    It just came to my attention that spawning the Wither in the Overworld causes the fog effect (which is normally white) to change tint, becoming more of a dark red. I haven't been able to find much information on it, but I'd like to know two things: 1) is this change handled by the client or the server, and 2) if it's handled by the server, has anyone figured out how to force it to change without actually spawning the boss?

    I'm guessing it is handled client side, but you may be able to make a fake wither class and spawn it.

    Hm, didn't think of that. Still, wouldn't that force the client to display the "Boss" bar, or is that handled server-side (I've never had the chance to play around with it before)?

    You may want to investigate the source code for BarAPI if you're trying to get the Wither without the boss health meter.

    Edit: Minecraft wiki claims that you can only see the Wither health bar if you are facing towards it. This may give you an opportunity to avoid the health bar being displayed if you, for example, spawn a fake client-side Wither several hundred blocks into the void.
