What is this mod? It's in the Name. This mod will make all Skeletons hold a sword instead of bow. But that isn't all. That would be boring just like that, wouldn't it? Yes, Skeletons now hold the Ancient Blade, and when you kill them, they can drop their sword! Then, you can go to the furnace and smelt it to craft a new Bow, a new Tool Set, or a New Sword! It even adds a couple of new Skeletons with different effects!
What's New in 1.6.0?
That's right, 1.6.0 should be out by today or tomorrow! So what's included?
* Fixed not being compatible with 1.5.1 (for whatever reason)
* Fixed the Arrow vs Entity crash
* Remove EntityAncientArrow, as it was causing the crash. This means that the Bow now shoots normally and uses arrows, whereas the Ancient Bow uses Ancient Arrows but when you miss, the you just pick up an arrow. Hooray!
+ A new Enchantment - It took me a long time to decide if this was going to be a mod on its own or if it would be part of the Elemental Skeletons mod. If you don't think it should be in the mod, just tell me and I'll open a poll. Pretty much, it's a useless Enchantment. I thought it would be cool if sometimes when enchanting you can get a dud. Well, It's still being worked on, because look at its name:
* Hopefully today I can get the Ancient Bow to have a pull back texture before 1.6.0, but I doubt it will be done today and you should expect a 1.6.1 tomorrow.
Don't forget, feel free to leave your suggestions down below!
Are you impatient?
Feel free to download a 1.6.0 pre - release (not all the features have been added, but the enchantment is there)

1.0.0 MC 1.5+ First Release! + Skeletons now hold a Sword instead of a Bow + Ancient Blade, wielded by Skeletons
Requires Modloader or Forge. Install the same way you installed Modloader or Forge. If you don't know how to, just drag the files into your minecraft.jar, like you would any other mod.
Works with Forge + Forge Modloader and most Forge mods.
A little side note, if you use Forge, you can also install the mod by just dragging the .zip file into your mods folder.
Extra Info
The Ancient Blade and the Ancient Tools are as strong as an Iron
The Death Blade is as strong as a Diamond Sword
The Ancient Bow has 976 uses and takes 1 shot to kill most monsters if you get a headshot, but if you don't it takes 2 shots. This isn't confirmed yet, but it it is likely.
The Skeleton does 1 - 1.5 hearts of damage each hit (Scaled by Difficulty) and drops about 1-2 bones and 1-2 Ancient Arrows.
Zombies have a VERY Rare chance to drop 17 arrows and an even RARER chance to drop 34 arrows. Oh yeah, they can also drop wooden doors. Don't ask why I added this feature; I don't even know myself.
[quote] This mod is for those who hate those skeletons shooting you from far away. If you don't like this mod overriding that feature, then I don't recommend you install this mod. Get ready, I've started working on Elemental Skeletons v2. This time I will be adding a new mob, instead of overriding the default skeleton.
so can you use this if you have forge? also you say install like you do modloader some ppl (myself included :P) dont know what that is? like forge aka put it in the minecraft jar? Lmk because this mod sounds amazing i hope i can use it.

You don't know what modloader is? It came out before Forge, I guess Forge is popular now. Yeah, just install the mod by dragging the files into the jar. And Yes, It's compatible with Forge.Thanks!
This is exactly what i needed.
Skeletons are way too annoying as of right now.
Nearly impossible to hit them if you dont have any protection against knockback
I LOVE YOU

If you have the time, place TNT under their floor, and have a random pressure plate in the middle of their floor.
Put a sign up over the plate that reads "Step on Me".
