MC-78854Wither Spawning Now Requires 2 Air Blocks
Basically, the problem I was having before was that spawning a Wither now requires air blocks on either side of the soul sand where its "tail" should be. So using the following key:
o = skull
s = soul sand
a = air
– = anything
I can say that previously, you could spawn a Wither like this:
o o o
s s s
– s –
And now it only works like this:
o o o
s s s
a s a

Created Issue:
Cannot Spawn Wither Sometimes (Due to Spawn Direction?)
TL;DR: Withers only spawned after several spawn attempts. I was placing the skull last and on Normal difficulty with no mods installed. DO NOT LABEL THIS AS A DUPE OF THE OTHER ISSUE, since that was a mistake on the part of the player and not a bug.
-----------------------
I did some skull farming in my survival world today and got enough to spawn two Withers. I ran down to the mines and tried to spawn one, but it didn't work. I checked that I was placing the skull last, that I was on normal difficulty, and that I wasn't holding Shift while placing the skulls, and it still didn't work. I relaunched the game an hour or so later and resumed trying to spawn it by standing in different positions while placing the skulls and spawning it facing different directions. It still refused to work, until suddenly it... worked. I killed it and spawned the next one in a different area (again, after some failures and after playing around with its spawn direction; when it finally did spawn, it was facing a different direction than the last one had been). The fight was more difficult since it lured be out of my beacons' ranges momentarily, but I pearled back in and emerged the victor.
I'd had the issue happen to me before back in a 1.4.5 creative world, but when it happened I assumed it was a one-time thing and didn't make an issue for it.
