About this project
What does BetterWitherDrop add?
BetterWitherDrop
Wither skeleton skulls are hard to obtain with 2.5% (without Looting enchantment) to drop by a wither skeleton. This datapack will make withers (the wither boss, not wither skeletons) redrop 1-2 skulls when it dies, so players can save a bit time and effort.
Note: This datapack won't make withers drop all 3 skulls
With this datapack
Wither drop :
0 skull with
42.25%36%1 skull with
45.5%48%2 skulls with
12.25%16%
Info calculated by Claude AI base on loot table.
Warning: 1.20.x version isn't tested or checked if working. Checked, it works well
You can skip the outdated-datapack warning because it will mostly work.
