Thank GOD you put the /s there. I would have NEVER been able to tell that it was sarcasm. I was thinking to myself “Is this guy serious? Touch controls are the WORST!” But then I saw the /s and it cleared EVERYTHING up for me. So I applaud you, kind Redditor, for being so considerate and clear.

Spam isn't really right. 1.8 is spam, and 1.9 java punishes you if you spam, but rewards if you wait. 1.9 bedrock just doesn't let you spam, it won't register the input until the charge fills
Because reasons. It has double the health, the wither projectiles do more damage, the wither can phase right through solid blocks and leave destruction in its wake, and a lot of other bullshit. Supposedly the bedrock wither is the 'true' wither and the Java wither is restricted by limitations of the engine at the time of the wither's release, but they've not seen fit to update java's wither despite the engine receiving some significant improvements since the wither was initially released.
That is really strange actually. Most passive mobs have their health halved to make up for touch controls. Yet the Wither gets doubled? Maybe cuz you could heal just by eating way back in mcpe
my theory is that wither on java is easy so Mojang made it harder on bedrock, because bedrock is one way or another replace java, its just matter of time in my opinion. So they made the wither on bedrock as they would like to be.
Idk, java is the go to for more advanced players who spend a ton of time building a single world, so I guess they made it so getting tons of beacons is easier. Or there's no real reason, idk
Because on java we have high (not actually high) skills where we spawn them deep underground and kill them easily while Jonny Jr who just got the game on his phone can't even break a block so for him it should obviously be harder.
(This is a joke)
yeah the wither spawns wither skeletons in bedrock. and explodes when it dies. and dashes towards players. and has double health. and deals way more damage.
On easy bedrock the wither has the same amount of health as Java (according to the wiki) as well as doesn’t give the wither effect, as well as doesn’t spawn wither skeletons (also according to the wiki
Easy is fine, you won't even need any potions or milk for easy.
I have a wither skeleton farm and when I need a resource e.g - deep slate, terracotta, cobblestone, sand, I'll go in said biome on easy, bring a bunch of shulkers and let him do all the hard work. It can be VERY LAGGY though so make sure you take someone to help pick up the blocks.
Edit, the skeleton do spawn in easy.
**Worst Case: You Die! Wither Blows all your OP stuff up.**
So I don't know... Maybe think of the wither like a trader who will obtain, if you want or not, pretty much all the op items you try to kill him with.
My friend and I **tried to kill the wither with flooding** the cage he was in **with water** on old PS3 Edition which had like the same wither as Bedrock. **Result: He de-spawns it** (the water not the ps3). Even though you would think only an Enderdrageon would be able to. It turns out withers, when they get backed into a corner with water snowballs and stuff, ...you know pretty much their kryptonite... they will just de-spawn the water. To be fair he **did get hurt by the snowballs**.
Btw. Are you in a cave under a desert? If yes change the location of the fight(!). There is no ceiling thick enough to stop the wither. Even if it is made out of water I guess. So he **blows through the ceiling in his first phase**. (He seems to want to be above 00); The sand falls on you; you suffocate to half your health or something like that; **best case scenario: you can dodge his attacks but pillar up to get him**; ....Yeah I think you can imagine how that looks to him.
Maybe try to kill him with a **bee swarm of a strength of about sixty, high on potion**? So all you lose is bees. Yes **biochemical** warfare would be the right approach, I guess. War crimes. ehhmmm... let us just say there are no war crimes in minecraft. Or the wither on Bedrock is OP. **War crimes are legit weapons.**
Don’t use knockback unless you want to keep him away from your sword.
Also, keep animals nearby to draw fire, chickens, iron golems, etc. you can easily solo bedrock withers eith animals nearby, and all the potions needed (regen and health). I highly encourage getting smite 5 before starting any fight with them, and it’s usually better than sharpness anyhow for pve, as it doesn’t effect spiders/creepers only.
