awesome way to wreak havoc on a town. It's vanilla after all.

At will providing you have the right materials which include 3 incredibly rare skulls from uncommon skeletons that spawn in the nether. We won't be seeing them very often.

They spawn in fortresses, so about as rare as blazes.

Yeah, and naturally spawning blazes are pretty uncommon.

Didn't we have three working blaze grinders at one time, one of them a double spawner?

Yes but withers don't have spawners.

 

[KenuDragonfire]

Not yet anyways.

 

[Zor95]

When Blazes were added to the first 1.9 beta pre-release their spawners were added with them. Pigmen and Ghasts don't have spawners at all. It is very likely that no Wither mob will have a natural spawner.

Not what I meant, but ok.

I have no idea what you meant as blaze grinders are unrelated to this subject :3

I didn't mean I thought Wither Skeletons had spawners, I meant that I thought they would spawn in fortresses to the same degree that pigmen spawn outside of them, in the nether.

Nooo... not even close. They have the exact same spawning conditions and, at the moment, rarity of a blaze naturally spawning in a fortress.

I thought, I didn't say with complete conviction.
