10 Things you don’t know about Skeletons


A Skeleton is a common hostile mob that shoots arrows and drops 0-2 bones, 0-2 arrows, armor (if equipped), and/or a bow (most likely used, however, there is a small chance a bow may be enchanted). They have primarily ranged mobs that the player encounters while in the overworld. Skeletons (before 1.13) are currently only one of two mobs that drop bones, the other being a Wither skeleton. Bones can be used to tame dogs and can be crafted into bone meal, which is used to speed up the growth process of saplings and crops.


 



·    Halloween

On the 31st October of every year, i-e, Halloween
The skeletons have a 40% chance of spawning with wearing a carved pumpkin on their head. And an 18% chance of wearing a jack o’ lantern.
I think this makes it more difficult to fight with a skeleton because due to the pumpkin or jack o’ lantern, the skeletons didn’t burn by the sunlight, in the day. So, you wanted to kill that annoying skeleton.



·    Accuracy

The accuracy of hitting arrows by the skeletons depends on the active difficulty level, at which you play the game.
1.    At the easy level, 1 of the 10 arrows, that the skeleton shoots, hits you.
2.    At the normal level, 1 of the 4 arrows, that the skeleton shoots, hits you.
3.    At the hard level, 1 of the 2 arrows, that the skeleton shoots, hits you.



·    Skeleton’s bow

Skeleton
The bow is the most common and the most favorite weapon of the skeleton. The holding style of the bow by the skeleton is changed three times.
1.    At first, skeletons hold the bow as it a normal thing that they hold in their hands. See the picture.
2.    The second time, the skeleton holds the bow in both hands.
3.    And finally, this changed to the style that we see today.



·    Skeletons do not have lungs

Yes, did you ever observe that skeleton never drown?
When a skeleton is sunk underwater, it did not suffocate or change into another mob, like zombies changed into drowns.
But they did not stop shooting their arrows when they under the water. This made them too annoying.

·    Skeleton with a sword

Yes, like the wither skeletons, the normal skeletons sometimes spawn with a sword.
This is actually very rare. Do you think so?
With a sword, a skeleton deal damage of 1 heart in easy mode, 1 heart in normal mode, and 1.5 hearts in the hard mode.
A skeleton, with a sword, is actually able to wear armor and pick up tools that they found on the ground.



·    Skeletons everywhere

Yes, after the ender man, the skeleton is the only mob that you can found in the overworld, along with the nether world.
Skeletons are usually found in the Soul Sand Valley biome of the nether, and they found in other biomes very rarely.
Like the Crimson Forest biome, Wrapped Biome and the Common Nether wastes biome.
I think the wither skeletons feel lonely, so Mojang sends the skeletons into the nether to accompany the wither skeletons.



·    Skeleton & Creeper

Yes, you can get rare items by using these two mobs in a correct way.
1.    If a creeper is killed by the arrows of a skeleton, so there will be a 100% chance of dropping a music disc, which is random 1 of the 12 discs of Minecraft.
2.    If a skeleton is killed by a Charged Creeper, then there will be a 100% chance of getting the skull of the skeleton.




·    Spider Jockeys

I know that you heard about the chicken jockeys of Minecraft, but you ever heard about the spider jockeys.
Yes, it is very rare to see a spider jockey, i-e, a skeleton riding on a spider. It is looking very creepy.
They both attack the player but they didn’t share their health. It means that if you kill one of them, so you need to kill the other also.



·    Infinite arrows

Back in the earlier days of Minecraft,
In the survival test phrase, you have actually infinite source of arrows.
Yes, you heard right, when you kill a skeleton in early versions, you can collect the arrows that the skeleton shoots.
I think this was an awesome feature.



·    Stray

The stray is one of three mobs added in The Frost burn Update. This mob is biome-specific. It is a variation of a skeleton that wears torn clothing. Its behavior is also similar to a skeleton.
When the stray hits a player with an arrow, the player will be temporarily affected by Slowness. It will only inflict Slowness I, which means it can get away from a player easier if it wishes to do so and if they're not already cornered.
