So after watching a lot of videos (which I learned later are all Java versions) on how to kill the will, I decided to give it a go. I recently got serious into Minecraft about 2 months ago. I always just play for a few weeks and stopped because I never really figured out what you can do. That changed when I found Hermitcraft and started watching those. Love it. So in theirs, and others, people seemed to be able to trap the wither in bedrock in the ceiling in the Nether, or under the bedrock in the end. So I dug up (right above my nether portal...) and spawned the wither. By myself. For the first time. #GotWrecked. Took 30 minutes and by Bro-In-Law finally joining but we did it.
I then got into creative and went to the end and tried the same thing. Didn't work. So I am just wondering what the best method people have found to kill the Wither? I play on PC and Xbox.
A friend and I used Method 4 from the Wiki article. We dug down quite a ways and made sure the tunnel and room were lined 2-deep with stone or cobblestone (no dirt or gravel). With potions of healing, Power V bows, and Smite V swords it wasn't that difficult.
If I was by myself, I'd make the tunnel much, much longer. :-)
Not sure if it still works but there was a way to trap one in an end gateway not the end portal.(preferably one u never plan to use...ever). However it's kinda cheaty as you just wait for it to die after it spawns.
Yeah I tried to spawn it under the bedrock where the dragon hangs out, no dice. Then I tried messing around with the little.... I dunno end Pylon? I have never actually been in the end until this post to test the method. I tried it around that also and he just popped right out. Is the gateway the little portal you have to throw an end pearl through?
I've always had somebody with me when I would fight the Wither Boss. I only play solo now because you can't Exit Without Saving on this newest version. Damn you Bedrock! I've yet to fight him solo. I used to just spawn it in a forest area away from base and beat it straight up. Golden Apples, Health Potions, Strong Armor and Weapons. The Ender Dragon is a bit more tough on Bedrock so I imagine the Wither Boss is buffed up too. Might be a cool idea to make an arena like area all the way down to Bedrock. Never spawned it in the end or nether.
Side note, I just finished building the Wither Boss last night! Pretty happy with the result.

Yes that. Found the vid I used. I went through one found another not far from where I came though. Again it's kinda cheaty this way but all I was after is a beacon
Ok so I did the worst I could do almost and can't figure this out now. I built the wither in the overworld and now have built a hole so big I can't hit him. He's 2/3 dead so no arrows and don't know what to do. Anyone have some ideas?? Plz
Best way that I have found is get a diamond sword and a bow with infinity, and piercing. Build an obsidian tower for yourself where there is a one block window on each side, shoot the wither with arrows until he comes close and then finish him off with your sword. Approximately takes 10 minutes.

How come you've got ghasts in the overworked?

I built all the mobs in the overworld to look like they are heading towards my city to attack. That's not a real one but looks exactly like it.

Ah cool, looks good
