 Description   

The Wither does not spawn when the Soul Sand block at the bottom is placed last. It doesn't matter if you do it by hand, or use a piston. If you remove and replace one of the heads it will spawn.

It is happening to me on 1.16 snapshot 20w21a, and i am not on peaceful mode. (If you are on peaceful mode, and you sucessfully summon the wither, you will see a blink for less than a second and then it will despawn.)

Comment by Alexander Felix [ 01/Aug/14 ]

No hostile mobs except for the Ender Dragon spawn in peaceful mode. You are in peaceful mode.

Just FYI a slight change to this in the upcoming update.

Update: 1.8
Dispensers
Can now place pumpkins or Wither Skeleton Skulls to spawn golems and withers respectively

Are you in peaceful mode? Non of hostile mobs will Spawn in peaceful. Be carfully when try to report na issue!

Comment by Howzieky [ 19/Dec/12 ]

You cannot be on peaceful mode

Comment by Tails [ 19/Dec/12 ]

You sir are on peacefull!

Comment by Anon Ymus [ 19/Dec/12 ]

I have the same result as Kumasasa.

Comment by Kumasasa [ 19/Dec/12 ]

Building a Wither the correct way works in 1.4.6

Comment by Rob Klein Ikink [ 24/Nov/12 ]

How sad...
Thanks for the help though.

Comment by Kumasasa [ 24/Nov/12 ]

Correct. None of them. All three buildable mobs have to be build by the player.

Comment by Rob Klein Ikink [ 24/Nov/12 ]

Does that mean you can't spawn one using pistons?

Comment by Kumasasa [ 24/Nov/12 ]

The rule for all buildable mobs is : Build from bottom to top, this applies too for the Snow Golem and the Iron Golem, see http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Wither
