Skeleton
| Type | Hostile mob, undead |
|---|---|
| Health points | Easy, Normal: 10 ( × 5)Hard: 12 ( × 6) |
| Spawn | Overworld, including the open surface |
| Drops |  Arrow, Bone,  Estus Ash |
A skeleton in Matcha Flavoured has about half the health it has in vanilla Minecraft, but on Normal and Hard it carries a bow with Punch that knocks players back further. Skeletons drop Estus Ash, and only drop anything when killed by a player.
Spawning
Skeletons use the vanilla biome spawn lists. As undead, they can spawn on the open surface until the Ender Dragon is killed; see Spawning and Surface. Skeletons also come from spawners in monster rooms and abbeys; those skeletons drop nothing.
Drops
Loot table minecraft:entities/skeleton (source); pools roll 1 time(s). Overrides the vanilla table.
| Item | Stack size | Chance per roll | Chance per table | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arrow |
0–2 | 66.7% | 66.7% | player kill |
 Bone |
0–2 | 66.7% | 66.7% | player kill |
| Estus Ash |
0–1 | 50.0% | 50.0% | player kill |
All drops require a player kill, and skeletons from the pack's spawners drop nothing.[1] The arrows and bones are as in vanilla. The pack adds Estus Ash (0–1). Skeletons don't drop the bow they carry or other equipment.
Behavior
On Normal and Hard, a skeleton's bow is replaced with a bow enchanted with Punch I (Normal) or Punch II (Hard), with a 0% drop chance.[2][3] The new bow replaces any enchantments the skeleton spawned with. These changes apply to every mob in the #minecraft:skeletons tag that the pack checks: skeletons, strays, bogged and parched.
Skeletons are undead, so warding hurts them.

History
| 0.4-alpha | Skeletons no longer drop armor or weapons they're holding. |
|---|---|
| 1.10 | Difficulty support: skeletons have half health on Normal and a little more than half on Hard. Obol drop rate lowered to match other mobs. |
| 1.12.1-alpha | Fixed performance problems from skeletons having both Punch I and Punch II. Obols no longer drop from undead. |
| 1.12.2 | Skeletons from spawners drop nothing. New skeleton textures. |
Trivia
- In the design video: "All skeletons have had their max HP cut in half."[5]
- The 1.12.2 release notes list the new skeleton textures as "Skeletons (for Lore)".
