 Description   

Ever since 0.16.0 (when the armor/tools that entities spawn with was moved to loot tables), no mobs ever spawn with enchanted armor or weapons. The only exception to this are skeletons spawned by skeleton horse traps. This is probably because enchanted items are missing from the vanilla behavior pack's /loot_tables/entities/armor_set_*.json.

Original Description:

First skeletons don't have enchanted bows now mobs don't have enchanted armor or enchanted weapons.

1. Start a creative world on hard.
2. Spawn 100 zombies, zombie pigman, or skeletons.
3. None have enchanted gear and enchanted weapons

Please fix.

Thinking about this... I don’t think I've seen a mob with enchanted gear in a extremely long time, heck I can’t recall seeing it since the MCPE became MCBE. This definitely still exists today and I’m on 1.12.1.

This is still an issue as of 1.12.2, playing on the Xbox One as of 9/22/2019 on a Realms server on Easy. No mobs spawn with any gear at all. There is no armor nor weapons besides base broken bows from skeleton mobs. Rarely will mobs drop handheld items such as carrots and potatoes, but at no point do they spawn with armor or weapons. This has been an ongoing issue for months now. Is there a resolution?

In my realm, hostile mobs never spawn with armor or weapons. This has been the case since the realm was created about two months ago. This issue does not occur when I play in Worlds, though. I have the 1.1 MCPE update on my iPhone.

Skeletons still not spawning with or dropping enchanted bows.

Affects 1.0.4.0

Some mobs do have this issue (zombie pigman, wither skeletons).

Reopening per users' comments.

Well, they don't have enchanted weapons now. I checked Skeletons and Zombie Pigmen.

Comment by Zeb [ 10/Dec/16 ]

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

Comment by [MCPE Mod] Celesian [ 29/Nov/16 ]

According to MCPE-18781, this bug also affects 0.17.0.2

Comment by Isaiah Varnado [ 14/Nov/16 ]

Affects 0.17.0.1

Comment by Isaiah Varnado [ 04/Nov/16 ]

0.16.1 just came out and it didn't get fixed.

Comment by PHO [ 04/Nov/16 ]

This is probably because enchanted items are missing from server/loot_tables/entities/armor_set_*.json.

Comment by Isaiah Varnado [ 03/Nov/16 ]

Anyone?
