In my playthrough I found places in the nether where there were wither skeleton spawns but I could only describe these places as like little fortress like "mine shaft" entrances. I found two just randomly in the lava in the nether. They have the nether fortress blocks and fences in a 5x5 square sitting on top of lava and go down about 5 blocks also. Hope this helps!

r/MCEternal on Reddit: How to obtain a nether star
May 11, 2020 -

So I'm working my way through. I've killed about 10 red dragons (no eggs), and just killed the ender dragon. I use a superium bow with infinity enchant, all green dragonscale armor, and an armored jetpack.

I can produce ender eyes via agriculture. I want to goto the underneath, but I've never even seen a wither skeleton, let alone collect 3 of their skulls.

Any tips on how to get a nether star?

Also, torch thrower is the greatest invention ever.

4 days ago - The nether star can be obtained only by defeating the Wither boss, which is created using Soul sand and Wither Skeleton Skulls. One nether star is dropped each time; the dropped amount is not affected by the Looting enchantment. In Java Edition, nether stars dropped by withers take 10 minutes to despawn and are immune to explosions.

December 3, 2022 - Use the item's pretty name name="Nether Star", not the item's ID. ... Omg i am stupid. Thank you ... no but if U keep it at @p on multiplayer it will execute on another player once U put any selectors in that command plus @p adds an extra tick of delay of lag so if U want optimation use @s on the second one bot the first one

Here is a solution which has three steps. Use the testforblock command to test for the nether stars, then the tp command to teleport the player, then the setblock command to reset the chest contents.

A nice thing about this system, it doesn't care if there are other items in the chest. They will be eliminated whenever the chest has 4 nether stars placed into it.

Command blocks:

The first is a Repeat Unconditional Always Active block with command:

testforblock <x1> <y1> <z1> minecraft:chest -1 {Items:[{id:"minecraft:nether_star",Count:4b}]}

The second is a Chain Conditional Always Active block with command:

tp @p[x=x1,y=y1,z=z1] <x2> <y2> <z2>

The third is a Chain Conditional Always Active block with command:

setblock <x1> <y1> <z1> minecraft:chest     

Replace <x1> <y1> <z1> with the coordinates of the chest. In the second command, replace x1, y1, and z1 with the coordinates of the chest and replace <x2> <y2> <z2> with the coordinates that the player is to be teleported to.

The command blocks have to be loaded in order to function. They can either be placed near the chest, preferably in the same chunk, or they can be placed in the spawn chunks where they will always be loaded.

System weaknesses:

The player has to put a stack of exactly 4 nether stars into the chest for this to work. If the 4 stars are split into multiple stacks or the player places a stack larger then 4, it will not function.

If a player places 4 stars into the chest while there is another player closer to the chest, the player closest to the chest will be teleported instead of the player who put the stars into the chest.

To detect the nether star, in my opinion it is best to make an item sorter. This can be made to only accept one type of item (in your case a nether star). If you place a repeater against a hopper, it will generate a signal whenever there is an item going through it. You can use this item to control a command block.

The command to teleport someone to a given location (if you know the coordinates) is /tp @p <x> <y> <z>, with @p denoting the player who is the closest to the command block. You replace <x> <y> and <z> by the coordinates you want the player to teleport to. To clear the inventory of a player, you use the following command: /clear @p. In the same way as the last command, it will clear the inventory of the player who is the closest to the command block.

Hey guys, I'm new to modded and I'm playing FTB academy for the first time. I'm currently getting into draconic evolution and need a lot of nether stars. Is there an easy way to kill the wither or what way would yous recommend going about it ? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello and welcome to modded minecraft, IIRC ftb academy has the Wither Builder from Industrial Foregoing, combine that with the mob grinder from DE or mob crusher from industrial foregoing and you'll have an auto wither spawner and killer, the absorption hopper will be able to pick up your nether stars for you. next you'll need a way to automate wither skeleton skulls and soul sand, the best way to get wither skulls would be to use a mob duplicator from Industrial Foregoing to spawn wither skeles and killing them with the mob masher from mob_grinding_utils with 10x beheading upgrade for soul sand there are a couple of ways to automate, - using the sludge refiner to refine sludge to get some soul sand but this is RNG based and slow so i wouldn't recommend it - mana infusion with botania with a conjuration catalyst to duplicate soul sand, 1 -> 2, 2->4, but this can be a pain to automate - more feasibly you could automate automic reconstructor on sand to get soul sand, but it can get pretty power hungry this way - lastly and the probably the method i'll go for would be to automate netherwart farming, crafting into netherwart blocks and using a collector crystal to turn that into soul sand

Just put down the mod grinder from Draconic Evolution. That thing is made for killing Withers. They spawn, they die. You don't need more. For the most inexpansive way, place the blocks on the place with block placers, After it spawns push it up into Witherproof blocks with a piston, step back and watch pretty explosions. You don't need more.
