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.)

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

Comment by HicPorcum [ 24/Nov/16 ]

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

Comment by HicPorcum [ 24/Nov/16 ]

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)

Affects 0.16.0

Comment by [Mojang] Adrian Östergård [ 13/Oct/16 ]

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

Comment by Isaiah Varnado [ 25/Sep/16 ]

By October 18, this needs to be fixed.

Comment by Isaiah Varnado [ 16/Sep/16 ]

the enchanted weapons need to be fixed next update.

Comment by rplatham [ 16/Sep/16 ]

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.

Comment by Isaiah Varnado [ 16/Sep/16 ]

Hello? Can anybody fix this cause now this affects all the 0.15.90 builds

Comment by Isaiah Varnado [ 11/Sep/16 ]

affects 0.15.90

Comment by Isaiah Varnado [ 03/Sep/16 ]

affects 0.16.0 build 1 still.

Comment by Isaiah Varnado [ 21/Aug/16 ]

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

Comment by Shannon [ 20/Aug/16 ]

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

Comment by Shannon [ 20/Aug/16 ]

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?.

Comment by Isaiah Varnado [ 18/Aug/16 ]

please fix in next update or 0.16.0

Comment by Isaiah Varnado [ 11/Aug/16 ]

affects 0.15.6

Comment by Ramon [ 09/Aug/16 ]

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

Comment by Ramon [ 09/Aug/16 ]

Thank you.

Comment by PHO [ 09/Aug/16 ]

Ramon is right. This isn't working as intended.
Reopened.

Comment by Ramon [ 09/Aug/16 ]

Relates to MCPE-13966 and this issue affects version: 0.15.4

Comment by Ramon [ 09/Aug/16 ]

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.

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