Wither: Reincarnated - The Wither Reborn

The Problem with the Standard Wither

The original Wither boss in Minecraft leaves much to be desired - it has only one attack, predictable behavior, and fighting it doesn't require much skill.

What the Modification Offers

This mod completely transforms the Wither fight, adding new abilities, additional phases, and making the battle truly exciting and challenging.

Main Changes

The Wither has received a terrifying new model and sound effects. When the boss appears, the world plunges into eternal night until it is destroyed.

In the first phase, the Wither focuses on destroying the surrounding world rather than directly attacking players. It has gained a powerful laser attack similar to a beacon that instantly destroys players without cover.

A new charge attack can be blocked with a shield, which stuns the Wither. The boss can also fly up and unleash a barrage of skulls onto the ground.

Dangerous Wither skulls can now be deflected like Ghast fireballs, dealing additional damage. Skull explosions have become more massive and create fire visible from a distance.

Improved Behavior

In the final phase, the Wither attacks with incredible aggression. Instead of hovering over the target, it actively moves around it. Most mobs now run away from the Wither when it appears.

The Wither has gained the ability to subjugate nearby undead. Subjugated mobs follow the boss and protect it from attacks.

Adding Possession Effects for Custom Mobs

For modified undead, you can add possessed eye layers:

⦁ Create a resource pack that changes the mob's texture to a version with only eyes (eyes must be completely white) ⦁ Add _possessed_witherreincarnated to the end of the texture file name (before .png) ⦁ Activate the resource pack - done!
