About this project

What does Withering Heights: Revamped Wither add?

title

Introduction

This mod/datapack aims to completely overhaul the Wither fight by providing some general improvements and a set of destructive moves that revolve around the theme of explosions and chaos.

The Wither will be a more fun and difficult fight, like its Bedrock cousin.

Admin Commands

Configuration: "/function wither_rework:config"

Uninstallation: "/function wither_rework:uninstall"

Give Soul String: "/function wither_rework:give/soul_rocker"

Features

Implemented

  • The Wither will now play boss music when it is spawned. (v1.1)

  • The Wither's health has been increased from a measly 300 to an enormous 600 points.

  • Adding onto that, it now boasts 20 armour and 10 armour toughness. However, there will be ways for you to disable his defences whilst fighting him.

  • The Wither will no longer fly high above the player so it can actually be hit. (Configurable)

  • Upon being spawned, a splash text will be displayed for all players in range of the Wither.

  • 2 Phases.

  • 5 New attacks that you will be able to learn and adapt to.

  • A death animation for the Wither.

  • Ambience added to the Nether Star when dropped from the Wither.

  • A new craftable weapon using the Nether Star. (v1.1)

Plans

  • Dynamic difficulty scaling (Based on world difficulty)

Warning: Do not fight the Wither near anything you find valuable.

Attacks

Details

Attack 1
The Wither ascends high up and sprays the ground with Wither Skulls. However, it cannot shoot directly under himself.

Attack 2
The Wither retreats and charges back at the closest mob. After reaching its target, it will explode.

Attack 3
The Wither flies above the player and slams down on them, creating a massive explosion. The Wither will be stunned for some time after this.

Attack 4
Sparks release from The Wither and it will follow the nearest player while periodically exploding.

Attack 5
The Wither will fire out homing projectiles from the top of itself which explode when they make contact with something. These projectiles will stop following entities once it gets close to a target.

Recommendations

Gear

  • I advise you to wear at least full diamond armour, with any level of protection. (Ideally some blast protection too.)

  • For your sword, diamond + smite or anything matching that damage will do just fine.

  • Bring a Shield.

Or you can fight it with Iron-level equipment if you're skilled enough.

Datapacks / Resourcepacks

Datapacks

This datapack adds music from MC Dungeons, pairs very well with the chaotic nature of the newly improved Wither:

Resource Packs

Bosses Refreshed makes the wither look more menacing along with the Ender Dragon/Guardian:

AL's Boss Rush also looks great if you prefer the vanilla feel:

Using any resource pack that makes Wither Hearts more visible is also advised.

Credits

The Wither's boss music uses Terraria's OST, Eater of Worlds.

Permission

If you wish to use this mod/datapack in any public form, then go ahead! However, I would appreciate it if you give me credit.
