Skeleton Aiming Fix
by Xiaolin2-g
Skeleton Aiming Fix corrects how skeletons aim their shots, fixing vanilla bug MC-121706 so they no longer aim at the player's Y coordinate.
What it does
Under the vanilla bug MC-121706, skeletons aim as if the target sat higher than it does, which makes their shots look wrong when the player is above them. Skeleton Aiming Fix changes the aiming so skeletons shoot where the player actually stands. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, for game versions 1.20.1 – 1.21.10, and runs on client and server, so both sides need it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Corrected aim height
Skeletons aim at the player's true vertical position instead of an inflated Y coordinate.
Predictable fights
Shots follow the visible target, so players can judge where arrows will land.

This bug causes Skeletons to not look at the player when aiming, specially notable when the player is in a Y coordinate higher than the Skeleton, making them unfair to fight and unpredictable, because you don't know if the skeleton is really…
