Complete Nether Overhaul- wither boss

The second idea is the wither rework. Here is how it would work:

1. The player gathers wither skulls and soul sand like usual.

2. In the nether fortress there is a room with a wither reactor or a block for which the wither is placed on. When you complete the normal T shape the wither comes to life and the reactor transmits a beam to the wither giving it power and the wither explodes like usual but does no block damage.

3. The withers attacks will not do damage to blocks but he will gain a special flamethrower attack which will set any blocks or entities it touches on fire. If the player uses a shield he has a very high chance of blocking it from in front. If the player gets hit from behind then see ya in heaven Steve...

4. Once the fight ends the reactor will send out a beam sucking in the energy to create a wither star which sits atop it ready to be picked up.

The new reactor block can only work in the nether which means the fight has to take place there however the fight will be more fun

The wither star will now gain 3 functions.

1. To craft a beacon,

2 to craft a second reactor which can be placed anywhere in the nether

3. it can be used as a very long lasting fuel source, almost infinite maybe..

    I think it would be cool if a wither star could be used to create a new reactor (recipe below) and then the reactor could be placed anywhere, so to fight it in the overworld you would have to overcome the challenge of fighting it in the nether first.

    Diamond, Obsidian, Diamond

    Obsidian, Star, Obsidian

    Obsidian, Obsidian, Obsidian

    And it can only destroy blocks if you fight it in the overworld but doesn't have the flamethrower attack in the overworld

    also if you make a reactor it will drop 6 obsidian when broken (unless broken with silk touch pickaxe)

    and it cannot be broken in the nether (unless you placed it)

    Just an idea

    Honestly I'd remove the diamonds from the recipe and possible include some nether bricks but also it feels a little cheaty having a wither in the overworld/end so maybe have an toggle able option where you can either allow it to spawn in the end or have it self destruct in the overworld/end default and drop nothing. But honesty having a crafting recipe for it could be good and yea everything else sounds good however I'd have it that the block in the nether would only break after the fight is finished
