Mod Menu     Drops:

This mod makes it so Wither Skeletons have a chance to drop Withered Bones and will no longer drop regular Bones (This can be disabled in the config).

If you have the Better Nether mod the Naga and the Skull will also drop Withered Bones and will no longer drop regular Bones (This can be disabled in the config).

A withered bone has the same drop rates as a normal bone.     Recipes:

9 Withered Bone Blocks = 1 Wither Skeleton Skull

1 Withered Bone = 3 Withered Bone Meal

9 Withered Bone Meal = 1 Withered Bone Block

1 Withered Bone Block = 9 Withered Bone Meal

1 Withered Bone Block + 1 Poppy = 1 Wither Rose     Brewing:

Using a Wither Rose as the ingredient and an Awkward Potion as the potion will provide you with a Potion of Decay.

On top of this you can make stronger Potions of Decay, longer lasting Potions of Decay, Lingering Potions of Decay, Splash Potions of Decay, and Arrows of Decay like you can with any other potion.     Withered Bone Meal usage:

Withered Bone Meal only works on Warped Nylium and Crimson Nylium and spawns things in a 1x1 area.     Withered Bone Meal drops:

3/11 drop chance for warped and crimson fungus

2/11 drop chance for brown and red mushrooms

1/11 drop chance for a wither rose     Notice: Since this mod is under the Apache License 2.0, you can do whatever the license says you can, everything below are just some guidelines I'd like you guys to follow.     Modpacks:
