Wither Fortress│凋零堡壘
by Special_TT
Wither Fortress adds a Nether structure whose bedrock castle is guarded by a Wither that roams its grounds and cannot be summoned through multi-block structures.
What it does
The Wither Fortress generates in the Nether as a bedrock complex built around a main castle. Roads run out from the castle in straight, curved and forked forms, and each road that terminates ends at a treasure chest tower. Along some bedrock walls a streetlight occurs in about 5% of cases, crowned with a bedrock lamp. Inside the castle area, a Wither roams while idle, and four gates lead outwards from the grounds. A Wither that leaves the fortress is teleported back to the main castle when it goes idle.
The fortress includes summoning towers, which are specialized chest towers. Each Wither Fortress generates three of them. In place of the original chest slots, these towers carry two-block-high bedrock pillars crowned by a skull frame, and setting a Wither Skull into that frame activates the tower.
The mod needs Bedrock Crafter, which must be installed on the server. Wither Fortress is open source under the MIT License and runs on the server while players need nothing extra. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the 1.21.7 – 1.21.11 range is covered by five release versions, with 1.1.0 as the latest file. It is also available as a data pack.