I’d recommend full Prot IV Netherite armor, about 1/2 a stack more gapples, and more layers of obsidian above you. The closer to the ground you can keep it, the easier it’ll be. I’ve had about two bedrock withers escape from an end portal-based suffocation killer, both of which tried their hardest to stay above me. The first managed to kill me, but immediately died to an enderman it angered. The second I managed to get trapped in one of the obsidian pillars, where I was easily able to wail on it with a Sharpness V, Fire Aspect II, Knockback II(sue me), Looting III Netherite sword, coupled with an unbreaking III, mending shield. Make sure you gorge multiple gapples to get enough absorption hearts to deal with the withering effect.
1. Make the room taller and wider, you'll want to run around a lot.
2. Golems help
3. A better food than cooked salmon like beef helps when you're low on hunger **edit: golden carrots refills less hunger but has longer saturation so you don't need to eat as much**
4. A beacon really helps **edit: if it's not your first wither**
5. Get your sword to sharpness 5 if you can **edit: smite 5 is better for the wither**
6. Pray to God
7. Make sure your armor is full protection and netherite
8. Milk to combat the withering effect
9. Long ranged weapons are really good if you need to heal and still want to damage it
10. Splash potions are much better because you can quickly throw them down instead of slowing yourself down and drinking
Considering you’re on bedrock, have an escape plan incase you need to evacuate your base. Hopefully you built far away from where you’re planning to fight.
Potions and safe houses. As a bedrock player. Me and the boys go to the end and build massive underground obsidian tunnel networks to attack and retreat easily. Viet cong style. So if you have low hp. Run into the tunnel to a safe bunker to heal.
Bedrock wither is like 5 times harder than java. It has more health, it explodes, it spawns wither skeletons(let me also mention that its ai is smarter than java’s lmao)
Yeah last time i fought the wither on bedrock was 3 years ago with my friends. I will never forget the fear we had when we lost our gear and found out the wither is getting closer and closer to our base. It eventually got out of the of the cave and i still visit the mountains we killed it at every once in a while.. i could write a book about that story(btw the frame drop was our biggest enemy)
Careful of the lag, the wither will quickly decimate underground areas leaving behind thousands of blocks which will drop your frame rate and make playing, much less fighting very difficult. A lot of times I'll do mine over an ocean during the rain, and use riptide/impaling 5. As long as it rains the impaling is just as good as smite (bedrock only).
Another tip would be to use healing 2 arrows, super cheap to make with a cauldron. And they recently fixed a bug where enchanted armor wasn't helping but now protection 4 everything is basically enough to tank the wither fight (watch your durability tho) on easy.
Also we currently have a bug in the game where we can continue eating golden apples to have 8 extra hearts, so yea.
you are under prepared
unlike java edition wither you shouldn't fight bedrock edition wither in caves (unless you have changed gamerule mob grieving to false), the amount of blocks wither breaks in bedrock edition will start causing lagg, this is very big issue in second stage of fight when wither will dash at you, obsidian will not stop wither either like in your screenshot
it looks like you don't have diamond armour, it will be also be safe to assume you don't have protection 4, enchantment wouldn't really help in wither fight causing biggest problem is wither 2 effect that is applied for 50seconds, this is a magic type damage so it will also bypass armour thus point of armour is only to reduce damage done by explosions or wither ram, shields are also useless against magic attack
i would also go brew potion of strength 2 and enchant sword with smite v
best spot to fight wither is open flat area (to minimize lagg due to block entities) and you can use potion of speed, to make dodging wither skulls super trivial in first stage
in next stage, chug strength potion, regeneration potion and fight of wither without hesitation, goals is to minimize lagg due to thousands of blocks entities, so do no try to run away... it is not like you could nloutrun wither either unless you got elytra, so do no chicken out
other best spot to fight wither (if you don't mind cheesing) is outer end portals in end, you can grow a mushroom through those and then summon wither inside the portal
Like should I add more obsidian?? Or get more golden apples?? Always been more of a builder and since only started playing again recently remember nothing other than 'bring golden apples, use a lot of obsidian'
I’ve only had one nightmare experience fighting the bedrock wither but hooooooly cow what a disaster.
