What it does

Skeletons on a server running the mod can be adjusted through its configuration file. Arrow damage, arrow knockback, arrow velocity, how accurately a skeleton aims, and the way it strafes or approaches a target are all set there, so a server can make skeletons harder or gentler without changing their other behavior.

The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything. It requires Fabric API on Fabric. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, all for 1.20.1, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Fabric and Forge files were last updated on 2026-02-21 for Forge and NeoForge, while the Fabric build is from 2025-01-31.

Key features

  1. Arrow damage

    The damage dealt by a skeleton's arrow can be set to a value chosen in the configuration.

  2. Arrow knockback and velocity

    Knockback applied by arrows and the speed at which they fly are both adjustable, changing how hard a hit feels.

  3. Aim and inaccuracy

    How precisely a skeleton aims can be tuned, so shots can be made more or less likely to miss.

  4. Strafing and approach

    The way skeletons move while shooting, including strafing and how they close distance, can be configured.
