I am having flashbacks when pix fought the wither on bedrock 2 years ago...a few pix's dialogues from that fight were circulating in my Mind..."it's a familiar boss but it's doing unfamiliar things" "now we are in trouble now we are in real trouble" "bedrock players,i have a new sense of respect for you...that was the toughest fight i have ever had in my entire video gaming life at this point"...that particular video was so funny that I watched it multiple times...i highly recommend people to watch that video after this one

I really respect you for taking on the Wither in Bedrock in your achievement series. A lot of Java players have no idea the nightmare that is the Bedrock wither.
There's one thing that the Java Wither doesn't get enough credit for. That regeneration, without powerful enchantments on your bow, it's bound to be a harder challenge.
@@grimmsoul3096 I don't mean that. In bedrock edition the wither will be 2x easier in 1.19 because of changes to armor which will actually protect you much better even protection 4 will do a better job
Hey, pix, thanks for uploading 5 times a week, my school is currently closed for the spring break and your videos are curing my boredom because all my friends are on vacation. Thanks pix
Jazer its even worse for me.... I live in Bhutan and it's been lock down for like four months, even though the lock down has opened ,the schools haven't so he is helping me a lot
Hi Pix, I’m currently in the hospital (it’s my second week and I’ll have to stay at least four weeks in total) and your survival series and the stream really brighten my mood :) Life’s been pretty awful recently, but I can always look forward to your videos and streams! Much love from a random 20years old viewer from Germany ^^
ive been playing minecraft for 10+ years so im pretty educated in it but its so nice to just watch your videos. i still learn a lot and you're very calm and help my anxiety to watch :)
For the past couple of months, I've started my mornings by making a cup of tea and sitting down to watch the latest episode of survival guide. I've been fighting my way through my last year of college and your videos make mornings so much easier. Thanks Pix!
My friend was so down bad for the nether star and he asked if i could spawn one from creative and i said no so he killed the wither in survival in the end by just taking unenchanted diamond zwords an elytra and rockets, before the end portal we have an ender chest so once he got to the portal he just put any items he didnt want to loose inside. Went in did damage, died, repeat. All on his own, i was surprised tbh. Ive never killed the wither java or bedrock
I’ve always wondered where the piglins get water bottles. Maybe they condense it out of the air in soul sand valleys-it is cold there, the lava falls have frozen into basalt!
Ooh, interesting theory! I wonder if water could also be pressed/ground out of nether wart and warped wart? It would be a fair bit of a process, but it might be just enough.
@@LeopardMask12 wart, maybe, or soul sand/soil Got a mental image now of crushing soul soil into soil sand and salt water, and then taking it back into a hot biome to evaporate and distill it into fresh water in brewing stands or something
@@grimmsoul3096 Not much difference for me between tunnel fight or end trap fight, and there's always a strip mine available close by. And I usually try to fill the wither spawn area with chickens, for a small wither roses harvest (1-2 stacks), so digging around and letting wither explode freely is handy.
So Bedrock: Has twice the HP, has a dash attack that destroys everything, explodes at the start of the fight AND when you kill it, spawns wither skeletons, health regen is a lot weaker on Bedrock, the wither causes the Wither 2 effect rather than the wither 1 effect that Java has so it lasts a lot longer, and finally......it's attacks currently ignore protection enchants so basically its like fighting it unenchanted. (Enchant issues is going to be fixed in upcoming 1.19.)
I feel like the Java Wither doesn't get enough credit for it's regeneration. I mean, it becomes a harder challenge to fight it if you don't have enchantments
Another great video. Incredible that you are doing videos nearly every day. I appreciate how you mention bedrock and potential differences. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Thanks for mentioning the difference between Java and Bedrock. I play on PE which is Bedrock from my understanding. Many YT'rs would mention it so again thanks.
For anyone who wants an even easier fight , go to the end main island, dig a 3 block tall area under the portal and right in the middle of the portal (coords x,z : 0 0) put an obsidian block on the ground , it should have a 2 block tall area above between the obsidan and the bedrock of the portal . Put the soul sand on obsidian and make the T shape , obsidian having the | part (tail) , and not the top part of the T (which are the arms) then place the heads .You should do this in a test world before you do it in survival but if you do it right , the wither should spawn onto the obsidian and into the bedrock and cannot leave the area whatsoever. Not an intended way of defeating it but much easier if done right and you barely take any explosion damage but if you worry about that you can always go away
Whenever I spawnproof an entire nether fortress I like to go Torch-Button-Empty block, in such a way that for every 3x3 area there's at least one torch and one button (it's a little bit more specitic than that) cus that way you get light level 12+ to prevent all mob spawns but magma cubes, and a button in every 3x3 prevents those. Dunno if it's faster, but certainly tricks my brain into thinking it is.
Hey Pix. Just recently Grian and Scar fought the Wither on HC with a bunch of Iron Golems between them and it. It went really smoothly and Scar didn`t die so it is probably a good strategy.
I don't know if it's just my luck, but I think the chance of getting a wither skeleton skull increases when I crit them. Also, with a few iron golems the boss fight isn't even fair, so easy. Great video as usual!
One other good place to fight the Wither is just below the Nether Ceiling if you can find a large enough 3x3x3 cavity. It is possible the Wither could get stuck in the ceiling, but it is also a good idea to NOT use Knockback or Punch weapons in the fight either. If the Wither is in the 3x3x3 cavity unobstructed, you can fight it very effectively since the Wither tends to hover up and over targets. There is another place that's even better, but it's kinda of cheesy. 😂
@@glauberglousger6643 its harder on Bedrock, but the 3x3x3 cavity is generally your best option. The good thing is, the Wither can NOT break Bedrock with the spindash and any blocks broken have to be in the path of the Wither, not below it. The blue skulls can still break Obsidian and Crying Obsidian, but if you're positioned just right, the fight isn't as bad. It's definitely more tedious, but again, the Wither likes to hover over by its mechanics, so keeping it up in the cavity isn't that impossible.
