Anxo 2012-11-02T18:33:50Z

this is very bad bug

Pablo Gabriel Espinosa Aguilar 2012-11-02T18:36:45Z

Old skeletons were strange, to resolve this bug

Dustin Dowell 2012-11-02T18:38:19Z

I don't understand the problem. He looks good to me...
Maybe post before pictures as well?

Alexander Escarate Parra 2012-11-02T18:43:25Z

Please fix it D:

It's a terrible bug, skeletons have arms like a paralytic (No offense)

Dustin Dowell 2012-11-02T18:55:01Z

@Alexander Are you serious? Really? ...I looked at the pictures, didn't see a problem. Still don't. Are you referring to the arm not holding the bow sticking out? No where on this page did it mention how the arms were misplaced.

Andrew Reed 2012-11-02T18:58:45Z

I too fail to see what's wrong with the skeletons. Someone should describe, in words, what's wrong.

Enzo Salomon 2012-11-02T19:14:37Z

@Andrew Reed And @Dustin Dowell The problem is the arm of the skeleton is misplaced in the 1.4

enri 2012-11-02T19:17:42Z

For all those that don't understand the problem, the first 4 pictures shows the skeleton's left arm holding the bow and in the last 3 pictures the skeleton's left arm isn't holding the bow. ^^

Dustin Dowell 2012-11-02T19:20:34Z

Ah, thanks Enri. I see that now. It was such a small change I didn't notice.

Daniel 2012-11-02T20:50:09Z

I think minecraft is each minecraft version is more realistic, and that the mobs do not catch the bow is a little weird

Pukasz Ero 2012-11-02T22:17:55Z

It´s a minor bug, but can help to improve the minecraft quality

Joshua 2012-11-03T02:47:23Z

For anyone still unsure. In 1.8.1 skeletons used both arms to hold the bow. In 1.4.2 only the right arm holds the bow and the other is placed straight out like a zombie.

It looks ridiculous and really should be fixed.

Adrián Santa Coloma 2012-11-03T10:20:48Z

Fix this bug, please. I love the old skeleton ^^

numeritos 2012-11-03T11:46:11Z

Please fix this bug! The skeleton is a zombie with bow!

Jens Bergensten 2012-11-05T09:19:46Z

Stop wasting our time...

Daniele Carbone 2012-11-05T14:41:01Z

Jeb, can you explain us how to shoot an arrow with a bow using only one arm?

Pablo González Rubio 2012-11-05T21:04:47Z

Is very stupid, skeleton can't shoot with one arm....

Win7yes 2012-11-06T14:13:01Z

It's a graphic bug, something that people do not like. other than that it seems foolish to try shooting with one arm.

Who cares?
It's Minecraft. It's DESIGNED to not make sense.

If Minecraft had actual physics, THEN it would matter if the skeleton only shot with one arm.

Philo Wintercoat 2013-10-12T02:08:12Z

What really bothers me about this one is that the proper pose was added as a feature, then later removed without explanation, along with a few others such as arrows sticking into mobs. (Yes, I know about the bug with resized mobs, but the set-size ones were fine!) Skeletons are bad enough with their imbalanced gameplay mechanics, but losing their aesthetics… Too far.

Cristian 2015-04-04T05:21:50Z

This is definitely not working as intended. Fix this. Still an issue to this day.

Dlawso the Really Lucky Rabbit 2015-04-04T12:34:58Z

Its still intended, and has been intended for the past two years.

Opinions can change in two years. I think the devs saw the bug tracker more as a place to post game-breaking and important bugs than small graphical mistakes. However, it doesn't make sense for this to be an intended feature. If anything, it should be marked "Won't Fix".

Torabi 2015-04-06T13:39:54Z

I think @unknown probably saw it as a feature request, rather than a bug. He may not have understood the report, may not have realized that the behavior was ever implemented, or may have deliberately removed it. Considering Notch's coding style, it was probably an inflexible special-case bit of code, and it may have conflicted with some other issue. Regardless of the reason at the time, a substantial portion of the code has been replaced since then, and any broken remnants of this have probably long been factored out of the codebase – in other words, there's nothing to "fix", and it would have to be re-implemented entirely. As such, it probably won't be addressed through the bug tracker here, and this should be pursued elsewhere, such as the suggestions subreddit.

branza 2015-04-06T15:56:41Z

I posted it to the subreddit. I think you're right, he probably didn't realize this was implemented before.

branza 2015-06-26T14:46:15Z

Fixed for 1.9!

There we go, skeletons now have proper combat animations. https://gfycat.com/DarlingImperfectAnnelida

Also, I searched for the keywords "skeleton animation" and didn't find this report, so you might want to add them.
