Minecraft:Wither Rose

Template:Infobox block A wither rose is a Minecraft:flower that inflicts the Wither effect on Minecraft:players and Minecraft:mobs that touch it. It drops when a Minecraft:mob or player is killed by a Minecraft:wither.

Obtaining

Unlike with other one-block-tall flowers Template:In, players cannot spread wither roses on top of nearby grass blocks by applying Minecraft:bone meal on a wither rose.

Breaking

A wither rose can be broken instantly with any item or by hand, dropping itself.

A wither rose also breaks if Minecraft:water or Minecraft:lava runs over its location, if a Minecraft:piston extends or pushes a block into its location, or if the block under the plant is moved or destroyed. Template:Breaking row

Mob loot

Any Minecraft:mob, Minecraft:player or Minecraft:mannequinTemplate:Only killed by the Minecraft:wither drops one wither rose upon death. If possible, the wither rose is placed on the Minecraft:block where the mob or player died. If the flower cannot be placed there, or if the Minecraft:game rule Template:Cd is set to Template:Cd, the flower is dropped as an item instead. Wither roses are dropped even when the game rule Template:Cd is set to Template:Cd.<ref>Template:Bug</ref><ref>Template:Bug</ref> A Minecraft:creaking is considered killed by a wither if it destroys the Minecraft:creaking heart linked to it, for example by a TNT; the wither rose is dropped in the creaking's location. Withers cannot be killed by other withers, except if they are removed from the tag Template:Tag linkTemplate:Only.

Template:IN, Minecraft:endermen can pick up wither roses, like any other one-block-tall flower, and Minecraft:drop it if killed while holding it.

Usage

Like most flowers, wither roses can be used as decoration and planted on Minecraft:grass blocks, Minecraft:dirt, Minecraft:coarse dirt, Minecraft:rooted dirt, Minecraft:farmland, Minecraft:podzol, Minecraft:mycelium, Minecraft:moss blocks, Minecraft:pale moss blocks, Minecraft:mud, or Minecraft:muddy mangrove roots. They can also be planted on Minecraft:netherrack or Minecraft:soul sand. Template:IN, wither roses can also be planted on Minecraft:soul soil.

Damaging

When not in Minecraft:Peaceful difficulty, wither roses inflict the Wither effect to any Minecraft:players or non-immune Minecraft:mobs touching it, dealing Template:Hp damage every half second. The effect lingers for 1 second after the player/mob leaves its Minecraft:block space. Minecraft:Wither skeletons, the Minecraft:wither, and the Minecraft:ender dragon are not affected because they are immune to the Wither effect.

When placed in a flower pot, wither roses do not cause damage to any entity. Template:IN, when a wither rose is Minecraft:snowlogged, it does not emit particles and does not hurt entities.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Suspicious stew

Suspicious stew that is created using a wither rose imparts the Wither effect for 7 seconds, dealing Template:Hp damage. It can be crafted using a wither rose or produced by feeding a wither rose to a brown Minecraft:mooshroom and then milking it with a Minecraft:bowl.

Mob spawning

Minecraft:Wither skeletons and Minecraft:zombified piglinsTemplate:Only<ref>Template:Bug</ref> are the only mobs that can spawn on wither roses, given their spawning requirements are met.

Bees

As with other mobs, when a Minecraft:bee touches a wither rose on any Minecraft:difficulty other than Peaceful, it is inflicted with the Wither effect. Despite this, bees still attempt to pollinate wither roses and succeed if the difficulty is set to Peaceful.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Wither roses can be used to lead bees, but cannot be used to breed them or grow baby bees. Feeding a bee a wither rose inflicts it with the Wither effect for Template:Convert, without angering the bee.

Bee nests

Minecraft:Oak, Minecraft:birch, and Minecraft:cherry trees grown from Minecraft:saplings that are within 2 blocks of a wither rose have a 5% chance to grow with a Minecraft:bee nest and 2-3 Minecraft:bees in it.

Composting

Placing a wither rose into a Minecraft:composter has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1. A stack of wither roses yields an average of 5.94 Minecraft:bone meal.

History

Trivia

• Wither roses deal the same damage while in contact (and a second more) as Minecraft:magma blocks, via the Wither effect.
• The rarity of wither roses is Common, despite the fact that a rare item (the Minecraft:wither skeleton skull) is required to encounter them in the first place.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
