Strongest Wither
by SCPgamerscp
Strongest Wither reworks the Wither boss into a far harder fight, with a larger health pool, extra protection, and a set of bullet-hell attack patterns.
What it does
The mod enlarges the Wither's core stats: maximum health is raised to 1000.0 against the vanilla 300.0, and the boss gains armor where vanilla has none. Health regeneration can be set in the EnhancedWitherConfig file, and the default setting restores HP automatically each second. These values are read from config, so a server owner can change them without a new build.
On each cycle the Wither picks one of seven attacks at random, with a short cooldown between them. Machine Gun fires skulls at high speed toward the target, Spread Shot scatters them across a 45-degree cone, and Omni Directional fires a Fibonacci sphere of skulls in every direction. Explosive Skull launches a single charged skull whose blast applies Wither III to entities within its radius, and Lightning is among the remaining patterns. A five percent chance on skull attacks fires a Blue Wither Skull that destroys blast-resistant blocks.
The mod is server-side only: players join without installing it, and the server alone runs the changes. Files are published for Forge only, for six game versions 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest build. Source code and an issue tracker are linked publicly, and the code is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Raised health and armor
Maximum health and armor are increased well above vanilla, so each fight lasts much longer.
Bullet-hell attack patterns
Machine Gun, Spread Shot and Omni Directional fire continuous streams of skulls for ten seconds at a time.
Enhanced drops
Defeating the boss yields 320 diamond blocks and six additional Nether Stars as rewards.
Lag mitigation
Wither Skulls more than 128 blocks from a player are removed after one second to limit performance drops.
Debuff explosions
The Explosive Skull causes a power 10 blast that applies Wither III to entities within a 10-block radius.
