Skeleton Homestead

Obtaining Edit

After destroying at least one Nether Portal (post-night beacon), it provides access to the Skeleton Homestead on the map, as identified by the Skeleton icon on said map. Upon arriving there, a piglin count will appear on the screen, which signifies how many piglins need to be taken down. With the necessary piglins defeated, the nether portal at the encampment would need to be taken down. Once this is done, the Skeleton spawner will be unlocked within the spawners hotbar. Keep in mind that diamond is necessary to create Skeletons so a gather diamond improvement would also has to have been built.

Spawning Edit

Like with Zombies and Creepers, Skeletons spawn naturally in the Overworld.


The player can also spawn them with Skeleton Spawners, costing 2 diamonds and 2 lapis in campaign and 10 diamond and 8 lapis in versus. They require one flame of creation in both modes.

Forging an alliance at the Skeleton Homestead

"The tundra-native skeletons are excellent archers that are best suited to the far edges of the battlefield. Why do skeletons wear armor? Some say they have felt a war coming for a long time. Others say it's the result of a particularly rattling blow to the head. One is more likely than the other."
