Still just looks like netherrack. I don't know why you people keep interpreting it as an entirely new block, because it clearly isn't. Bridges are new. Netherrack is not.
Look closely at the block. It's a different shade and a different texture from the surrounding landscape. It is what appears to be a brick made from netherrack.

Then fight him underground, where you have the advantage. He's three blocks tall, so build a long corridor put beams over your head so that he has to stop and eat them before he can continue to pursue you. Have iron golems ready for a steady stream of damage. Regeneration potions, golden apples, eat whatever you need to survive. When it comes time to hit him have a sword enchanted with Smite to do extra damage to him. This is all in theory of course, but it's certainly possible to kill this guy. Which is good enough for me.
You can't build a pyramid of power since one of the ingredients for it (a nether star) only drops from the Wither.

Also, at half health he becomes invincible to arrows.

Nobody said he's easy. We're arguing that we are happy with the difficulty of the boss and don't mind a challenge, while providing options for how you can deal with the Wither's abilities.

Don't get hit, they only poison you on direct hits.

You kids and your attitude of "if it's too hard I'll complain to the developers so they make it easier" is hurting the video games industry. If something is hard, then try a little so that you can brag to your friends about it later.
So no, the Wither is not too hard. You're just a bunch of scrubs.

It was just an example

Since the nether isn't loaded unless you are in it, any changes to blocks (such as the changing of redstone from the off state to the on state) wouldn't occur until you entered the area. So you wouldn't be able to say, run away from a horde of zombie pigmen into a nether portal and flip a switch to detonate tnt on the other side so that they couldn't follow you, unfortunately.

And I am in support of more biome-specific mobs besides the mooshroom and ocelots. Wouldn't mind seeing a moose in my taigas.
