They don't spawn armor all the time. And I believe only hard mode enables them to spawn with them.

Please reopen this bug because its not works as intended According to the Official Minecraft Wiki: Skeletons spawn already-armed with bows, which may also be enchanted.
If skeletons don't spawn with enchanted bows maybe check your difficulty.

Can you please change the summary to match the description. it should say something like: Skeletons Don't Spawn with Enchanted Armor or Weapons

Isaiah Varnado 2016-08-11T16:28:41Z

affects 0.15.6

Isaiah Varnado 2016-08-18T02:39:26Z

Hey Ramon you should apply for Mod on here! You seem to know you minecraft. And your right i was wondering why I never get a bow anymore and I always play with difficulties on hard mode. I use to get at least a regular used bow now nothing. But they do drop their armour. Just not their bows. Are zombies suppose to drop their swords or shovels? I know pigmen are suppose to?.

Shannon 2016-08-20T17:34:04Z

Skeleton traps with the horses the skeletons spawn with enchanted helmets and bows and only drop their helmets.

Isaiah Varnado 2016-08-21T18:50:19Z

they do, but, I want them to spawn with enchanted bows now. 😞 too bad there's none except skeleton traps

Isaiah Varnado 2016-09-03T14:05:24Z

affects 0.16.0 build 1 still.

So is the only remaining bug that skeletons don't spawn with enchanted weapons (both wither and normal)? It seems to me that the armor issue is fixed.

Isaiah Varnado 2016-09-16T21:27:52Z

the enchanted weapons need to be fixed next update.

Isaiah Varnado 2016-09-25T22:24:36Z

By October 18, this needs to be fixed.

Adrian Östergård 2016-10-13T09:41:41Z

Please reply and update affected versions if you're still able to reproduce this issue.

at least for me, if you walk up to a skeleton horse it spawns about 7 skeletons all with enchanted iron helmets and some with enchanted bows... (withers don't have enchantments for me either, but I'm not sure if its supposed to be like that, since all of them have a wither effect)

HicPorcum 2016-11-24T10:14:28Z

but those, I believe but could be mistaken, are the only ones ive seen with such.

SuperGeniusZeb 2016-11-24T14:22:50Z

@unknown Skeleton horse trap skeletons don't really count, since they're currently hardcoded to spawn wearing what they do.

SuperGeniusZeb 2016-12-10T02:34:23Z

Fixed in 1.0.0.1 (See MCPE-17752). (But I can't mark an issue as fixed in archived versions, so I'm marking it as fixed in 1.0.0.2.)
