Skeletons & Sidearms

This data pack turns Skeletons and their variants into scrappy little minibosses by allowing them to swap between different weapons when fighting the player.

Skeletons will swap to a mace at close range and use wind charges to bounce themselves in the air to land a devastating critical blow!

Parcheds use a golden spear to deliver a staggering dash attack to check players who get too close.

Wither Skeletons can two forms of damage over time with their flaming arrows and withering axe strikes.

Boggeds swap between bow, sword, and shield-breaking axe attacks to keep up the pressure! They wear a leather cap that protects them from sunlight.

Strays perform mace attacks similarly to skeletons, but also swap to an axe at close range to cleave shields. They also wear leather boots and a chainmail helmet. Scary!

Works with vanilla Minecraft, no resource packs required.
