Wither Summoning Codes
Java: /summon minecraft:wither Open up the chat bar and type in /summon minecraft:wither to spawn the Wither at your location.
Bedrock: /summon wither Pull up the chat bar and enter /summon wither to spawn the Wither nearby automatically. Important note: The Wither is a hostile mob and cannot be summoned in any Java or Bedrock worlds set to Peaceful. If you’re having trouble summoning it, double-check your world settings.
How to Spawn a Wither Naturally
Collect 3 Wither skeleton skulls and 4 soul sand blocks from the Nether. Head to the Nether and find a Nether Fortress, an extensive brick structure where Wither skeletons spawn. Fight and defeat enough Wither skeletons to collect 3 of their heads. Then, collect at least 4 blocks of soul sand from a nether waste region, soul sand valley, nether fortress, or other part of the realm. Nether waste areas are your best bet for finding soul sand—they’re common areas that appear all over the Nether. You may have to dig underground a bit to find some soul sand, though (beneath Y=34, if you have your coordinates pulled up).
Return to the overworld. Go back to your Nether portal so you teleport back to your original location.
Stack the soul sand blocks in a “T” shape. Place 2 soul sand blocks on top of one another. Then, stick 2 more blocks on the left and right sides of the upper block you’ve already set down. This creates a capital “T” shape. It's important to create the frame before adding the skulls, since the last block you place must be a skull for the Wither to spawn.
Place 3 Wither skeleton skulls on top of the 3 soul sand blocks. Make sure the three wither skeleton skulls are on top of the T-shaped frame. Once you’ve placed the last skull, the Wither will spawn. The Wither takes a few seconds to fully spawn in your world, where it will then create a huge, powerful explosion. Be sure to keep your distance!
Fight the Wither to get a Nether Star. Killing the Wither is no easy feat—it has anywhere from 300 to 600 total health (depending on the difficulty you chose) and can do damaging attacks that apply the Wither status effect (which depletes your health like a poison). Once you’ve defeated it, though, you’ll receive a Nether Star, which can be used to craft a beacon. Beacons are helpful tools that can be used to generate helpful status effects.
