Pointless
This farm/trap is VERY expensive, and the only drop a Wither has is a Nether Star, for beacons. A much more efficiant way of making a beacon is making a tower of dirt up to layer 256. Meeples10 19:46, 21 April 2013 (UTC)


 * A tower of dirt is not a beacon, it's a tower of dirt.  19:50, 21 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I know that. But, building a tower of dirt up to the height limit has the same purpose as a beacon. ×Meeples10× 21:27, 29 April 2013 (UTC)


 * A tower of dirt does not imbue the player with special effects, so no, not the same purpose.  21:30, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Doesn't work
1. Anvils are capped at 12 hearts of damage. 2. Blue wither skulls can break obsidian. hotdogPi-t--c--Try my quiz! Do not click! 21:55, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Doesn't Work For Me
I can get the Wither stuck in the bedrock, but after hitting him once he flies above the bedrock where I cannot reach him. Luckily I tested it in creative before using up my Wither Skeleton Skulls. Mcpantsonfire 19:27, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
 * The video tutorial includes one key detail which is not mentioned in the article itself - the center bedrock block must have open space above it, and finding one can be rather tricky. -- Quietust, 21:25, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Flick the Lever
The instructions say to "flick the lever" without previously mentioning a lever being placed. This is lazy writing.

Fail.
This mainly how to KILL the Wither, not FARM it. I demand immediate total rewrite! NOW! –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Crazytobuildmc (talk • contribs) at 16:36, 11 April 2015 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * If you want a rewrite now, then rewrite it, or move the current page to a title more correct for its content. Demanding things is not how we do things here.
 * As for the title, killing the wither is needed to farm it, so that is accurate. – KnightMiner  t/c 18:04, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, sorry sorry sorry etc. But mainly (excluding XP Farms), a Mob Farm is designed to spawn, then, at the 'Grinder', automatically kill mobs in order to collect their drops. So, I will rename this page to 'Wither Combat and Farming'.
