I though of a Mob that shows his health to use it as a tank, i had 2 choices, the enderdragon and the wither, and obviously the enderdragon is a bad choice, so i chose the wither.
Later, i made him ride an invisible invulnerable zombie following a villager to make his defined path, but i couldn't get him to ride the zombie using an Mcedit filter, i thought it was something wrong with MCedit, so i switched to NBTedit and created the Tag "Riding "with all the required options for an invulnerable zombie, and made a spawner for him.
when i spawned him though, it looked to me as if he was riding the zombie, so i tried to shoot him, but apparently he was only above the zombie, not riding him, i tried spawning another one and the same happened.
Mojang please fix this, i highly depend on Mojang to fix this so my map works .
EDIT: this might seem like a Duplicate but it is not, the other guy tried getting him into minecarts, which is something mojang removed to prevent abusing the wither by spawning him into a minecart and killing him inside it. the code however, prevents him from riding ANY entity even through NBTediting and third party programs.

no offense but the Mods are stupid,
you should READ the whole description and understand it and Compare between the 2 Reports and distinguish the difference between them before saying that one is a duplicate.
This ticket: "Wither cannot ride entities"
That ticket: "Wither cannot ride minecart"
This is a duplicate of MC-9062, and is intended, caused by the fix to MC-8487
I am not a mod and can clearly see that. How is making the wither riding a boat any different from making it ride a minecart?
They are bosses, they shouldn't have to do what the player wants them to do. I say that is reason enough for them not being allowed in minecarts.
You obviously haven't read anything. The requested functionality (making a wither ride a ZOMBIE) was never ever available to players, yet the fix for the exploit available to players axed it.
There is zero reason why a mapmaker cannot make the Wither do whatever the mapmaker wants.
This issue is NOT resolved.
Neospectator please read the description well.
The wither shouldn't be Able to ride entities ingame; i totally agree as that is abuse
The wither shouldn't be Able to ride any entity even when forced; Wrong, when forced the wither MUST ride entities, and i'm not talking about a goddamn boat, which is a proof that you didn't read well, i wanted to force the wither to ride an entity to make ride whatever I want and do whatever I DO in MY MAP, not in my survival.
That is just my opinion as to why it's intended. Regardless, it's still a duplicate and resolved as "Works as Intended", so you need to post a feature request on the forums to change it.
