	When spawned, the wither switches colors between black and blue as its health bar fills up. While in this state, the wither is invulnerable and neither moves nor attacks. When this state ends after 11 seconds or 220 game ticks, the wither creates a large [[Minecraft:explosion]] centered on itself, destroying nearby blocks and dealing tons of damage to nearby players and other [[Minecraft:entities]].

	The wither's block-breaking behavior makes [[Minecraft:suffocation]] ineffective under most circumstances. However, the blocks listed above, as well as some natural structures that include them (like the [[Minecraft:exit portal]]), can be used to suffocate the wither due to their wither immunity.

	:Upon noticing a [[Minecraft:mob]] or a [[Minecraft:player]] within 40 blocks, the wither hovers above it and rapidly shoots black [[#Wither Skull\|wither skull]]s. The wither always tries to fly 5 blocks above, and within 3 blocks horizontally from its target. Each head fires independently, allowing a wither to attack up to three different mobs/players at the same time. The wither skulls try to fly toward the middle of the target's eye height and its feet vertically and the middle of its hitbox horizontally.		:Upon noticing a [[Minecraft:mob]] or a [[Minecraft:player]] within 40 blocks, the wither hovers above it and rapidly shoots black [[#Wither Skull\|wither skull]]s.

			When the wither is damaged, the blue skull counters increase by '''+3'''. This increment occurs even if the wither is under its [[Minecraft:Damage#Invulnerability timer\|invulnerability timer]] and cannot lose health — the event is still treated as valid for the counter. The 12‑tick threshold and the 2–3 second/9.5–17.2 second intervals are calculated from the wither's processing.
