More Withers
by Ender2
Players who want more variety in wither fights can install More Withers, which adds Forge withers with distinct abilities and two new items.
What it does
Many different types of wither are added, each with its own abilities. Fire Wither's skulls set the ground on fire, and Ice Wither's wither skulls create ice blocks. Some of the withers are optional bosses that sit outside the main storyline, and one is a super boss.
The mod also adds two items, a Titan Sword and an Element Rod. The Titan Sword is a heavy-hitting weapon, and both its clicks trigger attacks that hit everything in an area. The Element Rod shares that attack pattern and can drop the Avatar Wither. Holding right-click on a wither activates Raid Mode.
More Withers is built for Forge and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files exist only for 1.12.2, the latest being 1.4, published on 2026-07-05. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Elemental wither types
Each wither type has its own attack, such as fire skulls that set the ground ablaze or ice skulls that leave ice blocks.
Optional super boss
A super boss sits outside the main storyline, so players can skip it or seek it out.
Titan Sword
A heavy-hitting weapon whose left-click and right-click both trigger attacks that hit everything in an area.
Element Rod and Raid Mode
The Element Rod shares the area attacks and can drop the Avatar Wither, while holding right-click on a wither starts Raid Mode.

Use cases
Adding variety to wither fights
Players who have fought the vanilla wither many times can meet types with different attacks on a Forge 1.12.2 world.
Who it’s for: Players on Forge 1.12.2 who want more wither types and boss encounters. Server owners who run the mod need it installed on the server, and each player who joins needs it too.
How it compares
Better Wither is server-side only, runs on Forge for 1.20.1, and is not open source. BetterBosses is open source under the MIT License, runs on Forge for 1.12.2, and needs the client and server to both have it, as More Withers does. Wither Config is also open source under the MIT License and for 1.12.2, but it runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it.
