Wither Skeleton Farm

A wither skeleton farm with a fortress-style spawning platform on its own nether island. Wither skeletons only spawn inside a nether fortress, so build the real farm in one: the island of netherrack, soul sand, magma and small lava pools is the look. The roofed platform of nether bricks and red nether bricks has glass walls, three blocks of headroom under a slab roof, hanging lanterns and wither roses in soul sand planters. The skeletons walk onto four open trapdoors over a hole in the middle, drop down a shaft onto hoppers and show their feet through a slot: stand on the kill spot and hit them with a Looting sword for skulls, coal and bones. The hoppers fill a double chest at the back.
