Minecraft Story Mode:Withered Nether Star



The Withered Nether Star, also known as the Wither Storm Nether Star, is an item found in Minecraft: Story Mode. It was dropped by the Wither Storm and first appears in "A Block and a Hard Place".

Appearance
The Withered Nether Star looks similar to that of a regular Nether Star, but is instead colored purplish-black to match the Wither Storm's color scheme. A regular Nether Star also exists in Minecraft: Story Mode, but, unlike its Withered Nether Star counterpart, it is not attributed to the defeat of the Wither Storm; rather, it is connected to the defeat of a normal Wither.

Usage
The Withered Nether Star is much more powerful than a regular Nether Star. It has the power to power at least nine beacons. This is shown when Jessie places it in the center of Beacontown's beacon.

Trivia

 * In Episode 5, a normal Nether Star can also be seen on display inside the Order Hall.
 * Though there are beacons are already placed on the pyramid in the center of Beacontown, they do not activate until the Withered Nether Star is placed in the center.
 * The Nether Star is then removed as it is seen in the Order Hall in the episode "Order Up!". The Beacons seem unaffected by it's absence.
 * The Corrupted Beacon from Minecraft Dungeons may have taken inspiration from this.
