Wither Skeleton Archers in Fortresses
This datapack introduces dangerous wither skeleton archers armed with bows to Nether fortresses. These mobs not only attack from a distance but also inflict fire damage on hit, significantly increasing the difficulty of navigating fortresses. Regular sword-wielding wither skeletons remain unchanged.
Mod Compatibility
The fortress detection system supports various modified structures, including:
- Apocalyptic Fortress (hexfortress:nether_fortress)
- Dungeons and Taverns (minecraft:nether_keep)
- YUNG's Better Fortresses (betterfortresses:fortress)
Also compatible with any mods that maintain the minecraft:fortress namespace. If needed, support for other structures can be added by editing the data/wsaif/predicates/in_fortress.json file.
Versions and Features
Versions available for different Minecraft generations:
- Legacy (1.15-1.18.2)
- 1.19.x (1.19-1.19.4)
- Modern (1.20+)
Differences between versions concern only code syntax, functionality is identical. Updates are related to changes in Minecraft's predicate system.
Installation and Removal
The datapack can be safely removed from your world, but existing wither skeleton archers will not revert back to regular skeletons.
