Ever get picked off by a skeleton hiding in a dark corner, shooting you with its bow? This mod fixes that – skeletons no longer snipe from a distance. All four vanilla skeletons are now melee creatures that rush at you instead:

| Mob | Holds | Drops |
|—–|——-|——-|
| Skeleton | Bone | Bone + Arrows (0-2) |
| Stray | Cod | Cod + Arrow of Slowness |
| Bogged | Tipped Arrow of Poison | Arrows + Arrow of Poison |
| Parched (1.21.11+) | Dead Bush | Dead Bush + Arrow of Weakness |

Features:

• All four skeletons fight melee only – no more bow sniping from afar
• Even if you give them a bow via commands, they will never shoot
• Melee damage 2.0 (1 heart on Normal difficulty)
• Bows removed from loot tables; each skeleton now drops its themed arrows instead
• Wither skeletons are unaffected
