Craftable wither
by ZYNX_TWN
Craftable Wither lets players build a Wither Skeleton Skull or a Wither Spawn Egg from ordinary materials, without relying on drops from the mob.
What it does
Two primary recipes are added. A Wither Skeleton Skull is crafted from one stone-type skull placed in the center of a 3x3 grid, surrounded by Bones; the stone type can be blackstone or a standard material. A Wither Spawn Egg is crafted from three Wither Skeleton Skulls in the top row, three Soul Sand in the middle row and one Soul Sand in the bottom center slot. The Wither Spawn Egg summons the Wither boss without any traditional block structure being built.
The mod provides an alternative progression path: players collect resources and craft the skulls and egg instead of waiting for mob-drop chances. Both recipes use vanilla materials. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across 15 release versions, 1.18.2 – 1.21.11, under the MIT License, which is not open source.
Key features
Craftable Wither Skeleton Skull
A Wither Skeleton Skull is made from one stone-type skull and Bones, so players produce skulls from materials.
Craftable Wither Spawn Egg
Three Wither Skeleton Skulls and four Soul Sand form a spawn egg that summons the Wither boss.
Skull conversion recipe
A recipe turns one Wither Skeleton Skull into two skulls, condensing the materials needed for the boss.
No structure required
The egg removes the need to build the traditional block structure before summoning the Wither.
