Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What weapon does a Skeleton wield normally?

Answer: Bow

It is possible to get skeletons with swords but this is difficult. Guns and maces don't exist in the game.

2. Which of these circumstances will NOT prevent a Skeleton from burning in daylight?

Answer: Still attacking you

They can wear any helmet or a pumpkin to prevent being burnt. When the sun comes up, the Skeletons will run for shade or the water then it'll stop burning. However, it won't stop attacking you to run for the shade or the water.

3. When were Skeletons first introduced?

Answer: Classic

However, they weren't good shots at all until 1.2.1 of the official release. This actually made them better shots and be able to find shade.

4. What is the probability of a Skeleton dropping their weapon when killed?

Answer: 1/40

This feature was also added in "Minecraft" 1.2.1 of the official release. They also added the even smaller chance of that bow being enchanted. There is a 1/5 chance of that bow having Power I.

5. Which of these can Skeletons NOT do?

Answer: Provoke an entire group of Zombie Pigmen

If a Skeleton shoots at a Zombie Pigman, only that one will be provoked, not those around it. They can be forced to climb ladders. They will navigate through mazes to kill you. They can shoot Endermen, unlike the player, but this will probably end up in the Enderman killing the Skeleton.

6. What happens when Skeletons kill a Creeper?

Answer: They will make the Creeper drop a music disk

However, this can be difficult to do because you have to get both to chase you, meaning you have to get the Creeper close enough but you can't let the Skeleton stop chasing you. However, you still can't let the Creeper blow up before the Skeleton's killed it. There are a number of traps you can build though.

7. What is the name of the achievement that you receive for killing a Skeleton from more than 50 metres away?

Answer: Sniper Duel

All of the other options are just achievements I made up. The Sniper Duel achievement can be obtained on both PS and PC. 50 blocks is very far actually, that's equal to 50 metres, and you have to do it horizontally!

8. Which of these does NOT damage a Skeleton?

Answer: Splash Potion of Harming

If you hit them with any item, they'll be hurt so being hit by Rotten Flesh is no different. Fire will hurt most mobs, including Skeletons. Healing potions will hurt them and harming potions will heal them, like other undead.

9. Which of these entities does NOT feature a Skeleton?

Answer: Chicken Jockey

Chicken Jockeys do exist but they're Zombies and Zombie Pigmen riding Chickens. Wither Skeletons are the Skeletons of the Nether (although Skeletons can still spawn in Nether Fortresses), Spiders have a 1/100 chance of spawning with a Skeleton on their back and Wither Skeleton Jockeys are even rarer.

10. A Skeleton is one of only how many mobs that spawn with a weapon by default?

Answer: 3

All three are the Wither Skeleton, the Zombie Pigman and, of course, the Skeleton. The Wither Skeleton spawns with a stone sword and a Zombie Pigman spawns with a gold sword.
