[MC-83849] Skeletons are not using tipped

Giving a Skeleton a tipped_arrow in their offhand slot does not cause the Skeleton to shoot it, instead it shoots normal Arrows.

Used command

/summon Skeleton ~ ~1 ~ {Health:0.1f,Invulnerable:1b,HandItems:[{id:"minecraft:bow",Count:1b},{id:"minecraft:tipped_arrow",Count:1b,tag:{Potion:"minecraft:poison"}}]}

mobs don't use their offhand at all, that was mentioned

I can't find the reddit post or tweet currently but I think @unknown said that map makers will be able to use this feature

he did say it, yes, but who said that it's already in, now?

Who says its not? @unknown said that at first you could not get the structure block, but you can (however it seems like it currently does nothing)

[Mod] redstonehelper 2015-07-30T20:43:15Z

Yeah, probably invalid since it's a feature request.

Was fixed some versions ago, maybe with the introduction of strays.
