A wither skeleton skull is the head of a wither skeleton in the form of a block, which is a rare drop from killed wither skeletons. Three of them can be used to summon a wither, a destructive boss mob that is the only source of Nether stars.

Wither skeleton skull drops itself when it's destroyed. When destroyed by an explosion, the wither skeleton skull always drops as an item.

Mob loot

A wither skeleton has a 2.5% chance of dropping a wither skeleton skull when killed by a player or a tamed wolf. In Java Edition, the chance is increased by 1% per level of Looting, for a maximum of 5.5% with Looting III. In Bedrock Edition, the chance is increased by 2% per level of Looting, for a maximum of 8.5% with Looting III.

A wither skeleton always drops a wither skeleton skull if it dies from a charged creeper's explosion. In Bedrock Edition, if multiple mobs are killed by the same charged creeper, all of them drop their heads;[2] in Java Edition, only one mob selected at random drops its head.[3]

Usage

Decoration

Wither skeleton skulls can be oriented in 16 different directions on top of a block, and 4 directions on the sides of blocks, similar to signs. They can be placed on top of or beside each other by shift clicking.

Wearing

See also:  § Gallery

The player can wear wither skeleton skulls, similarly to pumpkins or helmets. This overlays the second layer of the player's skin.

Disguise

Unlike some other heads and skulls, wearing a wither skeleton skull does not reduce the detection range for wither skeletons.

In Bedrock Edition, wearing a wither skeleton skull makes the player invisible to other players on a locator map.

Locator bar

Like all other mob heads, a wither skeleton skull can be worn by a player to hide their location, as it will prevent other players from finding them using the locator bar.

Withers

Wither build configuration

Withers can be spawned by placing soul sand or soul soil in a T shape and placing 3 wither skeleton skulls on top of the T. The T can be horizontal or vertical, and the last block placed must be one of the three wither skeleton skulls. A dispenser can also create a wither by placing the final wither skeleton skull onto soul sand directly in front of and below it.

Dispensers

A dispenser can equip a wither skeleton skull on a player, mob, or armor stand with an empty helmet slot, within the block the dispenser is facing.

The dispenser can also complete the construction of a wither by placing wither skeleton skulls unless the difficulty is set to peaceful.

Enchantments

Wither skeleton skulls can receive the following enchantments, but only through an anvil.

Name Max level Method
Curse of Binding I Anvil
Curse of Vanishing I Anvil

Note blocks

Placing a wither skeleton skull above a note block causes the note block to play the wither skeleton's ambient sound when activated.

The block below the note block does not affect the mob sound it creates.

Piston interactivity

Wither skeleton skulls are destroyed when pushed by a piston and cannot be pulled by a sticky piston.

Sounds

Generic

Wither skeleton skulls use stone-like sounds, unlike the bone sounds used by bone blocks. Mojang have stated that this is not a valid discrepancy to address.[4]
