Will the Wither fight the Ender Dragon?

Answered by Michael Wilson

In Minecraft, the Wither and the Ender Dragon are two of the most powerful and challenging mobs that players can encounter. Both of these bosses possess unique abilities and pose a significant threat to players. However, when it comes to the question of whether the Wither will fight the Ender Dragon, the answer is a bit more complex.

By default, the Wither and the Ender Dragon do not engage in direct combat with each other. They are programmed to target players, not each other. So, if you were hoping for an epic showdown between these two formidable foes, I’m sorry to say that it won’t happen naturally in the game.

That being said, there are ways to manipulate the game mechanics to make the Wither and the Ender Dragon fight each other. One method is by using commands or mods to change the targeting behavior of these mobs. By making them target specific mobs, such as zombies or skeletons, you can trick them into attacking each other.

For example, you could set the Ender Dragon to target Wither Skeletons and the Wither to target Endermen. This would cause them to engage in combat with their newly assigned targets. However, keep in mind that this requires modifying the game files or using external tools, which might not be possible for all players.

Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that the Wither and the Ender Dragon have different attack patterns and abilities. The Wither is known for its explosive projectiles and ability to inflict the Wither effect, which gradually drains the player’s health. On the other hand, the Ender Dragon primarily attacks with melee strikes and can create powerful shockwaves.

If you were somehow able to bring the Wither and the Ender Dragon into close proximity, their attacks could potentially collide and cause damage to each other. For instance, if the Ender Dragon were to fly low enough, the Wither’s skull projectiles might collide with it. Similarly, the Ender Dragon’s ender breath could potentially hit the Wither if it were close enough.

While it might be challenging to orchestrate a direct confrontation between the Wither and the Ender Dragon, it can certainly be an entertaining experiment to try out in creative mode or with the help of mods. Just imagine the chaos and destruction that would ensue if these two powerful bosses were to clash!

To summarize, in the vanilla version of Minecraft, the Wither and the Ender Dragon do not naturally engage in combat with each other. However, with the use of commands or mods, it is possible to manipulate their targeting behavior and make them fight. So, while it may not occur in the default game, the possibility of a Wither versus Ender Dragon battle exists with some creativity and modifications.
