Wither's Wrath
by ImHer0
Wither's Wrath changes the Wither boss fight with new attack patterns, a higher health pool and tougher Wither Skeletons, and it can be tuned with toggles.
What it does
The pack reworks the Wither fight so it is harder than the vanilla version. The boss has 600 HP, matching the Bedrock Edition Wither, with slightly higher armour, and it introduces new attack patterns. Wither Skeletons appear now and then during the fight, and their skull projectiles hit harder. A shield is advised for blocking, and the boss's special attack only begins once it has 250 HP left, then grows stronger again at 100 HP.
The author made the pack first for friends, to offer a fight with more challenge, and notes that it was never meant to be perfect. Because players react to changes differently, the mod includes toggles that reduce the chaos and give more control, plus a gentler variant of the Wither. The pack targets Minecraft 1.21 and up. Server owners need it installed, since the environment is server required and client optional; players may add it as well. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license and is not open source. Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt files exist, along with a data pack option.

What the author says
This is my take on the Wither, designed to make it more of a challenge by introducing brand-new attack patterns and increasing its health to 600 HP, matching the Bedrock Edition Wither. Since not everyone enjoys all the changes, I've included toggles to reduce chaos for more flexibility. However, there will be no…
