Goofy Skeletons
by Andriyko69
Goofy Skeletons makes skeletons a little less precise when they shoot, so ranged fights against them feel less exact.
What it does
The NeoForge mod changes how skeleton arrows aim. A configurable inaccuracy factor sets how far shots drift from the target, so skeletons stay dangerous without shooting with unrealistic accuracy every time. Only the server needs it; players join without installing anything. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1, and the code is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, which makes the mod open source.
Key features
Less precise skeletons
Skeleton arrows drift off target by a small amount, so a player is not hit by every shot.
Configurable inaccuracy
The inaccuracy factor can be adjusted in the config, letting server owners choose how loose the aim is.
Vanilla-friendly tweak
The change is a small gameplay adjustment that leaves the rest of the mob's behavior and the world unchanged.
Compatibility

What the author says
Skeleton Inaccuracy makes skeletons a little less precise when shooting. The mod adds a configurable inaccuracy factor to skeleton arrows, so their aim is less perfect and fights feel a bit more fair. They are still dangerous, just not unrealistically accurate all the time.