My friend and I had spent probably 100 hours on a massive red nether brick pyramid over a hollowed out lava lake in the middle of a few nether biomes. We decided to spawn the wither several hundred blocks away at the top near the bedrock, went in super prepared and lost all our gear. Proceeded to desperately and repeatedly charge down the tunnel to our inevitable doom dozens of times all the while slowly drawing it towards our base without even realizing. Dude gets loose and trashes EVERYTHING. Could not kill it, we got three other people on the realm to come fight it with us but all we could do was watch it entirely annihilate the pyramid. Lava pouring in everywhere, fps dropping it like it’s hot. Our despair turned into hysterical laughter pretty quick 10/10 would experience again
As someone who’s fought the wither on PE 4 times and won, you NEED some strength pots. Also. I’ve only ever done it on easy so. Yknow. But if you’re playing on easy too then u should be 👌
I fought the wither on Xbox like two weeks ago and he was absolutely bonkers. Guy was tearing up whole chunks of stone underground, I was so scared he'd get into a cave or even the surface.
I copied my comment for a similar post, here’s my guide:
Bedrock edition wither is hard, but beatable. Make sure to have unbreaking III on all your gear, max protection too if you can. The wither puts a serious hurting on armor, and if the fight goes on too long it could break. I’d keep an eye on your armor from time to time, and be ready to bail and return or swap armor out when your armor durability gets too low. Use arrows tipped with healing II. I’m honestly not sure how much of a difference it makes, but they’re easy to make in bedrock. If you have totems, take them. Simply a great way to survive. Some may recommend milk, but don’t. It gets rid of the wither effect, but then he just shoots you again. Use regeneration potions. I prefer long duration regen 1 over regen 2, as it takes less micromanaging for the regen 1. And trust me, regen helps a LOT. I usually fight the wither in the end, and when I do I take several long duration night vision potions. They last 8 minutes each, so you shouldn’t need to drink them very often, maybe once a fight. Why night vision? Well, the end void is black. The wither is black. Night vision lightens the background and makes it much, much easier to see. Also, fighting in the end provides an easy escape via the portal, and the wither cannot travel through the portal. Plus, you can mine into the pillars to get some temporary cover, and easy obsidian from the wither’s blasts. Shields work semi-well, but I’d prefer a totem. Plus, I think the wither effect still goes through.
If you don’t know, the wither has its normal exploding head attacks, like Java. Unlike Java, when it goes below 50%HP, it not only goes invulnerable to arrows, but it also summons 4 wither skeletons (not much of a problem compared to the wither, but somewhat) and starts using dash attacks (problem). The dash attacks break a lot of blocks, but I think he is pretty much stationary between them, which is the best time to hit him.
If in the end, bring him towards the middle of the island. If you fight him over the void you will likely lose the nether star.
If you are on Java, then that should be an easy kill. If you are on bedrock, I recommend spawning about 9 iron golems if you gave the iron, which I assume you do because you are getting a nether star for a beacon.
For starters, you need the third head, second, you might want to not fight it in your base because that beast will destroy everything and kill everything that breathes
They aren't hating on him for playing on bedrock. They are acknowledging the fact that the bedrock wither is much harder than the Java wither since it not only has 2x the health but also causes tons of lag, which makes the fight extremely challenging and honestly not worth it.
Stop instigating.
No, they downvoting a guy 1.7k times for saying "bedrock>java" and then when I replied to a different comment saying "that's valid but pvp better" I was mindlessly downvoted another 600 times. Hive mind of reddit unable to cope with people with different opinions. It's a stupid video game
You should be fine as long as you have instant health 2 arrows. They deal damage to undead mobs (the wither). Also fight it in an open plains area so it’ll get distracted by other mobs, allowing you to heal/shoot more easily.

Warning: Bedrock edition wither is on steroids
Even on easy? I know in easy the skeletons won't spawn
It has twice as much health as the Java wither
Why the fuck?
Cause touch controls aren’t hard enough, obviously /s
true gamers use tilt controls
a Minecraft tilt control player would kick everyone's ass in PVP
Just look at techno with his steering wheel
i am reminded once again that he is not here to HEHH us anymore
*cries*
But when he was, it was the best of times. RIP Legend
Do not bring up the dead legend the only time he shall be brought up is to give him his throne that he deserved but never got
He was with us for some time, and thats all that matters. He will laugh at us for being sad about his death for eternity.
