Wither Skeletons are dangerous hostile mobs that spawn in Nether Fortresses. Wither Skeletons are the Nether equivalent of skeletons. Unlike skeletons, Wither Skeletons use stone swords and are over two blocks tall. When hit by a Wither Skeleton on any difficulty, the player is inflicted with the "Wither" effect for 10 seconds, darkening the health bar and further damaging the player. When killed, the mob may drop coal and bones, and very rarely drop their skull and the stone sword. They have a 1/40th chance of dropping either of these items. This chance will go up if you use a sword with a Looting enchantment. The skulls are the key items to creating the Wither boss.

Wither Skeletons, like all Nether mobs, are immune to fire and lava and are not damaged by daylight. Some Wither Skeletons can also pick up items, weapons, tools, and armor, similar to other undead-type monsters.

Spawning

Wither Skeletons only naturally spawn in nether fortresses (even if the area where a fortress would be was generated before their inclusion, since it is tied to the location of the fortress, not the fortress itself). Block type does not matter with naturally spawned Wither Skeletons (e.g., replacing a Nether Fortress' bricks with normal blocks will still allow wither skeletons to spawn); they follow the same spawning conditions as naturally spawning Skeletons: light level 7 or less where their lower half will be.

When used in the Nether, Skeleton spawn eggs are able to spawn Wither Skeletons instead of the normal skeletons 80% of the time. Similarly, when a spider is spawned in the Nether (whether via spawn egg or a mob spawner), it has a 0.8% chance of spawning with a wither skeleton jockey instead of an ordinary spider. Not all Wither Skeleton Jockeys are Wither Skeletons, though.

Combat

Wither Skeletons are tough mobs to fight due to their high attack strength (9HP on normal), their ability to inflict the Wither effect, their ability to move faster than other mobs, and the probability of them being near a Blaze. Their biggest weakness is that they cannot pass through a two block high passage because of their height, much like Endermen.

If there are lots of Wither Skeletons and Blazes around, bring some Blocks of Iron and a pumpkin to make an Iron Golem. This is also a good way to farm the drops of the Wither Skeleton.

If an Iron Golem is not an option it is advised that the player treat the Wither skeleton as they would a Zombie, albeit with far more care. If you attack and move backwards at the same time you should not have any trouble avoiding damage provided you have some room to maneuver. If you have your back to a wall spam attacking should be enough to kill a single Wither Skeleton without taking damage. If you have your back to a wall and are facing more than one Wither Skeleton it is strongly advised that you move to a position where you have room to maneuver as the Wither Skeletons move slightly faster than zombies and so more easily overwhelm you. Sniping with a bow is also effective although it is not recommended at under 10 blocks away (without a punch enchantment) as Wither Skeletons move surprisingly fast.

A Zombie Pigman deals the same amount of damage as a Wither Skeleton, and they attack in groups, which Wither Skeletons do not do, so if you're not sure if you're up for fighting a Wither Skeleton, try practicing on some Zombie Pigmen first.

If you find yourself facing a Blaze at the same time the best course of action is to move into a place inaccessible for the blaze -such as a corridor- and then proceed in taking the above steps to kill the Wither Skeleton. If this is not possible it is suggested that the player run out of range of the blaze and turn to face the Wither skeleton. It is strongly advised that inexperienced players do not face both mobs at the same time as this often leads to death, but for more experienced players willing to face both you should either; deal with the blaze first by charging at it with a sword (do not use a bow as you will be exposed to attack) and then turning and facing the Wither Skeleton or (more recommended) putting the Wither Skeleton between yourself and the Blaze so as to use its body as a shield against the Blaze's fireball attack, and then charging the Blaze once it is dead.

Like all mobs, Wither Skeletons can travel through a Nether Portal. This means that if you put a Nether Portal inside the Nether Fortress, and yourself between the portal and a Wither Skeleton (or any other hostile mob), the Wither Skeleton will travel towards you but teleport into the overworld. This means that once you get back from the Nether you might still be up for a fight against a Wither Skeleton.

It is also possible to use an invisibility potion to therefore be able to fight the Wither skeleton with only a stone sword and no armor. This is one of the easier ways to kill a wither Skeleton given you don't directly touch the enemy, but it requires you to have an Invisibility potion.

You can also build partial walls in a nether fortress that comes down from the ceiling and leaves a walkway two blocks high. Wither skeletons cant move through two block high spaces so building such structures limits their mobility.

