Withered Nether Star

The 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.
