Skeletons & Sidearms

!Skeletons & Sidearms Logo 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! !A Skeleton using a wind charge.

Parcheds use a golden spear to deliver a staggering dash attack to check players who get too close. !A Parched giving an unarmored player a good spearing.

Wither Skeletons can two forms of damage over time with their flaming arrows and withering axe strikes. !A Wither Skeleton fires a flaming arrow.

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. !A Bogged preparing to disable a shield with its iron axe.

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! !A Stray aiming its bow while soaring through the air.

Works with vanilla Minecraft, no resource packs required.
