Description:
Sleek black semi-automatic rifle that fires Withering Rounds, inflicting wither damage and dealing heavy DPS—roughly six direct hits will down a player. Withering Rounds are a craftable ammo item that come in 12-round packs, and the rifle uses a 12-round magazine. The weapon starts empty and must be reloaded with a full 12-round pack (it will not accept partial loads); use the rifle to fire and each shot consumes one round.

Wither Rose Rifle
Quickstart
- Craft Withering Rounds (you'll need at least 12 — one full pack) at a crafting table using an iron ingot and a wither rose.
- Craft the Wither Rose Rifle at a crafting table.
- Hold the rifle in your main hand and use (right-click / tap) to fire. The rifle starts empty, so your first use automatically loads the 12-round pack from your inventory — watch for the [Reloading...] bar, which lasts about 2 seconds.
- After the reload completes, use the rifle to fire. Each press fires one shot. Your current ammo count is shown on your action bar (e.g.
[11/12]).
Overview
The Wither Rose Rifle is a sleek, semi-automatic black rifle that fires hitscan shots infused with wither energy. Each pull of the trigger deals direct damage and applies the Wither effect to the target. It is an uncommon-rarity weapon found in the Equipment tab of your inventory.

Crafting And Obtaining
Wither Rose Rifle
Withering Rounds
Crafted shapeless — combine one iron ingot with one wither rose to receive a 12-round pack.
Abilities And Mechanics
Firing
- Use (right-click / tap the use button) while holding the rifle to fire one round.
- Each shot deals 4 damage and applies Wither I for 3 seconds to the hit entity.
- The wither chip damage means roughly 6 total hits are enough to eliminate a player.
- Shots are hitscan with a range of 32 blocks — no projectile travel time.
Magazine & Ammo
- The rifle holds 12 rounds in its internal magazine.
- The rifle starts empty every time it is picked up or crafted.
- You must have a full 12-round stack of Withering Rounds in your inventory to load it. Partial loads are not accepted.
- When the magazine empties, the rifle automatically attempts to reload if you have rounds available.
- You can also trigger a reload manually by using the rifle while the magazine is empty.
- Reload takes 2 seconds; the action bar shows [Reloading...] during this time.
- If you try to fire or reload without enough rounds, the action bar shows [Need 12 Withering Rounds!] and a bass note plays.
HUD
| Action bar message | Meaning |
|---|
[12/12] (green) | Full magazine, ready to fire |
[X/12] (yellow) | Rounds remaining in current magazine |
[Reloading...] (gray) | Reload in progress — cannot fire |
[Need 12 Withering Rounds!] (red) | Not enough ammo to reload |
Durability & Repair
- The rifle has 192 durability and loses 1 durability per shot (100% damage chance).
- Repair it with iron ingots at an anvil (each ingot restores 32 durability).
- It can be enchanted using bow-type enchantments (enchantability 10).
Progression And Strategy
- Gather wither roses first. These drop from mobs killed by the Wither, so you'll need to summon and defeat one before mass-producing ammo. Each crafting recipe yields exactly 12 rounds, and each iron ingot + wither rose pair creates one pack.
- Stock up before combat. Carry multiples of 12 Withering Rounds (24, 36, etc.) so the rifle can auto-reload mid-fight without interruption.
- Wither chip damage is reliable. Even a glancing engagement that lands a few shots leaves your target losing health from the wither tick, giving you an edge in prolonged fights.
- Maintain your rifle. At 192 durability and one durability lost per shot, a single full magazine set (192 shots = 16 reloads) will fully exhaust the weapon — keep iron ingots on hand and use an anvil between engagements.
- Enchant for longevity. Bow enchantments such as Unbreaking can dramatically extend the rifle's lifespan between repairs.
