Hardcore Wither Mod 1.10.2, 1.8.9 makes the Wither get more difficult the more Withers you’ve faced. The more Withers you fight, the harder the fight gets, and the sweeter the rewards. Withers spawned around you get increasingly difficult special abilities. If a Wither is spawned with multiple players around, all of their experience with Withers is taken into account. There are several special abilities (boosted health) most of which are intended to be discovered the hard way. All abilities can be disabled/adjusted in configs. Each ability also can be configured to be Blacklisted from use on a per-Dimension basis if it does play well there. If you play with Runic Dungeons please disable the Teleport ability in the runic dungeons Dimension e.g. S:blacklistDims=”34″.

Features:
- The Wither’s difficulty increases with every fight.
- Gives the Wither special abilities, like boosted health.
- Allows the Looting enchantment to work on Nether Stars at a configurable rate.
- Provides a way to get Green Heart Canisters if Tinkers’ Construct is also installed.
- All new abilities can be adjusted or turned off in the config files.
- You can blacklist abilities to stop them from working in certain dimensions.
Configuration:
This mod’s features can be changed in the configuration files. You can disable or adjust each special ability. You can also blacklist abilities on a per-dimension basis if they cause problems with other mods. For example, the source suggests blacklisting the Teleport ability in the Runic Dungeons dimension by setting S:blacklistDims="34".
