Nether Star

The Nether Star is a drop of the Wither, the boss of The Nether and it will be essential to craft the Beacon in the future.

Use
It is required to craft Beacons. As it is acquired from Withers, which require non-renewable Soul Sand to spawn, this item is also non-renewable.

Trivia

 * It's the second boss drop, the first one is the Dragon Egg.
 * It appears that there are two textures for Nether Stars: the purple one [[File:Grid Old Nether star.png]], a whole light purple star; and the bright one [[File:Grid Nether Star.png]], a pale yellow and very light green star. However, the real texture is the bright one, but the blur of the star makes it purple.
 * Although The Nether and the Wither resemble darkness, and utilize colors such as red and black, the Nether Star is brighter and has colors like green and yellow.
 * The Nether's "sky" is closed by the Bedrock, so the Nether Star is not a real star, probably a mineral with a star shape.
 * All the mob drops are related to the mobs they are obtained from: Spider Eye, Rotten Flesh, Dragon Egg... But the Nether Star is the only item isn't related to the mob is obtained from (Wither), along with the Wither Skeleton.
