Hitbox size	Height: 0.3125 Blocks Width: 0.3125 Blocks

2.0

In 2.0, the pink wither could be summoned by placing a potted rose on top of pink wool. The newly spawned mob has one head.

The pink wither would follow players holding sugar, and feeding it sugar would cause it to grow more heads, up to a maximum of three.

The mob is a hostile, undead mob.

Unlike the normal wither the pink wither is not able to fly.

When a pink wither skull hits a block it grows plants in an area of 15x4x15 blocks.

15w14a

In 15w14a, the pink wither replaces the wither, firing skulls with a bone meal effect.

When spawned, the friendly wither has three heads like a normal wither. It also creates an explosion effect after spawning and has a shield after losing half of its health. The skulls fired by the pink wither firing are the same as the regular wither's, but pink instead of black. The pink wither's skulls often heal the entities, but can damage them, too.

Unlike the wither, pink wither does not drop a nether star upon death.

Drops

The pink wither drops 50 and a Nether Star.