@@glauberglousger6643 milk man. When I played Bedrock, I kept at least 6 buckets on me and dragged a cow into the nether just in case. Luckily I was able to kill it, but it was a complete pain. Literally made a huge floor pad of obsidian 5 layers thick, and then chipped away at it through a door sized gap in the bedrock. The Wither skeletons it spawned for the second half got stuck in with it luckily. It did get through a few layers of Obsidian blocks but it couldn't float down because the 3x3x3 was over a lava lake. It definitely was NOT easy, but it was doable. The problem is actually finding a 3x3x3 in the nether ceiling that is far enough away that nothing like piglins or endermen spawn within 64 blocks or it COULD try to target them and break out.
For bedrock player that are looking to fight the wither, you can find a tutorial on how to trap it. It’s very easy and you don’t need to do anything, it will just suffocate to death. ( but the end return portal is needed)
@@ryanmoyo5854 honestly you’re kind of right, fighting your first wither the old way feels really like an achievement, but to get large quantities of beacons, I would still prefer cheesing the wither.
for the bedrock wither, (well its not actually a direct difference to the wither) i have one other thing to say, its is that protection enchant in bedrock were actually bugged, and only reducing normal dmg. In beta versions and in future versions, it will be fixed and can now reduce potion dmg as well.
I just cured a a random zombie villager, turned him into a Fletcher and he's selling arrows of healing. I'm running a mending bow for the first time ever, and figured they'd at least be good for dealing with zombies and skeletons, but with power 5 they don't seem detrimental to fighting creepers and spiders at all, I'm still able to 1 or two shot either mob. Might be something to cover, and they'll be useable in your next wither fight.
A little tip that I found out recently about the amethyst blocks. The light purple block is great for making markers. I’ve got several stacks that I had no use for & I can’t use to craft anything. But it’s great for a marker block in new areas. no matter what dimension you’re in. (I figured this out in the nether & after noticing how easy it was to spot open geodes in caves.
yes!! been waiting for this video. i tried explaining how to fight a wither using this method to some friends but i think showing them this video will be better.
Great video. Having only last week watched your "how to defeat the wither" on the previous let's play series, i was very impressed at how you covered the same topic but still kept the video unique amd interesting. 👍🏻
Hi Pix, I believe slabs are more efficient than buttons, since each button costs 1 wood plank, but you can get 2 slabs per wood plank. Buttons are non-flammable, though, so you may have made the right choice in this scenario.
another advantage buttons have is that you can place them down much faster - with slabs there's a constant risk of accidentally placing a slab on top of another slab, making the height of the top surface of the block (for example) 70 rather than 70.5, the former being a spawnable surface and the latter non-spawnable. If you're not willing/able to dedicate hours to spawnproofing, with buttons you can basically walk non-stop through the fortress looking downwards and placing buttons, whereas with slabs you have to move a few blocks, place a few blocks and repeat, and every misplaced slab means you have to switch to an axe to break the slab. Personally when I spawnproofed a SSV fortress on my friend's server I wanted it to look as pretty as possible, so I used nether brick slabs on the fortress, and where there was non-SSV biomes in a 128 block radius, I used crimson wood slabs on netherrack/crimson nylium, blackstone slabs on blackstone and cobblestone slabs on basalt (this was pre-1.17, so deepslate wasn't a thing) and while it took many many hours, I think it looks very poggers as a result :D
Watching people fight the Java Wither made me realize how easy it was, Especially when you don’t have to deal with Wither for 40 seconds every time you get hit Oh, and the double health and charging attacks,
I normally play on java, but was bored and decided to fight it on education edition (my school district uses it) and I didnt know it was so hard on bedrock
@@glauberglousger6643 the main problem is never the double health or the dash attack (if you fight it in the ocean with frost walker). It's that wither 2 effect, because the Protection enchantment in Bedrock Edition currently doesn't protect you from harmful effects. Though, in the newest Beta / Preview changelogs, it's revealed that the Protection enchantment will be buffed so it would protect you from harmful effects. Basically, this would noticably nerf the Wither in Bedrock Edition. Though, the Wither is already quite weak, if you know how to get it into a corner and then spam click
Man you make that look easy!!! thanks Pix gr8 vid as always, I have been building my survival world along side your vid's & streams and is still not close to where you are! please keep up the gr8 work!
To clarify the bedrock fight, it because Protection 4 doesn't block wither effects right now, thankfully mojang is fixing that so in God tier armor, you are wearing nothing on hard more and wither 2 is death. Nothing more unless you quickly save yourself.
@@eonrier9469 at the home portal IT CAN NOT MOVE so just swipe it with a smoit V sword (also underground some chaotic skulls could give the wither the high ground then it will just yeet and delete the golems)
I relate to pix placing the buttons in the same direction. Aesthetics always make it a little difficult for me but i prefer my world pretty over functional 😂
You can cheese the Wither on bedrock by spawning it in the end under the bedrock portal that takes you back to the Overworld lol. It ends up suffocating itself because it always tries to push up.
@@ktkupkake you need to dig around some to find a T formation of bedrock orientated in the right direction. You can youtube how to do it, it's quite easy.
Having a netherite smite V sword is pretty handy for farming wither skeletons and killing wither. It can one-hit-kill wither skeletons and kill wither in like 8 hits (if paired with strength 2 potion)
The biggest thing about the Wither effect on Bedrock was left unsaid. The damage due to Wither is reduced by the Protection enchantment in Java, but not on Bedrock. This means that the Wither effect is up to 64% less potent on Java Edition, or that the Wither effect is 278% more potent on Bedrock. Basically, take the fact that Pixl lost half his health bar to Wither in his test world demonstration fight, and imagine that there is no way to reduce that when you fight it for real. That is the Bedrock Edition experience.
this one is about to get change in the future update btw recently in the bedrock beta, a fix was added to the damage reduction on armor and protection enchantment so that the wither effect damage and other misc. type of damage finally works properly
I usually mobproof the Nether with stone slabs, but if you don't mind using wood then you could've used wooden planks which you get double in comparison to buttons. Sure they are flammable, but as you said you can use nether wooden planks and won't have to worry about that.
