Nether Star

The Nether Star is the drop for the Wither, the boss of the Nether, and it will be essential to craft the Beacon block in the future. It's a renewable item, since Wither can be spawned by placing Soul Sand in a T shape and placing three Skeleton Heads on top.

Use
The only use of the Nether star is that can be used as a crafting ingredient to craft the Beacon block.

Trivia

 * It's the counterpart of the Dragon Egg, since both are dropped by a boss of a dimension.
 * The Nether star is the second boss drop introduced, after the Dragon Egg
 * Unlike the Dragon Egg, the Nether star is not useless, since it can be used to craft the Beacon block.
 * It has two textures: 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.
 * One of them will be used, most likely the bright one, because the Beacon block has a little pale yellow block inside.
