Does anyone remember the Friendly Wither from Java Edition 2.0? No? Well here's a picture of her to jog your memory.
Remember now? Good, let's continue.
The Friendly Wither (Now called the Flourish) would be brought back to Minecraft as a new Utility Mob, much like Snow Golems and Iron Golems. She would be built similar to the Wither, but with more positive materials. Its body would be made out of four Pink Glazed Terracotta in the same shape as the body of a Wither or Iron Golem, and a Potted Red Tulip on the top middle Pink Glazed Terracotta.
When spawned in (Which doesn't involve an explosion), the Flourish will only have one head. At this point, the Flourish will only be able to apply Bone Meal to nearby Grass Blocks. This is all the Flourish can do unless players feed it a new block; the Sugar Cube!
A Sugar Cube can be crafted with nine Sugar in a Crafting Table. Sugar Cubes can be fed to Horses, Donkeys, and Mules to heal 15 hearts. They also serve as a compact way to store sugar, and they can be used to improve the Flourish's abilities.
After feeding the Flourish a Sugar Cube, another head will spout from its body. This head will become larger and larger with each Sugar Cube fed to it. Ten Sugar Cubes are required to get the head to its full size. Once the second head has achieved max size, the Flourish will then be able to fire "Love Bombs" a pink recolor of the Dragon Fireball. Love Bombs apply Instant Healing to any mob they hit, but they will only fire them at players, tamed Mobs, and Utility Mobs.
Feeding a Flourish another ten Sugar Cubes will cause it to grow a third head. With this final upgrade, it can grant a unique status effect on nearby players, tamed mobs, and Utility mobs; Flourish's Blessing. This effect causes the aforementioned classes of mobs to regenerate faster, their Hunger doesn't deplete, and they are given the Strength and Haste status effects as long as they are close enough to the Flourish.
The Flourish is passive to all Mobs in its first phase. Once it has two or more heads it will attack Undead Mobs (Including the Wither) by firing its Love Bombs at them. Undead are hurt by Instant Healing after all.