Nether wood is also way more time-consuming to mine in large quantities. Whole reason I went with jungle wood is you can get four stacks in minutes! I find buttons much easier to place than slabs, you can place them on the block you're standing on because they don't have collision
In terms of wood used, yes. The advantage of buttons is that you can't accidentally place a second button on top of a placed button, while that's pretty easy to do with slabs. So it's a trade-off of less materials vs being easier to place.
small improvement note: no need to dig 3 blocks high room to spawn a wither, you can place a T-shape of soulsands on the ground and then attrach heads - he will spawn anyway :)
Strictly apeaking, aren't half slabs better since one block divides into two slabs? So, strictly speaking, the best material ration would still be slabs with buttons coming in second place, I guess. Not sure if (wood) slabs can be set on fire, though. That might be an advantage for buttons. 😅
Was looking for this comment, that was what i thought too! You could even convert the nether bricks into slabs if you want to preserve the aesthetics of the fortress
Wood slabs can definitely be set on fire, and also have the disadvantage of creating full blocks if you place two of them in one place - so if you're spamming slabs everywhere, you often end up placing double-slabs which you have to break and replace, otherwise they'll be spawnable. Buttons don't have that issue.
@@Pixlriffs Yeah, I actually did not think about this issue. However, I was mainly commenting on the ratio of the blocks. Nonetheless, buttons are still a valid choice!
@@mabatch3769 on easy mode you can trap it in an obsidian cage and use it as a blast farm. For hardmode you can also use the nether roof, just find a T shape pattern of bedrock.
I’ve recently beat the either in bedrock edition personally the fight wasn’t that hard but the hard part was dealing with the terrible lag that the fallen blocks create
Last I'd heard, poison only fails to kill you if you're playing on easy, but it will kill you on harder difficulties, unless that was changed some time ago.
Nope, poison has always left you on half a heart, on any difficulty, throughout all historical versions of the game. It puts you in a position to die easily - players typically get poisoned by cave spiders or witches, which have other ways to attack you - but the poison effect never kills you. You're probably thinking of starvation, which leaves the player on half a heart in Normal difficulty and is fatal on Hard difficulty.
Why is the bedrock wither harder? Small hitbox (hard to hit) It explodes furiously while flying Sends projectiles VERY frequently It has DOUBLE the health from java (300 HP), so 600 HP Midway through the fight, it brings out minions, that are the 5 wither skeletons When killed (You killed it ? Huh?), it ends with an aggressive blast
@@Pixlriffs on Bedrock at least they are also immune to their own damage. And old farm use to use 2 opposing withers and sometimes their skulls would hit each other.
For those who don't know, Pix explained how to fight the wither in a "cheeky" way (under the fountain in the end), which is arguable the easiest way, in his Minecraft Survival Guide Season One.
It is incredibly easy for us Bedrock players. Just remember to not have knockback on your sword. If you do, it can knock the wither out of the trap it is stuck in. Trust me, I know from personal experience. My end island is a mess.
None of these wither tutorials tell you how to deal with a wither that another player has spawned at your base while you were gone. I usually just end up leading them away from my base and leaving them out in the wilderness for someone else to deal with.
Pix, i have a question: Can you spawn the Wither in the Nether? If so, what if you spawn a wither at Ancient Debris mining level and make him work for us?
@@glauberglousger6643 What I did was I fought it underground in the middle of nowhere, spawned a buncha golems, let them do the work as baits as you stay in the backline shooting it. It still gets tricky once it's in it's second phase tho.
Aren't slabs the most material efficient? Ex: You had 3 stx of logs, which would translate into 12 stx of planks. So you could either do 12 stx of buttons, or 24 stx of slabs.
Wait wouldn't slabs be the most efficient way of spawn proofing since you get 2x per plank as opposed to 1x per plank with buttons? Or did spawning in the nether change and I missed something
It's probably only 1.5x the amount per plank because the blazes would've burned the other half. Buttons are fireproof, don't create full blocks if you place them too quickly, and you can place them on the block you're standing on because they don't collide with the player hitbox. They're WAY more convenient to use, and when you're making stuff out of wood - which is super easy to farm - material efficiency doesn't really matter at all
Jungle logs are.... easy to farm...? What? xD Those tress are like the biggest possible pain in the butt overworld trees to farm imo! You can't make an automatic farm for them, they've got vines everywhere, they have these random bits of logs sticking out in places that can be too far to reach, and their sapling drop rate is lower so it's easier to run out if you're no in a jungle biome. If you're actively in a jungle biome, then you have the added hassle of navigating the place, it's the worst overworld biome to try to walk around in. The only trees I would consider equally troublesome to deal with are the nether fungi, since their "leaves" don't decay and can delete stems. Acacia is up there as well, because it has the reach problem and grows in wild shapes and directions. Don't get me wrong though haha, I can't possibly agree with jungle being easy to farm but I'm still enjoying the episode.
