Stray

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

Stray

Type	Hostile mob, undead
Health points	Easy, Normal: 10 ( × 5) Hard: 12 ( × 6)
Spawn	Snowy biomes
Drops	Bone,  Tipped Arrow,  Estus Ash

A stray in Matcha Flavoured is a cold-biome skeleton variant. It gets the same health and bow changes as skeletons, drops  Estus Ash, and no longer drops plain arrows.

Spawning

Strays use the vanilla spawn rules and, as undead, can spawn on the open surface until the Ender Dragon is killed. See Surface.

Drops

Loot table minecraft:entities/stray (source); pools roll 1 time(s). Overrides the vanilla table.

Item	Stack size	Chance per roll	Chance per table	Notes
Bone	0–2	66.7%	66.7%
Tipped Arrow	0–1	50.0%	50.0%	player kill
Estus Ash	0–1	50.0%	50.0%	player kill

Compared to vanilla, strays don't drop plain arrows, and they add  Estus Ash (0–1) when killed by a player. Bones drop on any kill; the tipped arrow of Slowness and estus ash need a player kill.

Behavior and difficulty

Strays are in the #minecraft:skeletons tag, so they are modified like skeletons: 10 ( × 5) on Easy and Normal and 12 ( × 6) on Hard, with a Punch I (Normal) or Punch II (Hard) bow. They don't drop their equipment. They are undead and hurt by warding.
