Skeleton

Skeletons are a hostile mob that shoots arrows with a bow, and the skeleton was implemented into the game in 0.3.3. Currently, they are the only bow wielding mob. They, like all mobs, cannot open doors. However, they can sometimes shoot through them, due to the fact that their outstretched arms can pass through solid objects, similar to the Zombie. a They drop 1-3 bones or 1-3 arrows when killed (usually a mixture of the two.) Skeletons take damage upon sunlight just like zombies do.

Offense
They attack you by shooting at you with arrows.The damage that they deal is 2 hearts.

Defense
Defending yourself from skeletons isn't that hard if you are armed with a diamond sword. Their arrows are something to watch out for though, as they do damage to your character.

Trivia

 * Skeletons have the same face as a Zombie, but recoloured white.


 * Skeletons are the only bow wielding mob. They are the only entity in the game besides zombie pigmen (who wield gold swords) and the player who can wield weapons.


 * Skeletons weren't added until 0.3.3.


 * You can actually stop Skeletons spawning in a world by torching the dark places of the world as the world is rather small.
