Tiny Skeletons

Tiny Skeletons brings baby skeletons to Minecraft at last! 💀 If baby zombies exist, why not skeletons too? Normal skeletons, strays, bogged, parched, and even wither skeletons can now spawn as tiny variants, each with their own unique behaviors, attacks, and rewards.

Cute? Sometimes. Harmless? Absolutely not. ✨

• 💀 Natural Spawning: Baby skeleton variants spawn naturally with a 5% chance, just like baby zombies.
• 🏹 Baby Skeletons: Fight with bows at range, then quickly switch to melee combat with a wooden sword when you get too close.
• ❄️ Baby Strays: Throw icy snowballs mixed with pebbles that deal a small amount of damage and knock targets back. They may even drop blue ice when defeated.
• 🍄 Baby Bogged: Toss mushrooms at their enemies from a distance, dealing light damage while providing unique mushroom themed drops.
• 🏜️ Baby Parched: Throw chunks of sand at nearby targets and can provide a handy source of sand.
• 🖤 Baby Wither Skeletons: Surprisingly timid creatures that flee when approached, terrified you might steal the wither skeleton skull they always carry. Defeat one for a guaranteed skull drop, or trade it a wither rose instead.
• 🎁 Unique Rewards: Several baby skeleton variants offer special drops and alternate ways to obtain useful resources.

📖 About:

Ever wondered why baby zombies are a thing, but baby skeletons are nowhere to be found? Wonder no more, Tiny Skeletons is here to change just that. A baby variant is added for normal skeletons, strays, and wither skeletons. And they all have unique behaviors to stand out from their adult variants.

📚 Contents:

The new baby skeleton variants spawn just like baby zombies; every time an adult skeleton spawn, there is a chance of 5% it's baby counterpart will spawn instead.

Baby Skeletons are true combat masters. When hunting a target, they'll use their bow for ranged combat. As soon as they come close enough, they'll quickly switch to the wooden sword on their back, and turn to melee combat. All this together with their quick movement speed makes them quite the challenge.

Baby Strays on the other hand don't inherit the bows from their adult variant. They're equipped with snowballs instead, and will throw those right in your face whenever they have the chance. But be careful, they are quite the tiny jerks: Their snowballs have pebbles mixed in, so they'll deal a very tiny amount of damage on impact.

Last but not least, Baby Wither Skeletons are very different from their adult variant. Instead of being aggressive and hunting you down, they're scared you'll steal the wither skeleton skull they carry and will try to flee as soon as you get even a little bit close. But if you manage to corner one and kill it there is a grand reward: You'll be guaranteed to receive that skull! But doesn't that break the balance for obtaining wither skeleton skulls? No, it doesn't, as baby wither skeletons are quite rare. It's just, that when you find one and are able to hunt it down, you'll have a guaranteed wither skeleton skull.
