Bone

Bones are items primarily obtained as drops from skeletons.

Mobs
Skeletons, wither skeletons, skeleton horses, and strays may drop 0–2 bones upon death.

Fishing
Bones can also be obtained by fishing as part of the junk category. The best chance of catching a bone is achieved without the Luck of the Sea enchantment, yielding a 1.1% chance.

Wolves
Using a bone on a wild wolf has a $1/3$ chance of taming it. Bones cannot tame an angry wolf or a wolf that has already been tamed.

Trivia

 * As with sticks and blaze rods, bones are wielded as a tool instead of an item.
