Skeleton Evisceration
by hi111111111
Skeleton Evisceration adds a sword line for NeoForge that changes how Skeleton and Wither Skeleton kills behave, plus a rare enchantment that drops skulls.
What it does
The mod centres on the Skeleton Eviscerator, a sword crafted from a stick, a bone and a bone, with a durability of 131 and attack damage close to a stone sword. Beyond killing skeletons it has little use in normal play. Blaze-Tipped, Netherite and Netherite Blaze-Tipped versions raise durability, attack damage and attack speed, with the Netherite Blaze-Tipped sword carrying the highest durability at 1,561 and the highest enchantability. The Netherite variants are assembled on a smithing table, not the crafting table used for the standard sword.
The Beheading enchantment is the mod's central mechanic. Its four levels give a 2%, 5%, 7% or 10% chance that a killed skeleton drops its skull, and only the four Skeleton Evisceration swords accept it, so it can be found only through an enchanting table. Wither Skeletons take 10 extra damage from the swords, rising to 15 extra damage on the Netherite Blaze-Tipped version, and critical hits on them can yield wither roses or wither skulls at set chances. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it, and it is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.