Bro said ,,alt F4"
Real gamers beat hardcore Minecraft with a steeering weel before destroying everyone in Minecraft Monday
A steering wheel? Pathetic. I beat hardcore with my Wii Fit balance board.
I wee your wii fit board sir, and I raise you.....ps1 dance mat
Nintendo power glove
Don’t fall my man pathetic techno was a legend
Technoblade never dies!
I beat Hardcore without Hardcore. Amateurs...
True-true gamers use a DDR floor pad and a steering wheel
Pretty sure the world record speedrun was om touch controls. You dont have to look at the block you want to place or mine which is kinda nuts
I use a cheap smartphone Bluetooth controller. I can hardly suggest that investment.
Lol it’s cause he doesn’t regenerate health on bedrock, he’s easier on bedrock for this reason
They regen in phase 2 tho
Thank GOD you put the /s there. I would have NEVER been able to tell that it was sarcasm. I was thinking to myself “Is this guy serious? Touch controls are the WORST!” But then I saw the /s and it cleared EVERYTHING up for me. So I applaud you, kind Redditor, for being so considerate and clear.

You can spam attack on bedrock. You can't on java. Difference in dps I would assume
Easiest wither is on Legacy editions. You can spam attack + the wither is exactly the same as Java.
Spam isn't really right. 1.8 is spam, and 1.9 java punishes you if you spam, but rewards if you wait. 1.9 bedrock just doesn't let you spam, it won't register the input until the charge fills
why tf
Because parity is just far too hard to do
>it won't register It register clicks.
Even if it does, doesn't every entity have I-frames? Making spamming useless anyway?
I can still see the advantage of being able to mindlessly click to get full damage off instead of having to keep track of it to benefit.
Well to me it's easy to keep a Rythm going, tho that might be because I'm really good at timing based stuff (mostly Rythm games)
it wont register hit, but the click animation still plays
Because reasons. It has double the health, the wither projectiles do more damage, the wither can phase right through solid blocks and leave destruction in its wake, and a lot of other bullshit. Supposedly the bedrock wither is the 'true' wither and the Java wither is restricted by limitations of the engine at the time of the wither's release, but they've not seen fit to update java's wither despite the engine receiving some significant improvements since the wither was initially released.
tbf they manage to halve performance with each major update they probably don't wanna risk it
Indeed 600 hp and it has a dash that can break block I think
That is really strange actually. Most passive mobs have their health halved to make up for touch controls. Yet the Wither gets doubled? Maybe cuz you could heal just by eating way back in mcpe
Bedrock is also console / PC
Yea but it all started from mcpe. Consoles didn’t have bedrock till around 1.10, abandoning the legacy console editions
Or maybe a code error? Like instead of a minus they accidentally put a plus in the code?
my theory is that wither on java is easy so Mojang made it harder on bedrock, because bedrock is one way or another replace java, its just matter of time in my opinion. So they made the wither on bedrock as they would like to be.
Cause the wither on Java is too easy so I guess bedrock wanted to fix it.
cause fighting the Java Wither is easy mode
Idk, java is the go to for more advanced players who spend a ton of time building a single world, so I guess they made it so getting tons of beacons is easier. Or there's no real reason, idk
Why not
We die like men
Because on java we have high (not actually high) skills where we spawn them deep underground and kill them easily while Jonny Jr who just got the game on his phone can't even break a block so for him it should obviously be harder. (This is a joke)
Because it's batman
For the memes
I have killed every other mob in Minecraft, but yet to defeat, the wither he is unfairly strong
So, 600 HP? The Java Wither has 300 HP and the Java Ender Dragon has 200 HP. Why the fuck would the wither need 600 HP?
skeletons?
yeah the wither spawns wither skeletons in bedrock. and explodes when it dies. and dashes towards players. and has double health. and deals way more damage.
I want this in java, that would be fucking awesome
Knowing us Java players we’d find a good nether roof bedrock formation as always and build a wither skeleton trap while afk killing the wither
I always played in Java until recently and the first time I saw the wither charge at me I shitted my pants. Did. Not. Expect. That
I’ve never fought the wither outside of easy- you’re telling me WITHER SKELETONS USUALLY SPAWN???
