Daddy wants a buff pyramid but has to summon and best the tri-headed block monster first.
Yes, if you do the following first:
1) Find a suitable location for the fight (i.e. very far away from any occupied lands and preferably a boring biome (desert plains?).
2) Build at least one correctly linked portal in the center of the biome, but deep underground.
This allows you to return to the scene of the fight if you die, without luring the wither closer to where-ever you came from (when the wither has nothing to shoot, it sits still). Building it deep underground with a ladder to the surface lowers the chance the wither will destroy the portal (but doesn't guarantee it).
3) Let me know the coords of your chosen location.
4) Let me know when you're going to fight it so I can watch and laugh (and possibly record it too).
If you are unable to defeat the Wither, I will not destroy it, I'll just ensure it remains lured in that biome and others can try their luck at getting the star. Of course if someone does lure it away too close to occupied lands, I will destroy it and no-one gets the star.
What if we make it a community event and we spawn two or more then Dark thinks about throwing out extra stars to minimize world damage? Just throwing the idea out there, we provide the skulls for it all.
You should put bedrock around the area so he can't escape. and a portal to get there. We need a team of the best of the best.
Thank fully I have a chicken farm for arrows. I have 1k feathers waiting for use! Anyone want any!
From whom are unforgiven we bring the mercy of war.
I'd say this first one is up to Ma55terfett, as he may want to fight it on his own.
Then after that if "teams" want to provide skulls and fight the Wither, they can do so too.
I had a thought that if you want to minimise world damage, fight it in a shallow swamp. The water wiould mitigate most damage, but would slow you down of course too.
As long as a suitable location is selected, there's no need for a bedrock container. Makes it a better challenge if you can't pin the Wither against a wall. If I did need to stop the Wither, I can just make a small 5x5 bedrock wall and stand between it and the Wither in creative mode and kill off the Wither. The bedrock wall behind me would help stop destruction of the surrounding world. (In theory anyway)

only problem is that he can even destroy obsidian.... Which is crazy.
So he needs to find somewhere very far removed from society in order to do it.

That's what I thought until I went on creative to find out what happens if you make an obsidian arena, and put mob spawners in the ground beneath for some sort of cage match.
The Wither spawned, blasted the arena to bits, and escaped.
I also discovered that the only mob really capable of fighting back against a Wither (without resorting to penning the Wither in) is a Blaze; they're the only mobs that can fly, have a ranged attack, and can take more than 1 direct hit from a Wither projectile. Skeletons don't survive the first hit and Ghasts aren't aggroed by them; all the rest have no ability to fight back against a Wither, either because they lack ranged weapons or because they can't take more than 1 hit. Yet to try out SNowmen, but I doubt they could do much.
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

No, the projectiles destroy Obsidian. The only things they don't destroy is Air, End-Portals and Bedrock.

Hey, remember that we're not really planning on using Booster tracks. So Gold's not as big an issue. (the booster tracks really, really mess up the cohesion of the 'train', and just plain don't work right with furnace carts.)
Now, if the next new update has a way to link carts together, then we'll be able to use Booster rails. But for now, save the gold.
