I was playing on a survival world and while running into my house at night, I had an argument with a mini zombie, which ended up killing me, and so I respawned near my house. As I was running back for my house and stuff, a skeleton picked up my stone sword!?!?!?! I knew zombies could do this, but skeletons can't. I use no mods. Has anyone else everhad something like this? Here are some screenshots;
Were you on a server? I noticed on a server I played on, I was killed by a mob, returned, and that mob had all the junk I dropped and equipped one of the weapons in my inventory and even my armor. There must be some sort of plugin or mod or whatever that some servers use.
Explain the "bare" zombie that killed me, and was suddenly wearing my chestplate and wielding my sword when I returned to the scene not even 30 seconds later?
Yeah, i had something like this in my mob spawning room a few weeks back - just been in there to pick up some xp points and noticed a zombie had dropped an iron sword, but i left it as i didnt want it, went back upstairs, didnt think anymore about it, then came down again a few mins later as there was more activity .. when i opened the door a skeleton with a sword came racing thru (he moved as fast as wither skeletons do) and took me by complete surprise - i thought it was really odd, a glitch of somekind, so much so i managed to close the mob spawning room door and led him up to my main area where i took a coupe of screenshots as he pursued me around the floor, before i despatched him. Need less to say after then reading about seletons on the wiki, i found the explanation ...

In other words, this isn't just a sword thing.
And this only happened to me online.
when a zombie kills you you become a zombie. when you respawn your old body is that zombie. i've seen friends get killed and then they instantly turn into a zombie.

I put the rival in the rival rebels mod :D.
If you mean skeletons can pick up swords then yes, yes they can. But they can't spawn with a sword. Only wither skeletons have that ability.
Bored enough to watch some vanilla lets plays? http://www.youtube.com/user/Crump3txxix

A normal skeleton will not spawn with a sword, but it's oblivious from your story that he stole your sword.
EDIT: Oh, and piggymen do it too. Once again, smart enough to pick up the Sharpness IV diamond sword, not the potatoe.
