Title: Wither boss
Post by: rytovius on October 29, 2012, 10:12:45 pm
As most of you know, wither bosses drop nether stars when killed (nether stars make beacons (http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Beacon)). In order to make a wither boss you must get 3 wither skeleton heads, which takes an incredabley long time. I would like to save my time and others time and ask, if spawning withers allowed? If spawning is not allowed, I believe we should sell the nether star at the market.

Wither can't be spawned for obvious reasons.
We are discussing the possibility of putting some 1.4 items on market.

I think nether stars are a necessity, as spawning the Wither (I hope) is disabled. This makes the nether stars impossible to obtain.

I did some tests and found that the beacon's have an effect on everyone that comes in range of it, and not just the person that built it or activates an effect. imo it would be worth changing that, as people in your area can just take use of your beacon without having to pay for anything.

If they are in my area I really wouldn't mind if they used my beacon as I am not losing anything. Now I am wondering if you can lock beacons with the lwc plugin? This could become a problem, people going into beacons and changing the power.

If you didnt want ppl using it, just move a block from it, it would deactivate it.

there is a con in moving an outside block. If you move out an push out a showing block, it can make people place a block back. BUT, if you move out all from the insides, then you can make others think that it's in use. But tricks them, and you dont have to worry. Or just move out the block on the bottom and reactivate it with a redstone torch. When not in use, take it out. You can protect the area.

we'll just have to wait until lwc updates.

I think we would have to sell the nether star but I would not like such a high price since it would be free if you put enough time in. I wouldn't want it to be much more than 5k to 10k but it's not really up to me.

Like I said, nether stars I think absolutely must be in the market because the Wither is disabled, making it impossible to get Nether Stars.

I'm just gonna restate what Snape said. Whithers can't be spawned for obvious reasons and therefore won't be spawned. Thus nether stars are impossible to obtain.

However I would like to add that this item is supposed to be rare, and not some item you get willy nilly. I think this item should be somewhere in the range of 90K to 100K so few can get it, and so few of them can be bought per person. I also think it should only be buyable and not sellable from the market.

Maybe 60k-80k and buyable only, like Chief said.

I think it should be around 150k range because the nether star Is super Rare.

I think it should be around 150k range because the nether star Is super Rare.

Maybe we should make it a voting reward, diamonds Are (supposed to be) rare also. But I really don't think it should be so much, the most money I ever had was 140k and that was with the melons at market so I don't think many people would pay that much for something the could get for free, unless you count time as money :P

Nether Stars as a voting reward? In your dreams...

Beacons would be popping up everywhere at that point...

I was joking about the voting reward, that would be crazy :o but 150k is way to much in my opinion I think it should be affordable, but not a giveaway price.

They should probably be around 10K, because I spawned a wither in single player survival, and it wasn't that hard actually.

80k

I definitely think nether stars should be obtainable.
Personally, I'd prefer to see the creation of a Wither arena.  Perhaps contained within a solid cube of bedrock somewhere in TheEnd.

Not sure how arena access and spawning would work though...
I suppose there could be a sign in the market  - 5k for a teleport to the arena.
Perhaps another sign in the arena that would spawn a wither for 10k.

Of course, there would have to be informational signs suggesting that users Not teleport/summon unless they have enough credits banked for a return trip(in case they are killed).
And it would be necessary to prevent people from setting homes within the arena.

Might be better to have the teleport sign in one of the buildings near the market and setup a line of informational signs users would have to walk past  - like at the spawn.  That way people couldn't really complain if they got killed by wither and didn't have enough credits banked to return to the arena.

It shouldn't be priced 5k to teleport to the arena when you would die repeatedly. The Wither is challenging enough so it should be cheap or free to enter the arena.

I already suggested an arena, not going to happen:
