Wither skulls?

My spawners never spawn wither skeletons in the nether anymore; is it possible to get wither skulls now?

 

Wither Skeletons do not spawn from normal skeleton spawners (even in the Nether) as of version 1.11. That's your entire issue.

 

@CluelessKlutz OK I was worried about that

@Vexena Agree, I think that should work. That's was my Plan B (Plan Z?) I was hoping I could avoid gridding my entire nether in 16x16 grids every 16 steps up and down to see if I have a nether fortress in my space

Thank you!

 

This will not work as you will need to have a nether fortress chunk which doesn't really generate in the nether that we currently have. I do however have wither skelly grinder and can give you some skulls. send me a mail in game or msg me when you see me on.

 

OK will do

But even though the fortresses themselves don't generate, the *location* of fortresses still work. I.e. in the original (single player) skyblock I build my own nether fortress and my own witch hut to farm those, and since they were in the right place, the withers, blazes and witches spawned there because that's what the location was.

It was easier to find the witch hut and nether fortress locations because I had the world key and I could spawn the regular world with that key and find them. But I might be able to find a nether fortress *location* by building a gigantic matrix of grids. Although I probably wouldn't

But I will look for you & see about your wither grinder! That would be awesome and much appreciated!
