Wither Skull Barter
by draemato
Wither Skull Barter changes which items piglins can hand over in trade, adding a bartering entry for the wither skeleton skull.
What it does
The mod adds a Wither Skeleton Skull entry to the Piglin bartering pool, along with its own bartering loot table. With the default weight of 5, the skull is a rare barter result, and the rare Enchanted Book with Soul Speed from vanilla bartering stays in the table. It is a server-side mod, so the server needs it while players may leave it out.
Key features
Skull in the barter pool
The wither skeleton skull joins the piglin bartering pool as a possible trade result.
Separate loot table
The bartering entry is defined in its own loot table, so the weight can be tuned without editing vanilla data.
Adjustable drop weight
The default weight of 5 can be changed, which sets how often the skull appears among the other barter results.
