The pink wither or friendly wither was a recurring April Fools' mob present in both Java Edition 2.0 and 15w14a.

Behavior

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.

As a pink wither moves it applied an effect similar to bone meal on surrounding block and would also heal surrounding mobs. The area affected increased with the number of heads. The mob is a hostile, undead mob.

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.
