Other than dropping nether stars, withers don't really have much of a use. If that's
the case, then let's give the poor guy some. Here is my idea for the wither.
Withershelf
When killing a wither or a wither skeleton they drop withershelf (1 - 4). It looks like a piece of meat from a wither mob.
Withershelf can be used for three things.
They: Are edible. When eaten they give half a hunger point but gives you the wither (effect) for 5 seconds.
They: Can be put in a brewing stand. That makes a potion that gives wither for 10 seconds. Put that potion in the brewing stand again with blaze powder and it makes "Anti-wither". This is a medicine for wither.
They: Can be crafted into a block. It's called witherblock. It's just a building block really. It's crafted with 4
withershelf.
That was my idea. I hope you liked it, and be sure to vote in the poll.
I don't have a banner for this, so could someone make one? Thanks!
I can awnser EVERY single thing here.
Q: What does a piece of wither look like? A: Like a piece of meat of the wither.
Q: That will just kill you! A: I know. It's used for attacking, not drinking.
Q: Should be fermented spider eye A: Why? It makes more sence to go to the nether for a skull AND blaze powder.
Q: So i have to kill 4 withers to get one block... A: No, a wither mob drops 1-4 of it.
Q: People have to like the idea before they make a banner. A: That's the point! I'm asking someone to make a banner IF they like my idea.
I basically agree with Stephen42lol on all points, as well as Anokis. It should not be a flesh item. It could still do the same things as you said, but the flesh part makes no sense. Beyond that, Spider Eye is for corrupting potion effects, so it should be used. That's how the potion system works. Glowstone and Redstone and Spider Eye all have specific effects on potions and it should stay that way for consistency.
Finally, I really don't like the fact that I need to kill 114 Wither Skeletons to make a simple 5x5x4 house with a roof and a Door. (First two layers require 15 blocks, the third requires 16 and the roof takes 25. That's 71 Blocks, or 284 Withershelf. Considering the average drop is 2.5 Withershelf it means 114 Wither Skeletons). That might work if they became more common or spawned outside of fortresses, but as of right now, no thanks.

I get it but think about it. Building a house completley out of obsidian is pretty much the same idea.

You need to redo a lot of stuff,so it be good.
