Pink Wither

The pink wither or friendly wither was a recurring April Fools' mob present in both Java Edition 2.0 and 15w14a.

2.0
In 2.0, the pink wither could be summoned by placing a potted rose on top of pink wool. The newly spawned mob has one head.

The pink wither would follow players holding sugar, and feeding it said sugar would cause it to grow more heads, up to a maximum of three.

It would apply an effect similar to bone meal upon surrounding blocks, whose range would be increased by its head count. It would also heal surrounding mobs.

The mob is considered undead and classified as hostile

15w14a
In 15w14a, the pink wither replaces the wither, firing skulls with a bone meal effect.

When spawned, the friendly wither has three heads like a normal wither. Like the wither, it creates an explosion effect.

The skulls fired by the pink wither firing are the same as the regular wither's, but pink instead of black.

Like the regular wither, the pink wither displays a shield around itself when its health is less than half of what it was originally; the pink wither has in total.

Trivia

 * In 15w14a, a pink coloured boss bar named "Wither" shows up when spawning the pink wither. This is due to it replacing the regular wither.
 * In 15w14a, unlike TNT, the explosion of the pink wither upon spawning it damages the player, mobs, but also blocks.
