Summon the Wither in your sealed arena and survive its birth blast.

Three skulls. Four soul sand. One skull left to place… and no way to un-summon what comes next.

  • New skill Summoning the Wither safely
  • Level 9 · Ultimate Survival
  • Difficulty Advanced
  • Mode Survival
  • Time 20–30 min
  • Ages 13+

What you’ll build

Set your respawn near the arena and load your battle hotbar, then build the T of soul sand with your teammate ready. Place the last skull, sprint to your blast shelter, survive the birth explosion and fire your first arrows as the battle begins.

Finish line: You've summoned the Wither far from home, survived its birth blast and the battle is under way.

Bonus challenge: Peek out of a lookout hole and time the glowing from the last skull to the blast. How close was your guess?

You’ll need

  • 3 wither skeleton skulls
  • 4 soul sand or soul soil
  • Your battle kit
  • Milk buckets
  • A family member or friend

You choose

  • The Wither's villain name
  • My blast shelter: the panic bunker or the escape tunnel
  • Who places the final skull

Stuck?

  • Nothing happened? The spaces either side of the T's bottom block must be empty.
  • Place the middle skull last, then run. The blast when it wakes is huge.
  • Summon it far from home. The Wither breaks almost any block.