None of this assumes an automatic approach. Jungle, spruce, and dark oak are the easiest trees to farm manually because of the sheer amount of wood you get with a 2x2 of saplings. The 1-sapling trees are always more of a pain to harvest with an axe: Acacia grows at awkward angles, oak has the tall variants which give you about 7 extra logs and the rest is leaves. Birch is okay but still way slower than a jungle tree. Use a fortune hoe on the leaves if you're running low on saplings, but the 2x2 jungle trees reliably drop enough saplings for you to replant them. Vines really aren't an issue, and it's simple enough to walk out on the leaves and take down any of the longer branches. If you're farming jungle trees automatically, just grow a 1-sapling tree like you do with oak trees, and fortune some leaves if you run out of saplings 🤷♂️
@@ShavayD it's episode called ''controls, keyboard shortcuts and F3 Minecraft Survival Guide (tutorial) 1.18 caves and cliffs update''. It's second video on his Survival Guide 2 playlist on his channel
It's absolutely killing me, why didnt you just break the blaze spawners? xD I understand you might want to use them, but since you turned the whole area into a place to farm Wither Skulls, the Blazzes take up mob cap too dont they? Wouldnt it be more efficient to get rid of the blaze spawners instead of using potions? No shade, just absolutely curious because all those blazes gave me anxiety xD
One day, I'll do the real fight. I learned that 7 iron golems kill the wither in a matter of seconds in the deepslate tunnel, and I have a beast of an iron farm, so now I have 7 beacons. Lol
It’s worth noting, also, the wither always attempts to stay over the player even in flight….the higher you fly, the higher the wither goes, and it takes a while to come back down. I know of at least two players with withers loose in the stratosphere of their worlds if the chunks are unloaded, unless they despawned. How long does it take to despawn? Do they despawn in unloaded chunks?
The wither, as a boss mob, doesn't despawn. But when the chunks aren't loaded, the wither is basically frozen in place. It'll only descend (slowly) while it's loaded. So as long as you avoid that part of the world, it'll stay up in the sky.
Withers don’t despawn. Like, at all. If you go back to those chunks, the wither will still be there, at the position it had when the chunk was unloaded.
Right click when holding the item, if that item's required armour slot is free. [ But if you're already wearing, say a chest plate, and you right click holding a chest plate, it won't do anything - i.e. it won't swap the held item for the one you're wearing ]
on bedrock what is the chance of getting a wither skeleton skull i have 6-9 on my survival world from just passing though the fortress for blaze rods!? i've even seen wither skeletons picking up their own skulls a stupid number of times (legit bedrock has buffed chance for skull and buffed WITHER) (also what about jungle slabs? as its a 1;2 ratio, or can they be set of fire?)
Cheaper yes, but way more annoying to place. You can't accidentally double up buttons, creating a spawnable block again. Also, as Pix added as overlay, even wooden buttons are actually non-flammable. Plus you can craft them without using a crafting table or stone cutter.
I don't really get why you would use buttons for spawn proofing. You get 1 button per plank/stone, but you would get 2 slabs per plank/stone. Is there another reason why buttons are better?
Buttons are fireproof and easier to place. You end up placing a lot of double slabs by accident when you’re mindlessly placing them for hours on end. Doesn’t happen with buttons. And honestly, material cost isn’t really a problem when you can farm wood this easily.
Buttons are fireproof, and it's much easier to spam them with right-click. Spawn-proofing this whole fortress took about 4 hours. With slabs you end up making double slabs a lot. It saves you time, and the material cost is basically meaningless when wood is easy to farm even manually
Buttons aren't flammable, can be crafted in a 2x2 so you don't need to keep using a crafting table, and they're easier to place. You can spam buttons by just holding right-click, whereas doing that with slabs means you sometimes create a full block - a mistake which you have to correct, otherwise it'll have a chance to spawn mobs. Honestly the efficiency of materials doesn't matter much when you're using wood, it's so easy to farm
Feel free to do this with slabs if you want! I found buttons easier, and you really don't need to worry about material cost when the materials are farmed this easily
*Important!* If you are playing bedrock edition, DON'T FIGHT IT UNDERGROUND, as it destroys so many blocks that the item entities will lag your computer into the ground. I've heard it's best over an ocean with an elytra, where it can destroy as little terrain as possible.
That's true, unless you fight it in a BIG cave, there, the Wither would basically won't be able to destroy blocks with it's skulls (unless using the blue skulls).

Our blazes will blot out the sun! This felt like watching 300 on Minecraft, amazing job
Thanks for mentioning the difference between Java and Bedrock. I play on PE which is Bedrock from my understanding. Many YT'rs would mention it so again thanks.
For anyone who wants an even easier fight , go to the end main island, dig a 3 block tall area under the portal and right in the middle of the portal (coords x,z : 0 0) put an obsidian block on the ground , it should have a 2 block tall area above between the obsidan and the bedrock of the portal . Put the soul sand on obsidian and make the T shape , obsidian having the | part (tail) , and not the top part of the T (which are the arms) then place the heads .You should do this in a test world before you do it in survival but if you do it right , the wither should spawn onto the obsidian and into the bedrock and cannot leave the area whatsoever. Not an intended way of defeating it but much easier if done right and you barely take any explosion damage but if you worry about that you can always go away
That's cheating ngl
@@mineralnoodles no it’s just easyer
And good idea
@@mineralnoodles well that's how you see it, i see it as just taking advantage of the stupid hitbox
Whenever I spawnproof an entire nether fortress I like to go Torch-Button-Empty block, in such a way that for every 3x3 area there's at least one torch and one button (it's a little bit more specitic than that) cus that way you get light level 12+ to prevent all mob spawns but magma cubes, and a button in every 3x3 prevents those. Dunno if it's faster, but certainly tricks my brain into thinking it is.
Hey Pix. Just recently Grian and Scar fought the Wither on HC with a bunch of Iron Golems between them and it. It went really smoothly and Scar didn`t die so it is probably a good strategy.
Youve revitalized my love of minecraft, i havent cared this much since minecraft beta
I don't know if it's just my luck, but I think the chance of getting a wither skeleton skull increases when I crit them.
Also, with a few iron golems the boss fight isn't even fair, so easy.
Great video as usual!
Yes! Finally! I was waiting for this video for so long!
I just did my first Wither fight since 1.18. Went fine. I was quite worried about a massive cave allowing it to escape, but that did not happen.
