Talk:Wither

Wither Skeleton Skull paradox?
Okay. Let me get things straight. I haven't read every single discussion, so I don't know if someone has said this already, but nevertheless, how are you supposed to find Wither Skeleton Heads if you have to make a Wither and kill it to get one? Or do they spawn naturally? I didn't see that in the page, but if so how do you find them and where? Please, send someone to my aid to help me with my confusion!! 8-| –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.56.0.14 (talk) at 18:46, 1 January 2015 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * You kill wither skeletons. -MinecraftPhotos4U (talk) 19:03, 1 January 2015 (UTC)


 * The wither itself drops a nether star, not a skull. Fyreboy5 (talk) 15:12, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Kill wither skeletons to get their skulls. You have to be patient because the skulls are rare drops. It only has a 2% chance of dropping it. I'd recommend using a weapon enchanted with looting III --Theneonracer137 (talk) 23:20, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Global AF?
For some reason, I can't add a video to this page. It's supposed to show the Wither's new PE "dash attack." But "Global AF" won't let me add it. A little help? --Magmaface (talk) 13:25, 19 October 2016 (UTC)


 * It was triggered by the external link in your edit. We can't do anything about the global filters, they apply to all of gamepedia. Once you've made a few edits, they won't apply to you any more. –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 07:22, 20 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Got it.

What even?
Now whatever edit I make there resets. Why? Magmaface (talk) 15:23, 27 October 2016 (UTC)


 * You can read the edit history to see the edit summaries on whoever reverted your edits.
 * I saw you were putting a video in a reference; just to let you know, that isn't something you can do. Please see Help:Official_sources for what counts as a reference, in this wiki.  Also right at the top of the page, it says that you don't need a reference if it is something you can see in the game.  So you don't need a reference for the wither's new PE attack. –  Sealbudsman talk/contr 15:34, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

That makes sense, now. Magmaface (talk) 15:36, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

Orientation?
Can someone please clarify what this sentence in the "Spawning" section means?

"The block arrangement can have any orientation: it can be upright, flat, sideways, and even upside-down." SlimyJoey (talk) 18:09, 30 November 2016 (UTC)


 * It means you can rotate that block arrangement, and it will still make a Wither, even if you build it sideways, upside-down, etc. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 18:49, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

The Wither seeing Invisible players in Console Edition
(the anon who made a recent edit to this page indicating that the Wither can see invisible mobs), can we identify whether in Console Edition, the Invisibility effect is ineffective against mobs in general, as it says in ?

If Invisibility doesn't affect how any mob can see players in Console Edition, then we should move that anon's note to the Invisibility page and remove it from here. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 23:06, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Can a Console Edition player test this? The BlobsPaper.png 23:20, 10 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi guys. IP editor that did the edit, here.


 * I've got the Vita next to me, I'll have a run around a snow biome at night while Invisibile and see what happens, expect another reply stating if mobs saw me or not. 92.234.189.34 23:24, 10 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Okay I've got some results. Tested 2 Zombies, a Spider, a Skeleton, and 2 Creepers. Pretty much all of them looked at me but didn't attack. They do attack however, if you push them or hit them. It sounds to me like it's something 4J Studios would have called fixed? Makes sense that they'd know you're there when you push them. I think? Draw your own conclusions on that I guess. 92.234.189.34 23:49, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Suspicious redirect from last "reference" on page.
The last item in the "References" section promises to go to "   http://ata4.info/mcdim/", but in fact goes to "theclickcheck.com", which demands to know where you came from and sports an apparently non-functional "Continue" button. --MentalMouse42 (talk) 16:09, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
