Wither Jockey

I think there should be a new mob in Minecraft called the Wither Jockey. It would essentially be a wither skeleton on a wither skeleton horse. You would be able to find it only in Nether Fortresses and it would be very rare and the horse would be just as hostile as the wither skeleton riding it. You would be able to obtain a wither skeleton horse, but only by feeding a skeleton horse a wither rose to transform it into one, and then a piece of Nether Wart to tame it. You would not be able to tame a wild one, or if you could, it would be a lot harder to do so. Like all nether mobs, they would be immune to fire and lava. If the Wither effect is gained while riding one of these horses, the effect should be shorter or not as harmful. I think this addition would really compliment the upcoming Nether Update in 1.16. This is just my idea, but if Mojang were to add it, anything could be changed.

    Sounds nice, although the Wither effect should just be less lethal.

    Wither jockeys should probably spawn in Soul Sand Valleys

    As for me, these Withered Riders must attack Piglins and raid his Bastions.
