I was talking to Sppople about this a bit earlier. Minecraft has no Big Bad/main antagonist because it has no narrative structure. The storytelling is minimal at the very best. See, to define a Big Bad or a "primary antagonist," that is defined as a "force/character that opposes the main protagonist and create's the story's conflict or is at least the main driving force of it." Neither the Ender Dragon or the Wither fulfill that role; they're only antagonists in the sense that they are bosses for the player to defeat, and keep in mind the Wither is also completely optional to fight.
