Nether Fortress Wither Boss Hint

As of 1.16 there is a new block with the wither skeleton engraving on it (chiseled nether bricks). This could be utilized in a new room in the nether fortress to give the player the idea that if they place the blocks in the structure (soul sand T with 3 wither skulls) it would create the wither. To give them the idea without actually creating the wither, you could replace the skulls with chiseled nether bricks instead of actual skulls.

    Well, there's already a painting to hint at that, and that plus the internet is probably good enough

    While I do think the internet is an easy way to find out how the wither is created, good game development shouldn't rely on the internet telling the players how to play the game.  It should be done in a way that rewards the player for their observations.  A painting can do this, but most minecraft players don't bother with putting up paintings.
