Skeleton
SkeletonSprite.png
Type:Hostile
Drops:Arrow, Bone
rare drop Bow
Identifier:skeleton

Skeletons are hostile mobs that when they see the Player_head player will shoot arrows from their bow to deal damage and kill the player.

This mob has 20 (♥ × 10) Health and will drop arrow, bones and bow when killed.

Spawning

Skeletons spawn in dark places in the Overworld, which includes the surface at night.

Besides spawning randomly, skeletons will also spawn from monster spawners, making monster spawners a convenient way to get their drops.

Commands

A Skeleton can be spawned in another way besides its respective spawn egg, with the command /summon skeleton you can spawn it.

In addition to that you can add data tags to customize the skeleton. examples:

  • /summon skeleton 1 ~ ~ {name:"skeleton custom", health:30, defaultDrops:false}
  • /summon skeleton 1 ~ ~ {name:"skeleton", health:1, drops:[{item:{id:"bone_shuriken", name:"shuriken"}, quantity:5, bonus:4}}]}

Drops

Skeleton drop Experience_orb_2 experience points when killed.

Upon death it will drop 0-2 Arrow Arrow and 0-2 Bone bones. They also have a chance of dropping a Bow bow with random durability as a rare drop.

Crafting

Crafting with the skeleton drop:

Bone Invisible-sprite Bone Invisible-sprite Bone Invisible-sprite Bone Invisible-sprite Bone Bone Shuriken

Invisible-sprite Invisible-sprite Invisible-sprite Invisible-sprite Bone Invisible-sprite Invisible-sprite Invisible-sprite Invisible-sprite Bone Meal

Invisible-sprite Invisible-sprite Invisible-sprite Invisible-sprite Bone Bone Invisible-sprite Bone Bone Bone Block

Behavior

If a skeleton gets close enough to the Player_head player, it will start following them around. They will also attempt to shoot arrows at the player at regular intervals.

They usually have good aim, but good maneuvering can help avoid their attacks. They walk a bit faster than ZombieHead zombies and do 1.5 ( 3 (♥♥) ) damage.

As with zombies, when skeletons come in contact with sunlight, they catch on fire and take damage.
