Welcome. Today, I show you an idea I was thinking of. Wither enchanted swords! Yes, it would only work on swords. It wouldn't make much sense to "Wither something or someone to death" with arrows, now would it? Ok, first off, I know these ideas have been suggested before, but these are MY thoughts on how it would work if implemented in Minecraft. Secondly, I don't think its redundant. There are many effects in the game you can use (except mining fatigue, nausea, blindness and hunger). Btw, I know I did not mention water breathing there, because as of 1.6, the Respiration enchantment will help see underwater. But, not help breathe underwater. But Wither HAS to be added. Lastly, I respect negative feedback towards the idea. But I would be highly offended by any negative feedback towards me. I have soft feelings, I get depressed when someone shows hatred towards me. Ok, now lets start.
Read this if you are new to Minecraft
Wither (What is it?!)
Well, for those of you who are new or newer to Minecraft, the "Wither" is a negative attack status currently only used by the Wither Skeleton, and the Wither Boss. If you have been poisoned by a Witch or a Cave Spider, then you should know that its basically the same thing, only more dangerous because it changes your hearts to black, and it can kill you. If you get "Withered", you can cure yourself with milk. Better do it quick though, if your too late, you will die and a death message will come up saying "You withered away."
What's the Wither Enchantment Book?
Thats pretty self explanatory: An enchantment book that gives any sword the Wither effect. Wood, Stone, Gold, or Diamond swords. When you attack an entity with any sword that has the enchantment, the entity will face the wither effect for 5 seconds.
Doesn't it sound a little over-powered?
Yes, it sort of does. But do not worry, they are rare to find. Rarer than Silk Touch.
Where can I find it?
As I said, they are rare. Very rare. They are so rare, they are rarer than diamond. Well, enough with how rare they are. And since 1.6 is adding the "Chest Generation" to Nether Foretress's, Wither Enchantment Books can only be found there (if your lucky enough to find it.).
What are the levels of the Wither Enchantment?
There will only be "Wither I Enchantment Book." Why not Wither II you ask? Well, the answer is simple: TOO OP. The Wither I Enchantment is powerful enough. Only the Wither Boss can use Wither II.
Are you making this up?
Yes. None of this is real. I took the time to expand my creativity on this idea so I could share this post with everyone for their thoughts and reactions on it.
How to say "Thank you"if I enjoyed it?
Just share it with your friends, and give it a bump. Well, thats the end of this post. Please vote!
You see, I have very mixed reactions with this. Part of me really likes the idea, but part of me feels it isn't that great of an idea.
It is somewhat balanced that the book is very rare and only found in Nether Forts, but the Wither effect itself is a very powerful effect. Even Wither I is incredibly powerful, because you can just keep hitting a mob or player with the sword and the effect will stay on them continously, despite it being only 2 or 3 seconds long.

I'm going to have to say no to this.
Yea, you have a point there. I guess there should be some restrictions, but it really doesn't matter. This is never going to actullay make it. I can't wait to see what enchantments Jeb has planned in the future, though.
Rather than a book, I would rather like to see potions being usable on cauldrons, and then one would be able to dip whatever item they wanted into it. I wouldn't mind if wither I potions were added to nether fortresses; so long as they are only obtainable that way. So if this is to be the only potion effect that can be applied to weapons, then an enchantment would be fine.

The only ways I know that you can obtain the Wither effect is by /effect 20, and on the toomanyitems mod where you can make a custom potion.

This also is not OP, just a bit more powerfull than fire ascept

Holy ship, I had this exact same idea.
