Java Edition:Wither Skeleton Horseman
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
When a skeleton trap is opened in the nether it spawned wither skeletons as riders instead of the normal skeletons. Also, because stacked mobs can't enter portals until 1.21 Pre-Release 1, this mob can only be in the nether dimension before then.[1] Later on, this feature is obtainable in 22w13oneBlockAtATime.
Obtaining
In creative the following command will spawn the trap:
/summon EntityHorse ~ ~1 ~10 {SkeletonTrap:1b}
In survival, a farm is needed to collect the skeleton horse traps and teleport them to the nether automatically without opening them as a player. Basically, prepare a big surface with water flowing towards nether portals, like in this video by Xisuma. The trap will activate when the player is within 10 blocks, so prepare an AFK spot accordingly.
