20gt HT-optimized Wither Cage - Ragokyo - 08-01-2025

I've been meaning to make a tutorial on how to set up these cages about more than a year ago, but being the champion of sidetracking, I have only got around to doing it now. This has about 5x10x6 footprint, and uses only two important entities: a snow golem and a Wither. It is possible to eliminate the snow golem and have a 20gt clocked dispenser firing at the Wither instead, but this requires a constant supply of snowballs.

Because of Hometown's GriefPrevention plugin, the snow golem can be built in any biome (they will not melt) and protected using the ProtectNamedMobs claimflag.

Pros:
  • Very small (significantly smaller and cheaper than vanilla Wither cages!).
  • Easy to set up.
  • Processes 43.2k blocks per hour.
  • Modular.
Cons:
  • Noisy (this can be circumvented by lowering the volume of Hostile entities in the volume mixer).
  • Extremely rarely, the Wither can escape (toggling /claimexplosions prevents the Wither from escaping its cage entirely, and you can reset the Wither's position without killing it by pushing the walls).
