Common Parcheds in Deserts

by AshenAstra

Common Parcheds in Deserts changes which skeletons spawn in desert biomes, swapping most of them for Parched.

What it does

A bundled datapack makes skeletons spawn naturally in desert biomes, and about 80% of those spawns are replaced with Parched. The remaining 20% stay as regular skeletons. Because Parched appear far more often, players can collect Weakness arrows from them with less effort, which makes curing a Zombie Villager simpler. The datapack also includes further changes beyond the spawn swap. Server owners install it on the server, and players connecting without it still see the same mobs. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, all for 26.2, under the MIT License, which is not open source.

Key features

  1. Parched spawns in deserts

    Most skeletons that spawn in desert biomes are replaced with Parched.

  2. Regular skeletons remain

    Roughly one in five desert skeleton spawns is left as a normal skeleton.

  3. Simpler Zombie Villager curing

    More frequent Parched encounters make it simpler to collect Weakness arrows for curing.

Questions

Does Common Parcheds in Deserts need to be installed on the client?

No. It works on the server alone, and a player's client can run without it, so only the server needs the mod for the spawn change to apply.

Which game version does Common Parcheds in Deserts support?

Only 26.2. Files exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, all dated 2026-07-28.

What the author says

This simple datapack makes it so any Skeletons that spawn naturally in Desert biomes will have an 80% chance to be replaced with the Parched. The remaining 20% of Skeletons will stay as Skeletons. This can allow you to encounter this mob much more frequently, and farm Weakness Arrows from them, making Zombie Villager…
