I know there are lots of ideas out there for the newest boss, the Wither, that Mojang will update to Minecraft eventually, but I wanted to share my ideas and hear any other ideas that you people may have that could contribute to mine.
I thought of a mysterious temple or whatever made of Bedrock and Obsidian (maybe it's found in swamps?). The door to get inside is just a two by two space which opens up once you step on a stone pressure plate in front of the doorway. This makes four sticky pistons pull away Bedrock, opening the way inside. It is impossible to reach the pistons because Bedrock surrounds them. Once you go inside, the pistons close making it impossible to leave. The inside is completely dark and whenever you place a torch it doesn't work, same with glowstone. There's traps and whatnot (of course) inside the temple. You go through all the trouble, dodging traps, hostile mobs and such just to find some sort of Obsidian lever. Once it's hit it opens the door at the beginning so you can leave. You think it the trip was a waste of time. Later on you leave the temple and go back to your house. Until you sleep, a creepy face flashes on your screen randomly from time to time. Once you go to sleep, (if it's nighttime) you wake up in a very dark dimension made of Bedrock with Obsidian (like the temple) and the ground produces gas or smog like the void, making it harder to see. Then you realize that you're in a giant arena and then fire lights up a black creature, the Wither. It's sitting on what looks like a throne above the arena walls, staring at you. Once you look at it, a brand new mob (maybe called a Wist) appears and you have to fight for your life. They attack some what like the Wither except they can't eat blocks and they don't shoot skulls. Instead they run up to you and open their mouth and slowly suck out your life, regaining any of their lost health. Your lose half a heart every 3 seconds. Wists are very weak having 2 or 3 hearts. Once you've fought your way through all of the creatures, you hear a deafening screech (like a banshee) coming from the Wither which slightly shakes your screen. The Wither then floats down and the Boss Health meter appears, starting the fight. As many of you know it attacks by shooting skulls and whatnot, draining your health and regaining its. Once you've killed it (if you could) it does a special death cinematic like the Ender Dragon. It's drops an item called Soul Capsule and in the middle of the arena an odd Bedrock block with an insert on the top of it spawns. There is also an Ender Chest next to the insert where you can receive some of the best loot possible. You have to right click the insert and it places the Soul Capsule in the slot. The Soul Capsule must first be in your inventory for this to happen. Once this is done a portal appears under where the Wither was sitting. The portal is black (kinda like the End Portal) with bits of red and other dark colors. Its frame is circular and it's made out of Bed Rock. Once you enter the portal, if you wish, you spawn at the side of your bed, realizing it was a deadly real life nightmare that could harm you.
I've thought of naming this dimension maybe, The Nightmare Dimension (just an idea).
Hope you guys like my ideas. Send in any ideas that you people may have.
pistons cant move bedrock, and the game cant really tell when your in a certain area. things like this wouldnt work in a sandbox game. i like the boss battle, but there should be no cut-scenes. sounds cool.
Here's my idea. I think when you sleep, there's a 1 in a 10,000 chance you will be teleported to a void/bedrock dimension. You battle the wither, and when you kill it, you wake up from your bed. So it's like a nightmare.
Does it have to live in a temple? Why can't it just live in a withered garden of eden of sorts in the sky? That'd be more creative than "derp, here's a boss. there's a cursed temple that triggers the fight the night you leave it."

Did something happen to you in your childhood to give you this unreasonable fear of rutabaga?
I don't like ideas where it includings screams, creepy faces on the screen, cursed temples, and having to sleep.

I hate people who complain. I hate spiders. I hate people who own an Xbox One. I hate people who like sandbox games. I hate people who like first person shooters. I hate people who like explosions. I hate people who like video games. I hate people who are hateful. I hate people that don't like spam. I hate people who like cake. I hate people who type in proper grammar and spell words properly on the internet. I hate hypocrites.

Here's my idea. Make a Wither Mob Spawner, but edit it so it can only spawn one Wither (or, rather, code it so it'll only spawn when in a certain radius of it's "spawn location,") and put it in what's called the Dirt Room in Abandoned Mineshafts. Y'know, those giant cavernous rooms where the floor is all dirt (called the "Starting Point" on the wiki)? Those rooms have always been so lonely, and they also seem like a perfect place to fight a little miniboss of sorts. That or they make new "temples," similarly to the Sand/Jungle Temples, where they spawn (much like the OP said, just not as complicated, lol.).
So yeah, lol. Those are my thoughts on this subject.

Yeah forgot about that. I don't think I mentioned a cut-scene but I guess the way I worded it could have made it sound like I meant for there to be one. Thanks for the tips though.

That would be cool, but it would make the battle all the more difficult because what if you only have hardly any items or food. And then there's the possible fact that you could be transported there and have just started a new world. Nice idea though.

True, temples are pretty lame. The withered garden idea sounds cool though.

Yeah, maybe it is too complicated. Thanks for the pointers.
Thanks man.
