I was thinking, for the witherstorm hole leading to the bowels, instead of it appearing after a bit, endermen begin spawning in large numbers under the storm, but the storm has a low chance of attacking them. You need to make them go into the tractor beams, and they despawn, but a counter detects when 20 or so endermen have entered the beam. after that, the hole appears, to make it look like the endermen did it.

but it would be cool if you had to get them into the beams, like in story mode, and makes getting in the bowels a bit harder than just waiting.

maybe it could just be that enderman spawn around the witherstorm during phase 7, some with no blocks in their hands, some with tainted/infected flesh.

Although it's a really cool suggestion makes a little more role play and more like story mode it might be hard to code we all know that waiting for the wither storm to lose a chunk of it's head just by absorbing blocks really suck but idk cracker may have the experience to code that kind of a thing

This would require altering progression, which may not be in my best interests.
