A player build structure containing an Iron Golem a Witch and a Skelton. The Iron Golem is fixed in place between blocks and the Witch and Skeleton are sitting in Minecarts. The Skeleton tries to shoot the Iron Golem through a narrow gap between blocks, but hits the Witch instead. The Witch in turn throws Poison Potions towards the Skeleton. In the background we see a Badlands Biome with some dead bushes and trees.
