Withered Fragments
This mod adds an alternative way to obtain Wither Skeleton Skulls.
A new item, Wither Skull Fragment, can drop from Wither Skeletons. If a Wither Skeleton does not drop a skull, it has a chance to drop a fragment instead.
9 fragments can be crafted into 1 Wither Skeleton Skull.
This mechanic increases the overall number of skulls obtained from farming, resulting in approximately 2× more skulls on average, while keeping the original drop unchanged.