One other good place to fight the Wither is just below the Nether Ceiling if you can find a large enough 3x3x3 cavity. It is possible the Wither could get stuck in the ceiling, but it is also a good idea to NOT use Knockback or Punch weapons in the fight either. If the Wither is in the 3x3x3 cavity unobstructed, you can fight it very effectively since the Wither tends to hover up and over targets.
There is another place that's even better, but it's kinda of cheesy. 😂
Don’t try it with the Bedrock Wither,
It won’t work (unless you never get hit, 40 seconds of Wither is fatal
@@glauberglousger6643 its harder on Bedrock, but the 3x3x3 cavity is generally your best option. The good thing is, the Wither can NOT break Bedrock with the spindash and any blocks broken have to be in the path of the Wither, not below it. The blue skulls can still break Obsidian and Crying Obsidian, but if you're positioned just right, the fight isn't as bad. It's definitely more tedious, but again, the Wither likes to hover over by its mechanics, so keeping it up in the cavity isn't that impossible.
@@ReaperX7 the main problem is the Wither effect lasting for so long,
@@glauberglousger6643 milk man. When I played Bedrock, I kept at least 6 buckets on me and dragged a cow into the nether just in case. Luckily I was able to kill it, but it was a complete pain. Literally made a huge floor pad of obsidian 5 layers thick, and then chipped away at it through a door sized gap in the bedrock. The Wither skeletons it spawned for the second half got stuck in with it luckily. It did get through a few layers of Obsidian blocks but it couldn't float down because the 3x3x3 was over a lava lake.
It definitely was NOT easy, but it was doable. The problem is actually finding a 3x3x3 in the nether ceiling that is far enough away that nothing like piglins or endermen spawn within 64 blocks or it COULD try to target them and break out.
Seriously though, it’s a pain to beat,
it’s a fast way to mine obsidian though,
For bedrock player that are looking to fight the wither, you can find a tutorial on how to trap it. It’s very easy and you don’t need to do anything, it will just suffocate to death. ( but the end return portal is needed)
You can cheese it but it doesn't feel like you earned
Which is why I like to fight it the way it was intended
@@ryanmoyo5854 honestly you’re kind of right, fighting your first wither the old way feels really like an achievement, but to get large quantities of beacons, I would still prefer cheesing the wither.
I'm getting ready to fight the wither in my world, and I will be using the underground method from now on. Great video!
for the bedrock wither, (well its not actually a direct difference to the wither) i have one other thing to say, its is that protection enchant in bedrock were actually bugged, and only reducing normal dmg. In beta versions and in future versions, it will be fixed and can now reduce potion dmg as well.
This will help a lot for Bedrock fights.
I just cured a a random zombie villager, turned him into a Fletcher and he's selling arrows of healing. I'm running a mending bow for the first time ever, and figured they'd at least be good for dealing with zombies and skeletons, but with power 5 they don't seem detrimental to fighting creepers and spiders at all, I'm still able to 1 or two shot either mob. Might be something to cover, and they'll be useable in your next wither fight.
I used Health II arrows, three golems and didn't take any damage. I even got a wither rose.
A little tip that I found out recently about the amethyst blocks. The light purple block is great for making markers. I’ve got several stacks that I had no use for & I can’t use to craft anything. But it’s great for a marker block in new areas. no matter what dimension you’re in. (I figured this out in the nether & after noticing how easy it was to spot open geodes in caves.
yes!! been waiting for this video. i tried explaining how to fight a wither using this method to some friends but i think showing them this video will be better.
Great video. Having only last week watched your "how to defeat the wither" on the previous let's play series, i was very impressed at how you covered the same topic but still kept the video unique amd interesting. 👍🏻
15:52 That was an Iskall---Man moment, with a withery twist!
Hi Pix, I believe slabs are more efficient than buttons, since each button costs 1 wood plank, but you can get 2 slabs per wood plank. Buttons are non-flammable, though, so you may have made the right choice in this scenario.
But as with buttons, the non full side of the slabs do not catch fire, and here also the only way slabs could burn was by fire spread.
another advantage buttons have is that you can place them down much faster - with slabs there's a constant risk of accidentally placing a slab on top of another slab, making the height of the top surface of the block (for example) 70 rather than 70.5, the former being a spawnable surface and the latter non-spawnable. If you're not willing/able to dedicate hours to spawnproofing, with buttons you can basically walk non-stop through the fortress looking downwards and placing buttons, whereas with slabs you have to move a few blocks, place a few blocks and repeat, and every misplaced slab means you have to switch to an axe to break the slab.
Personally when I spawnproofed a SSV fortress on my friend's server I wanted it to look as pretty as possible, so I used nether brick slabs on the fortress, and where there was non-SSV biomes in a 128 block radius, I used crimson wood slabs on netherrack/crimson nylium, blackstone slabs on blackstone and cobblestone slabs on basalt (this was pre-1.17, so deepslate wasn't a thing) and while it took many many hours, I think it looks very poggers as a result :D
I would love Pix to revisit the wither fight in the overworld but with dripstone over it's head.
Of all of the differences between Java and Bedrock, The Wither is the one that I wish wasn't so.
Watching people fight the Java Wither made me realize how easy it was,
Especially when you don’t have to deal with Wither for 40 seconds every time you get hit
Oh, and the double health and charging attacks,
I normally play on java, but was bored and decided to fight it on education edition (my school district uses it) and I didnt know it was so hard on bedrock
@@glauberglousger6643 the main problem is never the double health or the dash attack (if you fight it in the ocean with frost walker). It's that wither 2 effect, because the Protection enchantment in Bedrock Edition currently doesn't protect you from harmful effects. Though, in the newest Beta / Preview changelogs, it's revealed that the Protection enchantment will be buffed so it would protect you from harmful effects.
Basically, this would noticably nerf the Wither in Bedrock Edition.
