I. How To Get Wither Rose

Wither Rose is a rare ingredient that is not available to pick in the wild like most flowers. There are four steps to get a wither rose in Minecraft.

#1. Gather ingredients

Firstly, you have to gather two ingredients to summon Wither, including:

  • Wither skeleton skulls x3;
  • Soul sand blocks x4.

You need to find and collect these sandblocks in the Nether and ancient cities. Besides, the Nether Fortress is the only place where you can farm Wither Skeleton Skulls.
