Wither Skeleton Skull block in Minecraft

Present since 1.4.2 or earlier Stack size: 64 In 2 tutorials ↓

The Wither Skeleton Skull drops rarely from wither skeletons killed by a player, or from a charged creeper's blast; three of them on a T of Soul Sand summon the Wither. Mob heads are decorative blocks you can place on the ground or a wall, or wear on your own head. All mob heads work the same; the Creeper Head page explains them.