Though, the Wither is already quite weak, if you know how to get it into a corner and then spam click
Never seen this much blaze in one place! WOW!
Man you make that look easy!!! thanks Pix gr8 vid as always, I have been building my survival world along side your vid's & streams and is still not close to where you are! please keep up the gr8 work!
To clarify the bedrock fight, it because Protection 4 doesn't block wither effects right now, thankfully mojang is fixing that so in God tier armor, you are wearing nothing on hard more and wither 2 is death. Nothing more unless you quickly save yourself.
hey pix, have you tried fighting the wither with iron golumes? i find it much easier and quicker
wither: *flies above iron golems*
@@grimmsoul3096 out in the open yes, not under ground or under the home portal in the end
@@eonrier9469 at the home portal IT CAN NOT MOVE
so just swipe it with a smoit V sword
(also underground some chaotic skulls could give the wither the high ground then it will just yeet and delete the golems)
Textbook fight, Pix. Great video.
I relate to pix placing the buttons in the same direction. Aesthetics always make it a little difficult for me but i prefer my world pretty over functional 😂
Starting the week with a Bang!
3:33 Watch those fireballs fly!
You can cheese the Wither on bedrock by spawning it in the end under the bedrock portal that takes you back to the Overworld lol. It ends up suffocating itself because it always tries to push up.
My first kill I hadn't done the End yet so I used the Nether roof so trap it.
@@jacara1981 bedrock players can't get on the Nether roof, unfortunately.
@@ktkupkake not the roof, you can smother the wither from below it, like using the bedrock in the end.
@@jacara1981 ohhhh! Interesting! I haven't beat the Wither or Dragon yet, my friend just showed me how he does it. I'll have to try both!
@@ktkupkake you need to dig around some to find a T formation of bedrock orientated in the right direction. You can youtube how to do it, it's quite easy.
Having a netherite smite V sword is pretty handy for farming wither skeletons and killing wither. It can one-hit-kill wither skeletons and kill wither in like 8 hits (if paired with strength 2 potion)
There was no Friday episode. I thought something happened. Welcome back mate. 🙏😊
Pix menioned a number of times already that at this point you can no longer expect daily videos for the series anymore.
@@TheRealWormbo but he usually states it in advance or in a post. Just mentioned it. That's all.
@@norbucso He also mentioned multiple times that we should get used to not getting a video every weekday.
Great job Pix! You made it look so easy :)
The biggest thing about the Wither effect on Bedrock was left unsaid. The damage due to Wither is reduced by the Protection enchantment in Java, but not on Bedrock. This means that the Wither effect is up to 64% less potent on Java Edition, or that the Wither effect is 278% more potent on Bedrock. Basically, take the fact that Pixl lost half his health bar to Wither in his test world demonstration fight, and imagine that there is no way to reduce that when you fight it for real. That is the Bedrock Edition experience.
this one is about to get change in the future update btw
recently in the bedrock beta, a fix was added to the damage reduction on armor and protection enchantment so that the wither effect damage and other misc. type of damage finally works properly
@@watchmp100 I missed that change. Good news indeed
Pixlriffs: The wither is hard.
Also Pixlriffs: beats it without taking a single hit, just like in season 1
Apparently wither skeletons spawn in 2 and a half high space and then can’t move from the spot, saw it in Ilmangos 4x4 chunk series
I usually mobproof the Nether with stone slabs, but if you don't mind using wood then you could've used wooden planks which you get double in comparison to buttons. Sure they are flammable, but as you said you can use nether wooden planks and won't have to worry about that.
Nether wood is also way more time-consuming to mine in large quantities. Whole reason I went with jungle wood is you can get four stacks in minutes!
I find buttons much easier to place than slabs, you can place them on the block you're standing on because they don't have collision
@@Pixlriffs Solid arguments, nevertheless.. they do look awful.
Dude showed us the first glimpse of actually fighting the wither after 17 mins 😲😲
Hello Pixlriffs! What a fun and great video.We enjoyed it very much! I was wondering if you could do a bed wars episode :)
Isn’t using slabs two times as efficient as buttons? I always disliked how expensive buttons are.
Yes, that's what I was thinking! 3 planks get 3 buttons but 6 slabs.
In terms of wood used, yes. The advantage of buttons is that you can't accidentally place a second button on top of a placed button, while that's pretty easy to do with slabs. So it's a trade-off of less materials vs being easier to place.
@@another_jt oh, that makes sense.
small improvement note: no need to dig 3 blocks high room to spawn a wither, you can place a T-shape of soulsands on the ground and then attrach heads - he will spawn anyway :)
Strictly apeaking, aren't half slabs better since one block divides into two slabs?
So, strictly speaking, the best material ration would still be slabs with buttons coming in second place, I guess.
Not sure if (wood) slabs can be set on fire, though. That might be an advantage for buttons. 😅
Was looking for this comment, that was what i thought too! You could even convert the nether bricks into slabs if you want to preserve the aesthetics of the fortress
Wood slabs can definitely be set on fire, and also have the disadvantage of creating full blocks if you place two of them in one place - so if you're spamming slabs everywhere, you often end up placing double-slabs which you have to break and replace, otherwise they'll be spawnable. Buttons don't have that issue.
@@Pixlriffs Yeah, I actually did not think about this issue.
However, I was mainly commenting on the ratio of the blocks. Nonetheless, buttons are still a valid choice!
Taking my drink and I'm ready for pixlriffs videos
Ah the Wither yet another fight I am avoiding on Bedrock 😂 as much as I want the beacon I am so not ready to fight that thing
the wither can be cheesed under the bedrock portal in Bedrock Edition, the set up is just slightly different. If that appeals…
On hard mode it’s practically a death sentence. On easy mode, it’s not too bad.
@@mabatch3769 on easy mode you can trap it in an obsidian cage and use it as a blast farm.
