Pink Wither build configuration.

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 was an undead mob that would follow players holding sugar, and feeding it sugar would cause it to grow more heads, up to a maximum of three. Unlike the normal wither, the pink wither is not able to fly and when a pink wither skull hits a block it grows plants in a radius of 15×4×15 blocks.

15w14a[edit | edit source]

In 15w14a, the pink wither replaces the wither, firing skulls that have a bone meal effect instead of the normal Wither II effect.

When spawned, the pink 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.

Drops[edit | edit source]

The pink wither drops 150XP and a ItemSprite nether-star.png: Sprite image for nether-star in Minecraft linking to Nether StarNether Star when killed, a bit like its normal counterpart.
