Introduction
This mod/datapack aims to completely overhaul the Wither fight by providing some general improvements and a set of destructive moves that revolve around the theme of explosions and chaos.

The Wither will be a more fun and difficult fight, like its Bedrock cousin.


Admin Commands
Configuration: "/function wither_rework:config"

Uninstallation: "/function wither_rework:uninstall"

Features
Implemented
- The Wither's health has been increased from a measly 300 to an enormous 600 points.

- Adding onto that, it now boasts 20 armour and 10 armour toughness. However, there will be ways for you to disable his defences whilst fighting him.

- The Wither will no longer fly high above the player so it can actually be hit. (Configurable)

- Upon being spawned, a splash text will be displayed for all players in range of the Wither.
(This is added via a resource pack which is included as "assets" in the Datapack version, which you will have to add in yourself by creating a new resource pack. _If you are unable or do not want to create the resource pack, nothing will change as its just a 2-second texture._ For the mod version, this is already included.)

- 2 Phases.

- 5 New attacks that you will be able to learn and adapt to.

- A death animation for the Wither.

- Ambience added to the Nether Star when dropped from the Wither.

- A bunch of explosions.

Planned
- Dynamic difficulty scaling (Based on world difficulty)

- Boss music for the Wither

Warning
Do not fight the Wither near anything you find valuable.


Attacks

Details
Attack 1
The Wither ascends high up and sprays the ground with Wither Skulls. However, it cannot shoot directly under himself.

Attack 2
The Wither retreats and charges back at the closest mob. After reaching its target, it will explode.

Attack 3
The Wither flies above the player and slams down on them, creating a massive explosion. The Wither will be stunned for some time after this.

Attack 4
The Wither will follow the nearest player and periodically explode.

Attack 5
The Wither releases decaying gas across the ground. The Wither will be exhausted after this so he will also be stunned.


Recommendations

Equipment
I advise you to wear at least full diamond armour, with any level of protection. (Ideally some blast protection too.)

- For your sword, diamond + smite or anything matching that damage will do just fine.

- Bring a Shield.

Or you can fight it with Iron-level equipment if you're skilled enough.


Permission
If you wish to use this mod/datapack in any public form, then go ahead! However, I would appreciate it if you give me credit.

Hey I was wondering if you had any plans to update the 1.20.1 version? If not, is there an easy way for me to add the new music/attacks to the older version? Otherwise, really enjoying the mod, thank you! :)

Hi! Is there any update to this datapack for 1.21.3 ? It seems to be broken in that version as the wither dies upon spawning instead! Huge thanks for the datapack though, it is a very amazing pack!

I haven't tested 1.20.4 thoroughly myself but versions 1.20.1 to 1.20.6 aren't fully optimized. If you find any performance issues please tell me.

Does this work on 1.21.3? because when I try and spawn the wither It just does the death animation immediately.
