All Wither Skeletons in Nether
I don't know my version or loader
DESCRIPTION
This simple datapack makes it so any Skeletons that spawn naturally in the Nether will be replaced with Wither Skeletons. Two thirds of Wither Skeletons spawned in this way will have a Bow, while the remaining third will have Stone Swords like normal. This can allow you to witness an otherwise unused feature in the vanilla game, that Wither Skeletons with Bows can innately shoot flaming arrows. Soul Sand Valleys are about to become even more dangerous with this Datapack, but if you can power through the horde, Wither Skeleton Skull farming will become far easier in a much more natural way than what many other datapacks with that benefit provide. You don't need boosted odds for something that can simply appear more often, after all.
