Wither is a status effect that inflicts damage over time. It acts similarly to Poison, save for the fact that it acts slower, can do so against the undead, and can kill on any difficulty level. It also turns the player's health bar black, making their health harder to track.

It can be cured by drinking milk.

The player's hearts turn black (HP👁 ❤️

  1. ↑ In Java Edition the effect is being refreshed every tick, causing it to apply damage at the same rate. Effectively this causes 1 (HP👁 💔
    ) damage every 10 ticks (instead of every 2 seconds) to living entities due to damage immunity while the entity touches the block.