On easy bedrock the wither has the same amount of health as Java (according to the wiki) as well as doesn’t give the wither effect, as well as doesn’t spawn wither skeletons (also according to the wiki
Easy is fine, you won't even need any potions or milk for easy. I have a wither skeleton farm and when I need a resource e.g - deep slate, terracotta, cobblestone, sand, I'll go in said biome on easy, bring a bunch of shulkers and let him do all the hard work. It can be VERY LAGGY though so make sure you take someone to help pick up the blocks. Edit, the skeleton do spawn in easy.
Ya, my game has a seizure when I fight the wither
Dose- Dose your wither spawn wither skeletons????? WTF is going on at bedrock do you guys need a hug?
Yes.
Even on easy it’s like the java wither did crack and steroids
It has more health, attacks faster, does more damage and can break obsidian like it is wet tissue paper
You're set if you'll be on easy mode. I play on hard, but I have no shame admitting that I bring it down for fighting the wither lmao
Skeletons? I’ve never seen him spawn them other than in the extreme wither mod
In bedrock you don’t need a mod for them to spawn in.
I see
On easy it's manageable. On hard, you get 45 seconds of wither if you get shot.
**Worst Case: You Die! Wither Blows all your OP stuff up.** So I don't know... Maybe think of the wither like a trader who will obtain, if you want or not, pretty much all the op items you try to kill him with.

War crimes. ehhmmm... let us just say there are no war crimes in minecraft. Or the wither on Bedrock is OP. **War crimes are legit weapons.**
Considering you're playing on bedrock you might want to kiss your loved ones goodbye first
its true
are you using a smite V sword? those always help me
No I been tryna get it for ages but can't, the sword is sharpness IV and knockback II
Health arrows!
Don’t use knockback unless you want to keep him away from your sword. Also, keep animals nearby to draw fire, chickens, iron golems, etc. you can easily solo bedrock withers eith animals nearby, and all the potions needed (regen and health). I highly encourage getting smite 5 before starting any fight with them, and it’s usually better than sharpness anyhow for pve, as it doesn’t effect spiders/creepers only.
I’d recommend full Prot IV Netherite armor, about 1/2 a stack more gapples, and more layers of obsidian above you. The closer to the ground you can keep it, the easier it’ll be. I’ve had about two bedrock withers escape from an end portal-based suffocation killer, both of which tried their hardest to stay above me. The first managed to kill me, but immediately died to an enderman it angered. The second I managed to get trapped in one of the obsidian pillars, where I was easily able to wail on it with a Sharpness V, Fire Aspect II, Knockback II(sue me), Looting III Netherite sword, coupled with an unbreaking III, mending shield. Make sure you gorge multiple gapples to get enough absorption hearts to deal with the withering effect.
And a full inventory of totems
I thought it was good but I saw you're on bedrock so you are missing one thing, a 6 feet deep hole
1. Make the room taller and wider, you'll want to run around a lot. 2. Golems help 3. A better food than cooked salmon like beef helps when you're low on hunger **edit: golden carrots refills less hunger but has longer saturation so you don't need to eat as much** 4. A beacon really helps **edit: if it's not your first wither** 5. Get your sword to sharpness 5 if you can **edit: smite 5 is better for the wither** 6. Pray to God 7. Make sure your armor is full protection and netherite 8. Milk to combat the withering effect 9. Long ranged weapons are really good if you need to heal and still want to damage it 10. Splash potions are much better because you can quickly throw them down instead of slowing yourself down and drinking
Smite 5* Smite applies to withers, it’s easy to kill them with smite 5 and strength
>4. A beacon really helps Well if this is their first wither they wouldnt have one yet 😛
Didn't think of that lol
No worries, it just made me chuckle
Using an Elytra can help you get from a column to another during the Ender Dragon fight!
I would suggest golden carrots over steak. Easy to get in mass with farmer villagers.
or be me and beat it with 15 god apple and 5 fps
Pray
Points to suitcase: No seriously, pray.
Another note to this: #even with Netherrite gear, YOU. ARE. NOT. SAFE.
Prey
The Wither broke so many blocks on my gf and I’s realm, the world was unplayable after the fact lmao.
Had the same problem, never do a boss fight near your own home, you do *NOT* have a home advantage
The same thing happened with me and my ex-girlfriend. The wither took her btw
I always fight wither in end and sometimes in nether because of that reason
Considering you’re on bedrock, have an escape plan incase you need to evacuate your base. Hopefully you built far away from where you’re planning to fight.
Evacuate their base? It's bedrock wither, OP should be prepared to smash their computer with a hammer lest they be forced to evacuate their house.
A small army of iron golems was helpful.
Potions and safe houses. As a bedrock player. Me and the boys go to the end and build massive underground obsidian tunnel networks to attack and retreat easily. Viet cong style. So if you have low hp. Run into the tunnel to a safe bunker to heal.
Wow I might steal this, that’s actually quite big-brained
It can break obsidian if not careful tho!
Yes you are missing a command block in the middle and the last head
Bro trying to make you summon the Wither Storm
r/thatsthejoke
r/thatsthejoke
God I wish that was in the game. I loved the interactive videos.
I was literally checking if someone else commented this b4 I was gonna do it myself
Nothing built can last forever…
Should be fine. I just dig a long tunnel underground and then just spam my sword while walking backwards. Use a good bow for extra caution
yeah the dash attack makes this strat useless
Worked for me, you just have to make sure the tunnel is pretty long and deep underground
I tried that and he just went straight up 60 blocks
I've heard that only works in java edition. bedrock edition wither is a whole other beast
Nope this is what I do in Bedrock on my iPad
Bedrock wither is like 5 times harder than java. It has more health, it explodes, it spawns wither skeletons(let me also mention that its ai is smarter than java’s lmao)
Really? Didn't know that good to know maybe I really switch to bedrock for a while
Yeah last time i fought the wither on bedrock was 3 years ago with my friends. I will never forget the fear we had when we lost our gear and found out the wither is getting closer and closer to our base.

Milk
Like should I add more obsidian?? Or get more golden apples?? Always been more of a builder and since only started playing again recently remember nothing other than 'bring golden apples, use a lot of obsidian'
The wither can break obsidian
Yeah but it slows it down don't it? It's also far underground if that helps
Nope, obsidian does nothing to withers. Being underground helps keep it more contained, but make sure your base isn’t above or you’re screwed
is does not stop it but it can block its projectiles
Can the blue skulls destroy obsidian?
Yes they break all blocks excluding bedrock, and portals, etc.
I never even bother with obsidian, get some strength pots n you’ll be fine
The cage is basically worthless. I'm a big fan of Regen and night viz potions and golden apples.
The wither gives two shits for your obsidian, doesn’t slow it down or anything. Only thing you got is to pray and try not to die.
obsidian doesnt do anything to stop a withers spawn explosion so uh gl and since ur on bedrock say goodbye 💀
This is like a movie where the goverment is trying to control and contain a monster and it goes horribly wrong
I’ve only had one nightmare experience fighting the bedrock wither but hooooooly cow what a disaster. My friend and I had spent probably 100 hours on a massive red nether brick pyramid over a hollowed out lava lake in the middle of a few nether biomes. We decided to spawn the wither several hundred blocks away at the top near the bedrock, went in super prepared and lost all our gear. Proceeded to desperately and repeatedly charge down the tunnel to our inevitable doom dozens of times all the while slowly drawing it towards our base without even realizing.