If a wither skeleton is able to acquire a bow, it will use it to shoot at you. Any arrows it shoots will be on fire, and will cause you to catch fire, regardless of the bow's enchantments. It is not recommended to allow a wither skeleton access to a bow.

Depending on your display settings, it may be possible to see your hearts' edges showing you the amount of HP left when suffering the wither effect.

A '''hopper''' is a low-capacity storage [[block]] that can be used to collect [[item (entity)|item entities]] directly above it, as well as to transfer [[item]]s into and out of other containers. A hopper can be locked with [[Redstone Dust|redstone power]] to stop it from moving items into or out of itself.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
To obtain a hopper, {{control|mine}} it with a [[pickaxe]]. Using any other item to mine a hopper drops only its contents.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Hopper|Pickaxe|Wood|foot=1}}

===Crafting===
A hopper can be crafted from 5 iron ingots and a chest.

==Usage==
{{see also|Tutorials/Hopper}}
[[File:Hopper aligment.png|Hoppers can face down or sideways.|thumb]]

A hopper can be used as a container, as a crafting ingredient, and as a redstone component.

A hopper has an "output" tube at its bottom that can face down or sideways and provides a visual indication of which block the hopper is set up to drop its items into, if that block has an inventory. To place a hopper, use the {{control|Place Block}} control while aiming at the surface to which its output should face (Hoppers ''do not'' orient themselves automatically). To place a hopper directly on the face of an already interactable block, the player can {{control|sneak}} while placing the hopper. Attempting to place a hopper aimed on the bottom face of a block instead faces downward. With some blocks, such as the [[furnace]] and [[brewing stand]], the hopper has multiple uses. A hopper does not change direction after placement, and it is not attached to the container it faces; the container can be removed or replaced, and the hopper remains unchanged.

Hoppers cannot be moved by [[piston]]s.{{only|java}} Despite not being a solid block, attached blocks such as [[rail]]s, [[lever]]s, [[tripwire]] and [[redstone]] dust can be placed on top of hoppers, but not on their sides.

===Container===
[[File:Hopper GUI.png|thumb|176px|Hopper GUI showing the hopper's five slots of inventory at the top and the player's inventory below.]]

A hopper can be used as a container and has 5 slots of inventory space.

To open the hopper GUI, use the {{control|use item|text=Use Item/Place Block}} [[control]]. To move items between the hopper inventory and the player inventory or hotbar while the hopper GUI is open, drag or shift-click the items. To exit the hopper GUI, use the {{key|Esc}} key, B button or circle button, depending on the device.

By default, the GUI of a hopper is labeled "Item Hopper". A hopper's GUI label can be changed by naming the hopper in an [[anvil]] before placing it, or, {{in|java}}, by using the [[Commands#data|data]] command (for example, to label a hopper at (0,64,0) "Steve's Hopper", use <code>/data merge block 0 64 0 {CustomName:'"Steve's Hopper"'}</code>).

{{IN|java}}, a hopper's GUI can be "locked" (or subsequently unlocked) by setting the hopper's <code>Lock</code> tag with the [[Commands#data|data]] command. If a hopper's <code>Lock</code> tag is not blank, the hopper cannot be accessed except by players holding an item with the same name as the <code>Lock</code> tag's text. For example, to lock a hopper at (0,64,0) so that only players holding an item named "Steve's Key" can access the hopper, use <code>/data merge block 0 64 0 {Lock:"Steve's Key"}</code>.

===Crafting ingredient===
A hopper can be used to craft a [[minecart with hopper]].
{{crafting usage}}

===Redstone component===
{{see also|Redstone circuit|Redstone components#Hopper}}
[[File:Hopper logic flowchart.png|thumb|Flowchart of hopper logic]]

While a hopper is ''not'' powered by redstone signals, it operates with three functions:

*'''Collect''' [[Item (entity)|item entities]] (free-floating items in the world) into its inventory from the space above it
*'''Pull''' a single item into its inventory from a container above it
*'''Push''' a single item from its own inventory into a container it faces

A hopper first attempts to push any items inside it. Afterward, it checks if the block above it is a type of container. If so, it attempts to pull from it. Otherwise, the hopper attempts to collect item entities. Notably, hoppers can push to and pull from other hoppers, forming '''hopper pipes''' or '''hopper chains''', which allow transporting items across several blocks and are further discussed below.

