Trivia
- The Nether Star is the second boss drop to be added to Minecraft, the first being the Dragon Egg, which is dropped by the Ender Dragon when it is defeated. However, of the two drops, only the Nether Star has a use beyond that of a decoration.
- Although The Nether and the Wither resemble darkness, and utilize colors such as red and black, the Nether Star is brighter and has colors like blue and yellow.