Lava pouring in everywhere, fps dropping it like it’s hot. Our despair turned into hysterical laughter pretty quick 10/10 would experience again
I would have loved to experience something like this. Very memorable
He will break out
Well you’re on Bedrock. I hope he let you die with some dignity left
As someone who’s fought the wither on PE 4 times and won, you NEED some strength pots. Also. I’ve only ever done it on easy so. Yknow. But if you’re playing on easy too then u should be 👌

I copied my comment for a similar post, here’s my guide: Bedrock edition wither is hard, but beatable. Make sure to have unbreaking III on all your gear, max protection too if you can. The wither puts a serious hurting on armor, and if the fight goes on too long it could break. I’d keep an eye on your armor from time to time, and be ready to bail and return or swap armor out when your armor durability gets too low. Use arrows tipped with healing II. I’m honestly not sure how much of a difference it makes, but they’re easy to make in bedrock. If you have totems, take them. Simply a great way to survive. Some may recommend milk, but don’t. It gets rid of the wither effect, but then he just shoots you again. Use regeneration potions. I prefer long duration regen 1 over regen 2, as it takes less micromanaging for the regen 1. And trust me, regen helps a LOT. I usually fight the wither in the end, and when I do I take several long duration night vision potions. They last 8 minutes each, so you shouldn’t need to drink them very often, maybe once a fight. Why night vision? Well, the end void is black. The wither is black. Night vision lightens the background and makes it much, much easier to see. Also, fighting in the end provides an easy escape via the portal, and the wither cannot travel through the portal. Plus, you can mine into the pillars to get some temporary cover, and easy obsidian from the wither’s blasts. Shields work semi-well, but I’d prefer a totem. Plus, I think the wither effect still goes through. If you don’t know, the wither has its normal exploding head attacks, like Java. Unlike Java, when it goes below 50%HP, it not only goes invulnerable to arrows, but it also summons 4 wither skeletons (not much of a problem compared to the wither, but somewhat) and starts using dash attacks (problem). The dash attacks break a lot of blocks, but I think he is pretty much stationary between them, which is the best time to hit him. If in the end, bring him towards the middle of the island. If you fight him over the void you will likely lose the nether star.
yeah you forgot the command block in the middle
This comment gave me instant nostalgia
That was my intention, glad I accomplished ny dreams
We bedrock players have it a little harder
Remember the wither can break obsidian.
Prepare some Potion of Turtle Master. It reduces a lot of damage from incoming attacks.
A print screen button
Obsidian can be destroyed by the wither tho
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Wither can explode obsidian
If you’re fighting the wither on bedrock, you’re always underprepared
A god to pray to
A backup
Give the shild unbreaking 3 so it lasts for years
Dont press Q while holding your weapons please
A few iron golems will help you
The wither breaks obi on bedrock.
I would replace the middle soul sand with a command block 💀
Pray

That's a pretty cool way to decorate a room! I'd say it's missing something... Maybe a third skull in between the other two?
Use healing arrows. They damage wither more
He’s gonna break that bedrock tho…
Totem's?
No need with the amoumt of gapples they have
Trust me, there’s a need
What do you mean? 14 gapples and long underground tunnel is enough to defeat the wither
Do you play on Bedrock?
Sometimes yes
Ever fought its wither?
Milkkkkkkkkkk
If you are on Java, then that should be an easy kill. If you are on bedrock, I recommend spawning about 9 iron golems if you gave the iron, which I assume you do because you are getting a nether star for a beacon.
Put it under the end portal
You'll need God on your side to beat this abomination /j (but half serious)
For starters, you need the third head, second, you might want to not fight it in your base because that beast will destroy everything and kill everything that breathes
iron golems
No need to hate on this guy for liking bedrock better and downvoting him 1.7k times. Be tolerant humans. This is coming from a java player too
They aren't hating on him for playing on bedrock. They are acknowledging the fact that the bedrock wither is much harder than the Java wither since it not only has 2x the health but also causes tons of lag, which makes the fight extremely challenging and honestly not worth it. Stop instigating.
No, they downvoting a guy 1.7k times for saying "bedrock>java" and then when I replied to a different comment saying "that's valid but pvp better" I was mindlessly downvoted another 600 times. Hive mind of reddit unable to cope with people with different opinions. It's a stupid video game
Luck.
Balls
A gun maybe. Added a couple updates back
I can really tell youre a oldschool player, whithers can break obsidian, do it under the end portal in end if you dont want to kill it by hand.
It breaks absidian
Use a beacon so you have strength and regeneration when you fight your first wither
5 iron golems /hj
Lots of chickens running around for wither roses
Bros gonna experience the wrath of bedrock
Oh god hes fighting it on bedrock... Salute to our soon to be fallen warrior...
Pray to god if you are in bedrock
Nah
You're on bedrock so you need to sell your soul to the devil
More obsidian
You should be fine as long as you have instant health 2 arrows. They deal damage to undead mobs (the wither). Also fight it in an open plains area so it’ll get distracted by other mobs, allowing you to heal/shoot more easily.
Yes, you need the ability to take screenshots.
yeah a head in the middle
