Hostility Level (Hostile)

A wither boss is a hostile mob. The termÂ mobÂ is short forÂ mobileÂ and is used to refer to all living, moving creatures in the game such as chickens, creepers, and wither bosses. Because a wither boss is a hostile mob, it will attack you in Survival mode but not Creative mode.

Health Points

A wither boss is a boss mob which has a purple health bar that goes down as it takes damage. When the purple health bar is depleted, the wither boss will die.

Â for health. This gives a wither boss 300 health points (because 1 heart = 2 health points). To kill a wither boss, you need to inflict 300 points of damage to the wither boss.

Where to Find Wither Bosses

A wither boss will not spawn naturally in the game, but you canÂ build a wither bossÂ yourself. The materials that you need to build one are found in theÂ Nether.

Drops

When you kill a wither boss in Minecraft, it will drop aÂ nether star.

Make sure you pick up any dropped items before they disappear. They are useful and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.

Experience Points

As you play the game, you will gain experience. The most common way to gain experience is by killing mobs. When a mob is killed you will see tiny green and yellow balls appear and move towards you.
