BetterWitherDrop

Available on CurseForge

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.

You can skip the outdated-datapack warning because it will mostly work.