====Redstone signals====
When a hopper receives a redstone signal (and is considered to be "activated"), all three functions stop. To avoid confusion over the terms "activated" and "deactivated", powered hoppers are often described as being '''locked''' and unpowered hoppers described as being '''unlocked'''. Hoppers can be powered by [[Redstone_mechanics#Power|soft powered]] blocks, meaning a [[redstone dust]] trail pointing into a block touching the hopper locks it just as effectively as a [[redstone block]] or any other [[Redstone components#Power components|power component]] touching the hopper. When the hopper is unlocked during a redstone tick, it does not push or pull/collect during the same tick, but has a delay of 1 redstone tick instead.

While a locked hopper does not push or pull/collect items, it may still receive items from [[dispenser]]s, [[dropper]]s and other hoppers, and may have its items pulled out by another hopper beneath it. Hence, the item flow in a horizontal hopper pipe may be stopped by locking just one of the hoppers, but stopping a vertical hopper pipe requires locking two adjacent hoppers at the same time, such that both the pushing of the top one and the pulling of the bottom one are stopped.  

A hopper does not output any redstone signals by itself, but its fullness can be read using a [[Redstone Comparator|redstone comparator]], which needs to be placed next to it and facing away from it. An empty hopper outputs a signal strength of 0 and a completely full hopper outputs a signal strength of 15. Notably, a single stackable item (16 or 64) outputs a signal strength of 1 and a single non-stackable item outputs a signal strength of 3.  

{{IN|Java}}, if the hopper being read is part of a horizontal hopper pipe, the comparator can individually read each item passing through the chain, because items are pushed through the hoppers one by one at a speed that is manageable by the comparator. If there is an uninterrupted stream of items, the comparator does not switch off in between items. On the other hand, in a vertical hopper pipe, some of the hoppers may never produce a reading above 0, even with a continuous stream of items, because pushes and pulls both occur in the same game tick: The hoppers' items get pulled out a single game tick after they're pushed in and this isn't measurable by a comparator, because comparators need measurements lasting at least 1.5 redstone ticks to produce a reading.  

====Collecting items====
A hopper collects items dropped on top of it if the space above the hopper not occupied by a storage block. Items are gathered from the entire 1 block space above the hopper, meaning that items sitting on partial blocks such as [[soul sand]] directly above a hopper can be collected.<ref>https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-55824</ref> It is also possible for a hopper to collect items from inside a full, solid block, a situation that might come from items rising up through solid blocks or being [[commands/summon|summoned]]. Item entities are not collected when they are outside of the collection area however; for example, items on top of a stone block directly above a hopper are not collected. Collected items are placed in the leftmost empty slot of a hopper's inventory.

{{IN|java}}, if there is no container above the hopper, then the hopper collects dropped items in the order in which they landed on the hopper. This order is remembered even while a hopper is locked. For instance, if a hopper is locked under a carpet while a fully equipped [[armor stand]] is broken above it, then it always collects items in this order when it is unlocked: [[armor stand]], [[boots]], [[leggings]], [[chestplates]], [[helmets]]. This is due to the order in which these items land.{{Verify|Wouldn't this be due to the order in which the game creates the item entities that drop drop from the armor stand?}} {{IN|Bedrock}}, hoppers do not remember the order in which items land on the hopper. Instead, hoppers with multiple dropped items above them collect the items in the order in which they entered the chunk in which the hopper is located. Items that drop from a broken armor stand are collected in a random order.<ref>https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-120586</ref>

Hoppers usually check for dropped items every [[game tick]] and they can collect items even before they are picked up by a [[player]]{{Verify|Does this happen always, or sometimes, and in Java only or also in Bedrock?}} or destroyed by [[lava]]. However, {{In|Bedrock}} hoppers have a "collection cooldown" time. After collecting an item (or stack of items), a hopper waits {{tooltip|4 redstone ticks|8 game ticks}} (0.4 seconds, barring lag) before attempting to collect again.

Hoppers collect groups of items all at once rather than collecting them as single items one at a time. As a result, hoppers can collect item entities much faster than they can pull items from a container. Pulling from a moving [[minecart with chest]] or [[minecart with hopper]] is even slower, since the minecart is not always above the hopper.

