A '''wither skeleton skull''' is the [[Minecraft:head]] of a wither skeleton in the form of a [[Minecraft:block]], which is a rare drop from killed wither skeletons. Three of them can be used to summon a [[Minecraft:wither]], a destructive boss mob that is the only source of Nether stars.

[[Minecraft:Wither]]s can be spawned by placing soul sand or soul soil in a T shape and placing 3 wither skeleton skulls on top of the T. The T can be horizontal or vertical, and the last block placed must be one of the three wither skeleton skulls. A dispenser can also create a wither by placing the final wither skeleton skull onto soul sand directly in front of and below it.

Usage

Decoration

Wither skeleton skulls can be oriented in 16 different directions on top of a block, and 4 directions on the sides of blocks, similar to Minecraft:signs. They can be placed on top of or beside each other by shift clicking.

Wearing

Template:See also

The player can wear wither skeleton skulls, similarly to Minecraft:pumpkins or helmets. This overlays the second layer of the player's Minecraft:skin.

Disguise

Unlike some other heads and skulls, wearing a wither skeleton skull does not reduce the detection range for Minecraft:wither skeletons.

Template:IN, wearing a wither skeleton skull makes the player invisible to other players on a locator Minecraft:map.

Withers

Template:FakeImage

Minecraft:Withers can be spawned by placing soul sand or soul soil in a T shape and placing 3 wither skeleton skulls on top of the T. The T can be horizontal or vertical, and the last block placed must be one of the three wither skeleton skulls. A dispenser can also create a wither by placing the final wither skeleton skull onto soul sand directly in front of and below it.

Dispensers

A Minecraft:dispenser can equip a wither skeleton skull on a player, mob, or armor stand with an empty helmet slot, within the block the dispenser is facing.

The Minecraft:dispenser can also complete the construction of a wither by placing wither skeleton skulls unless the Minecraft:difficulty is set to peaceful.
