After the aquatic update in Minecraft, I started a new world to get the most of the new things in the ocean. I tried to finish the game and kill the wither in my way. I could not kill the wither because after he killed me for the first time, his health bar disappeared. it did not matter how much I hit him. Every time I start the game again, his health bar will show up but it will disappear again after I die for the first time. I tried so many things but it did not work.
I forgot the whole thing till I bought a new xbox one x. I downloaded the game and tried to kill the wither but the same thing happened again. the health bar is not visible and he is not dying. I risked my world by turning it to creative to kill it but it still did not die. It did not matter how much I hit him and the health bar was not there.
so is it a part of the game now that if the wither kill you once you cannot kill him or what?

I too have had issues with an immortal wither, however this sorted itself after a while, when the wither had regened above half health and I already died a couple of times
I can attest that this is still an issue. I've been trying for the better half of a day to fight the wither and every time I die the only option is reloading a copy of the world because it no longer has a health bar.
I am having this same issue on my all survival world.. When the Wither killed me and I respawned back, I attempted to kill it afterwards but the health bar disappeared so I am unsure of exactly how much health is left.. I've been fighting him all day and died five times. At this point, I honestly believe it's immortal, considering that when I died the first time, it was at half health.
Please fix this!
Same problem except it followed me back to my main base a destroyed countless hours of work a resources I’m furious it’s been hours now and I think I’m just gonna quit and ask for my money back
Confirm in 1.11.4, but at least isn't inmortal... but if you die in phase 2 of the fight, health bar will disappear and wither boss will become invisible... and once is invisible you can't kill him.
The only way to fix this is turn your game to "Easy", then Save and exit, Load your save, kill the wither (each time you load the game boss will be visible and health bar too) and problem solved. You don't need to switch to creative and ruin your achievements unlocking.
For next withers I will do the same, test it if bug is fixed in a new crative world, if it works i'll kill him in hard and if it's still completely buged I just kill him in easy mode.
Thank you for your report!