====Pushing and pulling items====
A hopper with a storage container above it (such as a [[furnace]], [[chest]], [[dropper]], [[composter]], or another hopper) attempts to pull from the container instead of checking for floating items above it, and hence can not collect items.  A hopper always tries to push or pull items using the leftmost available slot. When a hopper is removing items from a chest, the items disappear from left to right. Similarly, when filling up a chest, the chest fills up from left to right. Hoppers prioritize pulling from the first slot of a container over pulling into the first hopper slot. If a hopper has stone in its first slot and nothing in its second while the container it is pulling from has chicken in its first slot but stone in the second, the hopper pulls the chicken from the first slot of the container into its empty second slot. However, if the hopper is unable to pull the chicken, such as if all slots are filled with stone, the hopper pulls the stone from the second slot of the container instead. Similarly, hoppers prioritize pushing from their first slot over pushing into the first slot of a container. If a hopper has stone in its first slot and chicken in its second while the container it is pushing to has chicken it its first slot but stone in the second, the hopper pushes stone from its first slot into the second slot of the container.

In [[Java Edition]] the checks done by a hopper while pulling generally require less processing than the checks done by a hopper attempting collection. Therefore, a chain of hoppers topped with storage containers rather than air/solid blocks has better performance (measured as milliseconds of processing per tick) and lower potential for processing lag. <ref name=":0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC3ZOOI1Rf0</ref> The performance improvement achieved is correlated with the number of storage slots the container has. Placing composters (with no storage slots but still with custom output logic) on top of hoppers provide the greatest efficiency, while double chests actually degrade performance, even when sharing each double chest across two hoppers.<ref name=":0" /> In [[Bedrock Edition]] a chain of hoppers with air or non-container blocks on top has better performance than a chain of hoppers topped by container blocks.<ref>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/715523208530362389/890030941282631741/Redstone_MSPT_measure.xlsx</ref> This may be because, even though hoppers with containers on top do not check for items, they do check for hopper-minecarts and chest-minecarts to pull from, and that involves scanning the chunk entity list.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-109449}}</ref>

{{Schematic|caption='''Push then Pull'''
Chest A is full of items while the hopper and Chest B are empty.
|ch-$+A||-
|ho-$e|ch-$+B
}}

Item pushes and pulls are processed in the same game tick, but pushes are processed before pulls. In the schematic, the empty hopper first pulls an item from chest A as it cannot push anything into chest B. After the cooldown, the hopper first pushes its item into chest B before pulling another item from chest A, both pushing and pulling in the same tick, and the process repeats. The hopper stops pulling when A is empty, and stops pushing when B becomes full.

Hoppers also have a "transfer cooldown" time. After pulling and/or pushing items, a hopper waits {{tooltip|4 redstone ticks|8 game ticks}} (0.4 seconds, barring lag) before pulling or pushing again (a transfer rate of 2.5 items per second, barring lag). A hopper that has an item pushed into it from another hopper also starts a 4 tick cooldown period, regardless of whether it pushed or pulled items itself. Item entities can be collected at any time without affecting the transfer cooldown time. The transfer cooldown and the Bedrock Edition collection cooldown are independent of each other.

====Container interactions====
Some [[container]]s interact with hoppers in specific ways:

:;{{BlockLink|Composter}}
::Hoppers above composters can push compostable items into the composter's top face with a chance of increasing the level of the composter as if the player used the item on the composter. Items that are not compostable cannot be pushed into the composter. Hoppers below the composter can pull [[bone meal]] when the composter is in stage 8, emptying the composter and resetting it to stage 0. Hoppers to the side of a composter do not interact with it.

:;{{BlockLink|Brewing Stand}}
::A working hopper on the top face of a brewing stand deposits only into the ingredient slot and it can push only valid [[brewing]] ingredients. A hopper on side face of a brewing stand can deposit only [[blaze powder]] or filled bottles into the three brew slots. A hopper underneath a brewing stand always extracts from the three brew slots, whether brewing is finished or not—The hopper must be locked to allow potions to finish brewing.

:;{{BlockLink|Chest}}
:;{{BlockLink|Trapped Chest}}
::Large chests and large trapped chests are treated as a single container: A hopper depositing into a large chest fills up the entire chest and a hopper underneath a large chest empties the entire chest. Trapped chests being accessed by a player lock any adjacent hoppers, per the standard behavior of a hopper next to an active power source.

