Two thirds of Wither Skeletons spawned in this way will have a Bow, while the remaining third will have Stone Swords like normal. This can allow you to witness an otherwise unused feature in the vanilla game, that Wither Skeletons with Bows can innately shoot flaming arrows. Soul Sand Valleys are about to become even more dangerous with this Datapack, but if you can power through the horde, Wither Skeleton Skull farming will become far easier in a much more natural way than what many other datapacks with that benefit provide. You don&#8217;t need boosted odds for something that can simply appear more often, after all.<\/p>\n<p>### OTHER THINGS<\/p>\n<p>This datapack was made for version 1.21.11, but has confirmed compatibility with versions as old as 1.21.5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Replaces all Skeletons that spawn in the Nether with Wither Skeletons.
