Fighting the Wither, Season 3

The slaying of the Wither refers to a Mindcrack Server event where members come together to slay a Wither, Minecraft's second boss mob. Slaying the first Wither of the map has become a regular group event, with the subsequent beacon often being used to benefit the community. Members can otherwise fight a Wither at any time to earn their own personal beacon.

Season 3[edit]

Having recently updated the server to use the 1.4 snapshots, the first Season 3 withers were fought on 28 September 2012. Nebris,[1] VintageBeef,[2] and Guude[3] had grinded in the Nether in order to obtain Wither Skulls, which are necessary to construct the Wither.

Due to the destructiveness of the Wither, the fight happened on a remote island (location: -11320, -6160). A platform was constructed high above the island so that the members can reset their spawn and have their spawn protected from the Wither. Nebris was the first to construct the Wither. After the first phase of the fight, Guude and VintageBeef constructed the second and third Withers at the same time. After the fight, the entire group engaged in free-for-all to determine who would obtain the last Nether Star.

Season 4[edit]

The first Season 4 Wither was fought on 13 July 2013 and was originally intended to end UHC mode. The group visited Pakratt's "Wither Mart" where Wither clothing and heads were displayed (shown in some videos), before fighting the Wither in a desert (location: -2280, -360). After the fight, the group established the beacon in front of Town Hall. The fight was recorded by easycgi and shown in the background of episode 45 of the Mindcrack Podcast.[5]