:;{{BlockLink|Furnace}}
:;{{BlockLink|Blast Furnace}}
:;{{BlockLink|Smoker}}
::A working hopper pointing into top of a furnace deposits only into the ingredient slot. It can push any item, including items that can't be smelted by the furnace. A hopper pointing into the side of a furnace deposits into the fuel slot, and only items that are usable as fuel. A hopper below a furnace pulls everything from the output slot and empty [[bucket]]s from the fuel slot left over from using [[lava bucket]]s as fuel. When a hopper removes items from a furnace, the experience points are 'stored' in the furnace until a player removes at least one smelted item, or the furnace block is broken.

:;{{BlockSprite|Hopper}} Hopper
::A sequence of three or more hoppers, each pushing items into the next, is called a '''hopper pipe'''. Working horizontal hopper pipes simply push items into each other at the expected rate of 2.5 items per second, but vertical hopper pipes are more complicated, as the hoppers are trying both to pull and to push. When a vertical pipe pulls from a single container, it simply transfers items at 2.5 items per second because the transfer rate is limited by the first hopper pulling items from the container. If a ''stack of items'' is in a vertical pipe, the items can be transferred twice as fast, because the hopper with the item stack is pushing items down while the hopper below it is also pulling items down.

:;{{EntityLink|Minecart with Chest}}
:;{{EntityLink|Minecart with Hopper}}
::Unlocked hoppers fill chest minecarts and hopper minecarts if any part of the entity's hitbox is within the hopper's target block-space. Hopper minecarts try to pull items from the hopper at high speed. Hoppers can pull items from minecarts above them so rails can be placed directly on the top faces of a hoppers. If a [[detector rail]] is in the right position, it could lock the hopper per standard redstone-hopper behavior.

:;{{BlockLink|Jukebox}}
::Hoppers can insert [[music disc]]s into jukeboxes, and extract the music discs after they finish playing.

:;{{BlockLink|Shulker Box}}
::Hoppers cannot put shulker boxes into other shulker boxes. This allows for the creation of certain [[Tutorials/Hopper#Potions and shulker boxes|item filters]].
::Otherwise, hoppers interact with shulker boxes normally.

:;{{BlockLink|Lectern}}
::Hoppers cannot remove or place books on lecterns. The redstone pulse emitted from a lectern when a page is turned can temporarily lock hoppers.

:;{{BlockLink|Ender Chest}}
::Hoppers cannot interact with ender chests in any way.

:;{{BlockLink|Barrel}}
:;{{BlockLink|Dispenser}}
:;{{BlockLink|Dropper}}
:;{{EntityLink|Boat with Chest}}
::Hoppers interact normally with barrels, dispensers, droppers, and boats with chests.

:;{{BlockLink|Chiseled Bookshelf}}
::Hoppers and minecart with hoppers can insert and remove books from the bookshelf. As with any other container, items are taken from the first slot that has an item that can fit in the hopper and are inserted into the first empty slot.

=== Mob loot ===

==== Pillagers ====

When killed, a [[pillager]] has a small chance (8.5%) of dropping a loaded or unloaded crossbow with random [[durability]]; the [[drop]] rate increases by 1% per [[level]] of [[Looting]]: 9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III. The [[drop]]ped crossbow can rarely (10% chance) be [[enchanted]] at level 5–19 regardless of being [[enchanted]] when it [[spawn]]ed.

Crossbows dropped by pillagers may have multiple enchantments, including duplicate enchantments on the same weapon.

==== Piglins ====
[[Piglin]]s have a chance of wielding a crossbow upon spawning, and they also have a small chance (8.5%) of dropping a loaded or unloaded crossbow of random durability when killed; this rate increases by 1% per level of [[Looting]]: 9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III. It can rarely (10% chance) be enchanted at level 5–19 regardless of being enchanted when spawned.

=== Weapon ===
[[File:Crossbowcooldown.gif|thumb|right|Charging and shooting the crossbow {{in|bedrock}}.]]
Crossbows are similar to [[bow]]s, but take longer to load and are slightly more powerful, shooting farther with slightly higher accuracy. Alternatively, they can be loaded with a firework rocket, which flies in a straight line.

Load them by {{control|using}} them, which makes the player move at sneak speed. Unlike bows, the [[arrow]] or [[firework rocket]] can be fired only if the player releases the use button after the crossbow is loaded{{Only|je}}  or if the crossbow finishes its loading animation {{Only|be}}. At this point, it ''must be used a second time'' to fire its bolt.

Once it has reached full charge, the [[player]]'s speed returns to normal. After that, shooting a charged crossbow does not delay any of the [[player]]'s current action like [[sprinting]] or [[swimming]].

