Wither Wart

Wither Wart is the durable plant gained from crafting two Wither Essence with a Nether Wart. Unlike all other plants, it takes time to mine. Without tools, it takes 3 seconds to mine and drops 2-5 of its seeds. With any normal tool (including the regular Hoe, which doesn't lose durability but mines this faster than hand), it takes 1 second to mine and drops 3-5 of its seeds. With the Chainsaw, it takes 0.4 seconds to mine and drops 3-5 of its seeds. The Drill and Diamond Drill take 0.5 seconds to mine this, but they make it always drop 4 of its seeds. Attempting to break it with a Treetap or Electric Treetap takes as long as with bare hands but enables it to drop 2-6 seeds without any damage to the Treetap or any loss of EU. Using the Wrench or Electric Wrench breaks it instantly, but it will only drop 3 of its seeds. Luckily the same rule applies to these as it does with the Treetap and its EU-powered version, as they refuse to take damage from this. The Mining Laser, on any mode, will break this with its laser, but it will still lose EU and this will only drop 2 of its seeds. The Nano Saber, even if it is off, will break this in 0.2 seconds and it will drop 4 of its seeds. The Cutter and the Shears, despite not being built for destroying plants, will instantly break this and make it drop 3-6 of its seeds, although the Shears will take 1 damage from the effort. You can extract 16 Wither Essence from this. It can only be planted on Soul Sand and grows at half the rate of the Nether Wart. It can be used to make various Potions.
