About
The Nether Star is a valuable drop from defeating the Wither boss. It serves as the core ingredient for crafting beacons, which provide powerful status effects to players in their effect radius. Because beacons are expensive endgame utilities on most servers, Nether Stars are prized resources.
Admins typically hand out Nether Stars to speed up beacon construction during server setup or to reward players on survival servers. The item stacks to 64, making bulk distribution straightforward. Use the give command with your target selector and desired quantity to add them to a player's inventory.
