The Wither Guard keeps the center of the world safe from Wither damage, so new players never spawn into a wrecked landscape.
How it works#
- Building a Wither (soul sand and Wither skeleton skulls) is blocked within 10,000 blocks of 0, 0 - on both the X and Z axis.
- This only applies in the Overworld.
- If a build is blocked, your soul sand and skulls stay where you placed them - nothing is lost.
- Players nearby get a message explaining why the Wither didn't spawn.
TipWant to fight a Wither? Travel past 10,000 blocks from spawn in the Overworld, or summon it in the Nether or the End.