For hardmode you can also use the nether roof, just find a T shape pattern of bedrock.
I’ve recently beat the either in bedrock edition personally the fight wasn’t that hard but the hard part was dealing with the terrible lag that the fallen blocks create
Last I'd heard, poison only fails to kill you if you're playing on easy, but it will kill you on harder difficulties, unless that was changed some time ago.
Nope, poison has always left you on half a heart, on any difficulty, throughout all historical versions of the game. It puts you in a position to die easily - players typically get poisoned by cave spiders or witches, which have other ways to attack you - but the poison effect never kills you.
You're probably thinking of starvation, which leaves the player on half a heart in Normal difficulty and is fatal on Hard difficulty.
Why is the bedrock wither harder?
Small hitbox (hard to hit)
It explodes furiously while flying
Sends projectiles VERY frequently
It has DOUBLE the health from java (300 HP), so 600 HP
Midway through the fight, it brings out minions, that are the 5 wither skeletons
When killed (You killed it ? Huh?), it ends with an aggressive blast
You forgot the weapon that is its lag bomb, the dash attack lol
And the 40second wither 2 effect unlike Javas wither 1 effect. Also protection enchant doesn't work right now
Hey Pix!
Will a wither kill another wither?
Nope. Withers do not target undead mobs, which includes other withers.
@@Pixlriffs on Bedrock at least they are also immune to their own damage. And old farm use to use 2 opposing withers and sometimes their skulls would hit each other.
ImpulseSV would finally have a use for all his buttons on his hardcore map xD
For those who don't know, Pix explained how to fight the wither in a "cheeky" way (under the fountain in the end), which is arguable the easiest way, in his Minecraft Survival Guide Season One.
It is incredibly easy for us Bedrock players. Just remember to not have knockback on your sword. If you do, it can knock the wither out of the trap it is stuck in. Trust me, I know from personal experience. My end island is a mess.
You are the butter on my biscuit. Amazing content, my guy.
Finally!
my strategy was spamming regeneration potions and whacking him with a sword until it was over. this seems much more practical.
None of these wither tutorials tell you how to deal with a wither that another player has spawned at your base while you were gone. I usually just end up leading them away from my base and leaving them out in the wilderness for someone else to deal with.
Would you try the version under the bedrock in the end? Or do you find that way a little too cheaty?
5 iron golems in the tunnel will bully him to death in seconds, you can grab a popcorn
Pix, i have a question: Can you spawn the Wither in the Nether? If so, what if you spawn a wither at Ancient Debris mining level and make him work for us?
Java wither fight is child's play compared to bedrock wither, that thing is a nightmare to deal with.
I’ve never actually beaten it,
Even with giving me the best armor possible,
The Wither effect lasts way too long,
Also double health
@@glauberglousger6643 What I did was I fought it underground in the middle of nowhere, spawned a buncha golems, let them do the work as baits as you stay in the backline shooting it. It still gets tricky once it's in it's second phase tho.
Iron golems are a great help. It is also possible to use healing dipped arrows against the wither since they have an opposite effect on undead mobs.
@@glauberglousger6643 that's because right now the wither effect ignores protection inchants and resistance effects.
This is being fixed next patch.
@@jacara1981 even so, 40 seconds Is a bit too much
That spawn area looks like a convention hall full of cosplayers :D
Aren't slabs the most material efficient? Ex: You had 3 stx of logs, which would translate into 12 stx of planks. So you could either do 12 stx of buttons, or 24 stx of slabs.
And I'd rather do the buttons, because half the slabs would've been set on fire by blazes
@@Pixlriffs That's fair. I guess I'm just so used to playing with Fire Tick off so that it doesn't ruin builds
Of course it was supposed to be on ep. 75. We should have thought of it earlier
Wait wouldn't slabs be the most efficient way of spawn proofing since you get 2x per plank as opposed to 1x per plank with buttons?
Or did spawning in the nether change and I missed something
It's probably only 1.5x the amount per plank because the blazes would've burned the other half.
Buttons are fireproof, don't create full blocks if you place them too quickly, and you can place them on the block you're standing on because they don't collide with the player hitbox. They're WAY more convenient to use, and when you're making stuff out of wood - which is super easy to farm - material efficiency doesn't really matter at all
Noted 📝
Jungle logs are.... easy to farm...? What? xD Those tress are like the biggest possible pain in the butt overworld trees to farm imo! You can't make an automatic farm for them, they've got vines everywhere, they have these random bits of logs sticking out in places that can be too far to reach, and their sapling drop rate is lower so it's easier to run out if you're no in a jungle biome. If you're actively in a jungle biome, then you have the added hassle of navigating the place, it's the worst overworld biome to try to walk around in.
The only trees I would consider equally troublesome to deal with are the nether fungi, since their "leaves" don't decay and can delete stems. Acacia is up there as well, because it has the reach problem and grows in wild shapes and directions.
Don't get me wrong though haha, I can't possibly agree with jungle being easy to farm but I'm still enjoying the episode.
None of this assumes an automatic approach. Jungle, spruce, and dark oak are the easiest trees to farm manually because of the sheer amount of wood you get with a 2x2 of saplings.
The 1-sapling trees are always more of a pain to harvest with an axe: Acacia grows at awkward angles, oak has the tall variants which give you about 7 extra logs and the rest is leaves. Birch is okay but still way slower than a jungle tree.
Use a fortune hoe on the leaves if you're running low on saplings, but the 2x2 jungle trees reliably drop enough saplings for you to replant them. Vines really aren't an issue, and it's simple enough to walk out on the leaves and take down any of the longer branches.
If you're farming jungle trees automatically, just grow a 1-sapling tree like you do with oak trees, and fortune some leaves if you run out of saplings 🤷♂️
10:37 How did I get buttons in your hotbar without opening ur inventory?
