Unarmed Skeleton
by BuggyBuggy
Unarmed Skeleton adds a NeoForge spawn pool of skeletons that have no bow and attack in melee instead.
What it does
Skeletons spawned by the mod carry no ranged weapon and close in to strike, moving much faster than zombies and keeping the health of a regular skeleton. Each one drops bones every time it dies. The server and every player need the mod installed. It is published for NeoForge across six release versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.6, under the MIT License, and is not open source.
Key features
Melee skeletons
Skeletons from the spawn pool attack up close instead of firing arrows, changing how fights against them play out.
Dedicated spawn pool
The mod adds its own set of unarmed skeletons to the mob spawning, so they appear alongside the regular ones.
Bone drops
Each unarmed skeleton drops bones every time it is killed.

A simple mod that adds Unarmed Skeletons to the spawn pool. Unarmed skeletons attack like zombies but run much faster and have equal health to regular ranged skeletons. They drop bones 100% of the time.
