The wither on bedrock edition is too powerful

The either on bedrock has 600 health, while on java it only has 300. Also, the protection enchantment on bedrock doesn’t protect against status effects like wither ll, so the wither effect is too powerful on bedrock as it deals too much damage to deal with. There are also some features on bedrock that I think should be on java regarding the wither, like how at half health it summons wither skeletons and gets the dash attack. Finally, the wither can regenerate health on java but can’t on bedrock, I think this feature should be on both versions. This should make the boss fight difficult, but not too difficult.

    I disagree, the wither on bedrock is fine, what we need is a harder Java wither.

    The difficulty of the boss should depend on the difficulty of the game (easy, normal, hard).

    I personally, think that the wither should just be harder on java. I mean they have so much more stuff than us they need a little challenge.

    I think Bedrock and Java should have all the same content as each other, rather than having a bunch of differences.

    Nah, Bedrock Wither is great. I just beat it for the first time yesterday. Finished half of its health on Hard difficulty and would have continued if it wasn’t for a massive amount of lag, not having a Smite sword, getting myself trapped in Bedrock all the time and having my milk and potions blown up since I didn’t close the walls of my obsidian room. I switched it to Easy on the second half, and it was almost nothing; it wouldn’t have been fair to deal with withering with the massive amount of lag I hadI would have kept it on Normal at least if it wasn’t for all of the tragedies I mentioned. I didn’t even trap it under bedrock. My point is, it’s incredibly hard, but it’s not impossible, I only tuned the difficulty down cause the fight unexpectedly messed up. I think the way it is on Bedrock should be how hard it is; the game is already really easy and the Bedrock Wither is one of the only things that make up for that, that’s provided you don’t cheese it like most people do. It heavily depends on difficulty and strategy. I just made it hard and even unfair for myself by starting on Hard and spawning it right above Bedrock, but I still managed to survive and kill it legitimately.

    I agree the wither is to op at least downgrade it's power ups like the rush the wither is already hard to beat when its shooting its skulls and calling upon its wither guards.  It's OP to a point were its even hard to kill in creative.  Its moves too fast and it's way too OP to be a mob in just general.  Lower the health or do something to make it less OP.

    The wither in bedrock edition is legitimately ridiculous. Double health compared to java, protection enchant doesn't apply to wither effect in bedrock, IT SPAWNS wither skeletons, it DOESN'T return to the normal mode after it heals back above half health AND its melee mode is much more powerful and faster than in java edition. The healing in bedrock is also unbelievably subpar which means if you get hit with the wither effect ONCE, you're dead without milk. Like I'm not interested in fighting this thing in a obsidian cube; it shouldn't be gamebreaking, but there is literally nothing to be done

    Nah, the bedrock wither is fine.... With full prot 4 netherite and golden apples that is. I mean, its a piece of cake despite the wither effect if you have full netherite with prot. It gets that easy to beat it that i wait to go down to two hearts to play with it and then heal back to full by spamming golden apples and just, its a piece of cake. Just use a decent sword and bow, as much golden apples as you need, perhaps a strength 2 potion and/or health potions and you're pretty much set, you can't die as long as you remember to heal with golden apples. For the people experiencing lag, a huge tip: turn off tile drops in settings and it will not lag. Don't use milk buckets as they are just not worth it and clog up your inventory: use golden apples or optionally, regen potions. And you also dont need an obsidian cube as i have seen players who do that: its unnecessary in short. My preferred conditions are: 50 to 64 golden apples, a sharpness 5 netherite sword, full prot 4 netherite with thorns 2, a power 5 bow with infinity. Have that and you're pretty much set.