The crossbow can even be placed in another [[inventory]] slot or into an [[item frame]] without the [[arrow]] or [[firework rocket]] being unloaded or fired. A charged crossbow also remains charged after enchanting it with an enchantment table or with an anvil.

In order to use the crossbow, at least one arrow or firework rocket must be present in the inventory. The player can choose the type of arrow to fire based on its location in their [[inventory]]:
* Arrows in the off-hand, or the selected [[hotbar]] slot if the crossbow is in the off-hand, are prioritized first. 
* If there are no arrows in the off-hand or selected hotbar slot, the arrow closest to slot 0 is selected. 
Crossbows take 1.25 seconds (25 ticks) to load. 

The player can load either an arrow, spectral arrow, tipped arrow (of any effect) or a firework (of any color/type).

[[Endermen]] teleport away from projectile paths, so they cannot be hit with crossbow [[arrow]]s. However, they can still get harmed by [[firework rocket]] explosions, if they can't detect the firework rocket.

=== Fireworks ===

[[Firework rocket]]s can be fired by loading the crossbow only while holding the rockets in the off-hand. They fly at 32 m/s. Firework rockets with higher flight duration have a longer time before they explode and therefore travel farther. Firing a firework rocket uses 3 [[durability]] points per shot.

Firework rockets also work with the [[Multishot]] enchantment, enabling the [[player]] to shoot 3 firework rockets at a time. The increased durability usage stacks, resulting in 9 durability being consumed with each shot.

A shot firework rocket explodes instantly when it hits a [[mob]] or [[block]].{{only|java}} If the firework rocket has no explosion effect, it deals no [[damage]]. The explosion of a firework rocket deals {{hp|5}} to {{hp|6}} points of damage, with one [[firework star]]. The explosion has a radius of roughly 4 blocks, which is unaffected by the firework star's [[Firework Star#Effects|effect]]. Each additional firework star on the rocket deals an additional {{hp|1}} to {{hp|2}} points of damage, for a maximum of {{hp|11}} to {{hp|18}} with 7 firework stars. The flight duration of the firework increases the maximum range the firework can travel before exploding, but does not affect the damage output. Likewise, the damage remains the same regardless of any dyes used. The [[Piercing]] enchantment causes the firework rocket to pierce a number of entities based on its respective level before exploding.{{only|java}} Unlike an arrow shot from a bow, the firework does not slow down under water.

=== Repair ===

Crossbows can be repaired in an [[anvil]] or [[grindstone]] by combining two crossbows. Any loaded ammunition is retained from the crossbow in the first slot but sacrificed from the crossbow in the second slot.

===Enchantments===
{| class="wikitable"
|+
!Name
!Description
!Max Level
|-
|[[Quick Charge]]
|Decreases the reloading time of the crossbow by {{code|level * 0.25}} seconds. Crossbows with [[Quick Charge]] III fire slightly faster than [[bow]]s. If [[commands]] are used to enchant a crossbow with Quick Charge V, the crossbow charges instantaneously. A crossbow enchanted with Quick Charge VI is effectively impossible to charge, which renders it useless. This can be done only {{in|je}}.
|III
|-
|[[Multishot]]
| Makes the crossbow fire a spread of 3 projectiles at once instead of a single projectile, which is useful for targeting mobs spread out in a small area. This works for both [[arrow]]s and [[firework rocket]]s. Firing with this enchantment still uses only one projectile, and because of that, it is possible to recover only one of the three arrows shot from a Multishot crossbow. Multishot crossbows use 3 [[item durability|durability]] points per shot, unless using fireworks for ammunition, in which case 9 durability is consumed. Mutually exclusive with Piercing.
|I
|-
|[[Piercing]]
|Makes [[arrow]]s shot from the crossbow pierce [[entity|entities]] they hit and continue their flight, which allows each arrow to hit up to {{code|level + 1}} entities. This is useful for targeting [[mob]]s closely packed together, and for conserving arrows, as they can be picked up after piercing entities. Arrows fired in this manner also ignore [[Shield|shields]]. Mutually exclusive with Multishot.
|IV
|-
|[[Unbreaking]]
|Causes a <code>(Level /(Level+1)) * 100%</code> chance a shot fired does not reduce the [[item durability|durability]] of the crossbow.
|III
|-
|[[Mending]]
|Allows a certain proportion of [[experience]] orbs collected to contribute toward repairing the crossbow, rather than raising the [[player]]'s experience.
|I
|-
|[[Curse of Vanishing]]
| Causes the crossbow to disappear instead of dropping on the ground when the player dies. The {{cmd|gamerule keepInventory}} overrides this.
|I
|}

[[Multishot]] and [[Piercing]] are mutually exclusive. Normal methods of [[enchanting]] allow only one of them to be applied to a crossbow.

