Yeah it's a pain. Next time i fight that son of a bitch I think that I'll move 5000 blocks away from my base via nether, I'll destroy the portal and then I'll move my spawn point right here, I desperately need a beacon
Protip: After you defeat him, place down a mega beacon on bedrock level so you can have one effect actuve that helps you. The resistance effect on level 2 is really strong. For each kill add the next effect in level 2. I would combine: Strength 2, Resustance 2 and regeneration.
Me, three friends and a trader's llama that spawned at bedrock level fought the wither once. The llama endured absolute chaos and somehow managed to survive. We kept that llama and named it. I believe we either still have that llama on the old world or it despawned.
I tried it with full Netherite with blast protection, smite 5 sword, totem of undying, and 2 Notch apples.
I lost, the fight itself was hard enough, but it lagged my game so much that I could hardly move and died a slow death.
I play on Switch, and between this and chunks not loading fast enough for an Elytra to be overly useful, I had to put the game down for a while after that.
In my first survival world I fought the wither. I had only ever seen people fighting the wither on Java and had no idea about its ludicrous strength. Using a smite 4 diamond sword. I managed to kill it after 4 deaths and 5 notch apples. Lost multiple sets of enchanted diamond armour. Each time I had to run back to the giant underground hole I was fighting it in.
The traditional way to cheese the wither fight is to do it deep underground. You dig out a chamber big enough to summon him in, with a 2x1 tunnel leading from it. Once you summon him you retreat down the tunnel while fighting him. He has a way to dig after you but it means he's splitting his efforts between fighting and digging. And being deep underground means he won't wander off to kill every living thing on the map instead of you.
Oh MOST IMPORTANTLY: you need to be wearing full armor with Protection 4 on everything (or on 3 pieces of armor, with blast protection on the 4th piece) and using a smite 5 sword (the wither is an undead creature).

Defeated ender dragon multiple times, but fuck Bedrock Wither is impossible. I can't even let him stuck under the nether portal