Middle mouse button (often called scroll), Pix covered it in one of first episodes of this season
@@polskistalker oh, thanks. Do u by any chance know which episode?
@@ShavayD it's episode called ''controls, keyboard shortcuts and F3 Minecraft Survival Guide (tutorial) 1.18 caves and cliffs update''. It's second video on his Survival Guide 2 playlist on his channel
@@polskistalker oh, thank u
It's absolutely killing me, why didnt you just break the blaze spawners? xD I understand you might want to use them, but since you turned the whole area into a place to farm Wither Skulls, the Blazzes take up mob cap too dont they? Wouldnt it be more efficient to get rid of the blaze spawners instead of using potions?
No shade, just absolutely curious because all those blazes gave me anxiety xD
I think blazes can naturally spawn as well
Make 5 to 6 iron golem. They help massively
Diorite is the best block for the Nether. Very easy to see.
Cool video hope to see you kill it in the end by spawning it under the end portal bedrock 🥳 and also dragon vs wither
Is making a spawning platform like that worth it /does it work on bedrock and produce mobs in bulk similar?
i got really lucky with wither skulls. the first skelly i killed droped one and after 20 mins i had all 3
Wouldn't you get twice as many slabs for the same amount of planks?
Never fought the Wither boss, even that Neither Fortress is given me nightmares. 😳
wouldn't it be possible to build this on the nether roof? or does the spawn radius not work all the way up there?
The bounding box of a nether fortress only covers the structure itself, not the area above/below it.
@@Pixlriffs ahh as I suspected, then buttons it is!
Ah so I should be removing all the shroomlights to make endermen spawn. I had a suspicion but I guess I must do the work.
One day, I'll do the real fight. I learned that 7 iron golems kill the wither in a matter of seconds in the deepslate tunnel, and I have a beast of an iron farm, so now I have 7 beacons. Lol
It’s worth noting, also, the wither always attempts to stay over the player even in flight….the higher you fly, the higher the wither goes, and it takes a while to come back down. I know of at least two players with withers loose in the stratosphere of their worlds if the chunks are unloaded, unless they despawned. How long does it take to despawn? Do they despawn in unloaded chunks?
The wither, as a boss mob, doesn't despawn. But when the chunks aren't loaded, the wither is basically frozen in place. It'll only descend (slowly) while it's loaded. So as long as you avoid that part of the world, it'll stay up in the sky.
Withers don’t despawn. Like, at all. If you go back to those chunks, the wither will still be there, at the position it had when the chunk was unloaded.
@@Pixlriffs oh, laudy! Lol! Imagine forgetting it’s there and starting to build in the area when the bar appears one day….
how did you applied the armour without opening the inventory?
Right click when holding the item, if that item's required armour slot is free. [ But if you're already wearing, say a chest plate, and you right click holding a chest plate, it won't do anything - i.e. it won't swap the held item for the one you're wearing ]
@@IngieKerr ok
Wait you get 1 button per plank but 2 slabs per plank. Wouldn’t slabs be more efficient?
Yes, but “slabs are more liable to burning and buttons are more convenient to place” said pix in one of his streams
@@derptea7 ah thank you
on bedrock what is the chance of getting a wither skeleton skull i have 6-9 on my survival world from just passing though the fortress for blaze rods!? i've even seen wither skeletons picking up their own skulls a stupid number of times
(legit bedrock has buffed chance for skull and buffed WITHER)
(also what about jungle slabs? as its a 1;2 ratio, or can they be set of fire?)
Slabs are cheaper than buttons tho? Anyways awesome video!
Cheaper yes, but way more annoying to place. You can't accidentally double up buttons, creating a spawnable block again. Also, as Pix added as overlay, even wooden buttons are actually non-flammable. Plus you can craft them without using a crafting table or stone cutter.
I don't really get why you would use buttons for spawn proofing. You get 1 button per plank/stone, but you would get 2 slabs per plank/stone. Is there another reason why buttons are better?
Buttons are fireproof and easier to place. You end up placing a lot of double slabs by accident when you’re mindlessly placing them for hours on end. Doesn’t happen with buttons. And honestly, material cost isn’t really a problem when you can farm wood this easily.
@@Pixlriffs Thanks for your quick response :). Placing buttons is indeed a lot easier
if 3 oak planks can make 6 slabs and only 3 buttons, why are buttons used more often for spawn proofing?
Buttons are fireproof, and it's much easier to spam them with right-click. Spawn-proofing this whole fortress took about 4 hours. With slabs you end up making double slabs a lot. It saves you time, and the material cost is basically meaningless when wood is easy to farm even manually
@@Pixlriffs makes since, i really regreted not using buttons once when i spent an hour placing top slabs on accident
Why did you use buttons when slabs had a better ratio of crafting?
Buttons aren't flammable, can be crafted in a 2x2 so you don't need to keep using a crafting table, and they're easier to place. You can spam buttons by just holding right-click, whereas doing that with slabs means you sometimes create a full block - a mistake which you have to correct, otherwise it'll have a chance to spawn mobs.
Honestly the efficiency of materials doesn't matter much when you're using wood, it's so easy to farm
@@Pixlriffs that is a good point
Notification Gang is here!!
Would slabs not be a better investment than buttons? One log = 4 planks = 4 buttons but 8 slabs
Feel free to do this with slabs if you want! I found buttons easier, and you really don't need to worry about material cost when the materials are farmed this easily
*Important!* If you are playing bedrock edition, DON'T FIGHT IT UNDERGROUND, as it destroys so many blocks that the item entities will lag your computer into the ground. I've heard it's best over an ocean with an elytra, where it can destroy as little terrain as possible.
That's true, unless you fight it in a BIG cave, there, the Wither would basically won't be able to destroy blocks with it's skulls (unless using the blue skulls).
If you have full protection 4 netherite, you can make the wither mine for you.
Do honey bottles remove the wither effect?
