Wither Skeleton Skull

Wither Skeleton Skull is an item in Minecraft. It is used to make Skull Charge Banner Pattern.

Wither Skeleton Skulls are obtained by killing wither skeletons, which spawn in Nether fortresses. They have a 2.5% drop rate, which can be increased with the Looting enchantment, up to 5.5% with Looting III.

Wither Skeleton Skulls are primarily used to summon the Wither boss, requiring three skulls placed on soul sand or soul soil. They can also be worn as a helmet for decoration and placed on a note block to produce a wither skeleton sound when activated.
