Okay, I am currently building a map called Prison Escape. We have gotten most of the map complete however for the final boss fight we wanted to use the Wither. Our problem is that we can't seem to get him to spawn via Command Block. Or if there is another (Better) way to spawn him then feel free to suggest it!

Here is what we have tried to use in the command block so far:

/spawn Wither
/spawn WitherBoss <-- this one works if a player types it.

We have also tried using a piston to push a block of soul sand to complete the building of the Wither.

As always I much appreciate your help!

You can't spawn mobs via commandblocks.
You can either use MCedit and make a spawner that only spawn him when the player is 1 block close to it or just make it yourself.

Have a command block give the players the supplies needed to build him?

idk if pistons work with heads. i think you should do it with the middle block.

You can make the wither shape,and dont put the middle head. put a piston to push the head when a player steps in a pressure plate,or pulls a lever.

This actually wouldn't work. The game is coded so that you can't create the Wither without player interaction. This is in place so that there's no easy way to mass produce Withers (really though, imagine creating tens of Wither bosses at a time.)

Anyhow, your best bet is to go with bhmiji.

Hmm... this might require some MCedit and technical stuff, but you could use a spawner constantly spawning a wither spawner in a mine cart (yo dawg! ), though the mine cart is being constantly destroyed by lava, which was dispensed from a dispenser nearby. when you'd like to spawn the wither, you emit a redstone signal to the dispenser, which will suck up the lava, which will allow the mine cart to spawn the wither. You could spawn him only once by emitting a another pulse after a short time, to pour the lava back.

It might be a bit complicated at the beggining, but you'll figure it out.
(You can watch Sethbling's videos, he uses them quite alot. If you need any more help, fell free to PM me or something )

Hope this helps!

If its bukkit, you can get a plugin called essentials, and that gives you the command /mob wither 1 and it spawns it. Or, If you need to build it, you can place 4 soul sand in a shape of a t and 3 wither heads on top.

That was a good idea, However that would cause lag on the entire map... which could make other parts of the map impossible to complete for some users. Thanks thought
