Skeleton

For how this works in unmodified Minecraft, see Skeleton on the Minecraft Wiki.

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. The arrows and bones are as in vanilla. The pack adds  Estus Ash (0–1). On Normal and Hard, skeletons don't drop the bow they carry. The pack means to stop them dropping other equipment too, but a bug stops this from working reliably; see Spawning#Mob modifications.

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. 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.

Difficulty

Attribute	Easy	Normal	Hard
Max health	10 ( × 5)	10 ( × 5)	12 ( × 6)
Bow	vanilla	Punch I	Punch II
Bow drop chance	vanilla	0%	0%

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."
• The 1.12.2 release notes list the new skeleton textures as "Skeletons (for Lore)".