Crossbows can receive 3 unique [[enchanting|enchantment]]s, and have a base enchantability of 1. Enchantments specific to crossbows include [[Quick Charge]], Multishot and Piercing.

===Fuel===
Crossbows can be used as [[fuel]] in [[furnace]]s, [[smelting]] 1.5 [[item]]s per crossbow.

==Trivia==
*Alongside [[pillager]]s, crossbows were inspired by ''[[Minecraft Dungeons]]'', even though they were added in the base game first.<ref>{{cite|url=https://discord.com/channels/579770991056519194/818903542139453480/819631528593588244| title = March 2021 developper Q&A|website=discord.com|date=March 11, 2021}}</ref>
*Crossbows [[enchanting|enchanted]] with [[Quick Charge]] VI and above get stuck on the first frame on the recharging animation because the resulting charge time is negative, and the game never reaches the time markers that tell it to advance the animation or the reloading procedure itself. It is technically possible to charge such crossbows, but this would require overflowing the value that determines how long the crossbow has been charged. This takes such an amount of time that this is practically impossible: for example, charging a crossbow with Quick Charge VI would take 69.4 years to complete.
*Although Piercing allows arrows to bypass [[shield]]s, they can't get through the wither armor.
*The crossbow's first-person loading animation in [[Bedrock Edition]] is different from [[Java Edition]].
*Even if a crossbow is already wound with a projectile, when it drops on the ground, it always looks uncharged.<ref>{{bug|MC-137552}}</ref>
*In real life, crossbows don't shoot the same arrows as bows, rather they shoot shorter, thicker, and oftentimes fletchless arrows (usually called "bolts") made to withstand the crossbow's increased power, which can shatter conventional arrows.

Wither Skeletons will now sprint towards the player.

Bugs

  • Because of their shared entity ID with skeletons, their behavior is similar, such as their hitboxes are the same as skeletons, along with other characteristics like heading away from sunlight despite that they cannot catch fire. Also, the Wither Spider Jockey is a glitch, because of their behavior, and only exist in Creative mode through spawn eggs.
  • Rarely, when the Wither Skeleton is pushed in a minecart into the lava, it will float in the air, seeming to "jump" in there. The glitch will cause the skeleton to disappear within a minute.
  • Because Wither Skeletons have the same entity ID as skeletons, they sometimes spawn in two-block-high spaces of Nether forts that are too short for them, causing them to suffocate.

Trivia

  • The drop rate for the wither skeleton skull is 1/40 (2.5%).
  • A normal skeleton will spawn in a Nether Fortress instead of a Wither Skeleton 20% of the time.
  • Wither Skeletons wield stone swords, yet there is no natural stone in the Nether.
  • Their drop of coal makes it possible to craft fire charges without leaving the Nether, a way to reignite a portal, should a Ghast destroy the portal you came through.
  • Wither skeletons could be seen as to skeletons as cave spiders are to regular spiders, because they both are a mob-variant and have a special player-damaging after-effect. However, unlike cave spiders, they have weaknesses compared to skeletons.
  • It is a common misconception that the Wither effect gives Wither Skeletons health back when it actually only damages the player.
  • Wither skeletons, as with zombies, zombie pigmen, and regular skeletons, will sometimes wear pumpkins on Halloween (October 31st).
  • If a wither skeleton is wielding a bow, it will use it like an ordinary skeleton, but the arrows it shoots will be set on fire. This happens whether or not the bow has the Flame enchantment.
  • Wither Skeletons burn in the sun, but don't die, due to being a nether mob, similar to Zombie Pigmen.
  • Wither Skeletons are one of the three mobs that carry a weapon by default, the other two being the Skeleton and the Zombie Pigman.
  • Ironically, Wither Skeletons aren't immune to the Wither effect.
  • Wither skeletons are among the only 3 mobs not having spawn eggs (the others being the Wither and the Ender Dragon), due to their shared ID with normal skeletons.
  • Wither skeletons are one of the four mobs that give a debuff to the player. The other three being the Wither, the Cave spider and the Witch.
