Unlike other mobs, this boss does not spawn on its own. To summon it, you will need 3 Wither Skeleton skulls and 4 blocks of Soul Sand or Soul Soil. However, the materials aren’t easy to come by.
Where to Find Wither Skeleton Skulls
It can be obtained from Wither Skeletons, which spawn exclusively in Nether Fortresses. These dark and tall enemies pose a serious threat. The drop rate for a skull is not very high—only 2.5%. The "Looting III" enchantment can help increase this rate to 5.5%. Therefore, obtaining three skulls will require a significant amount of time and a lot of defeated skeletons.
How to Build the Structure
Now, let’s move on to how to spawn the wither in Minecraft. It’s best to do this in a location you don’t mind losing, as after its appearance, there might be nothing left of the area…
- Choose a location—preferably deep underground or in a deserted desert where the boss cannot destroy anything important.
- Build a T-shape using Soul Sand—three blocks in a row and one block beneath the center.
- Place 3 skeleton skulls on top. The third skull must be last if you don’t want to summon the boss prematurely.
- After spawning, the Wither will charge for about 10 seconds before it begins to attack.

The Wither is not only known for its destructive power but also for its cunning and merciless behavior. It fires charged projectiles, deals significant damage, and inflicts the "Wither" effect. It slowly drains health and prevents quick regen. In addition, this monster has high health regen, making it an even more formidable opponent.

When the boss spawns, it begins to destroy everything in its path. There are just a few proven methods to deal with this powerful foe:
⚔️ Narrow Combat. The safest option is to summon the boss in a narrow tunnel deep underground. There, it won’t be able to fly or destroy the surroundings, and you can attack it freely.
⚔️ Using the End Portal. Another option is to spawn the Wither beneath an End Portal frame. In this location, it will get stuck, unable to attack, and become an easy target.
⚔️ Fair Fight. For those who want to test themselves in a real battle, you will need Netherite armor, an enchanted bow, healing potions, and a sword. Start by using the bow, and when the boss’s health drops below half, it will descend to the ground—then you can switch to melee combat.
