Hi! My son (8y/o) has been working on his world for several months. And then he thought it would be a good idea to spawn the wither, totally unprepared...
As soon as it spawned it started to demolish his world. He's panicking right now and has no idea how to save all he has created.
As a noob I helped him reading on how to defeat the wither, but he is way to scared to start te game again and see how the wither keeps on demolishing while he would try to defeat it.
What else can we do?
My son is wondering if it would work to restart the game, push Y and choose to play in survival peaceful mode, and then later choose to play in creative normal mode again. Would that strategy work to make the wither dissapear?
Or is there another way? Can you lure the wither so you can defeat it somewhere where you didn't built anything?

Thanks alot in advance!
You can despawn the Wither by switching your difficulty (Not gamemode) from what it is currently on to Peaceful Difficulty, going back into the game where the Wither was, which will despawn it as soon as the Chunk where it was is loaded, then set the Difficulty back to what you had it on.
I would also recommend keeping backup copies of his world as well incase this happens again.
As Chaptmc says above, switch his game to peaceful mode, then back to regular mode as soon as you load in, this will despawn the wither. If it is a creative world, switch to survival, then peaceful, then back to whichever mode he is playing in providing cheats are enabled. If cheats are not enabled, then possibly you will have to deal with the wither or indeed start another world.
If he spawned it in survival, kudos to him because getting three wither skulls is not an easy task!.
He's not alone, I remember doing this back in the day lol.
He can also make a creative world (make sure cheats are enabled) and he can play around with defeating withers and working out the best strats.
