About this Mod

SkeletonBowChance

SkeletonBowChance is a simple mod that adds a configurable chance for skeletons to spawn with bows.

I made this mod because skeletons are disproportionately strong compared to other mobs. This mod is designed to bring them to where you feel they are balanced.

Frequently Asked Questions

SkeletonBowChance server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong neoforge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is SkeletonBowChance compatible with neoforge?

SkeletonBowChance officially supports neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with SkeletonBowChance – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if SkeletonBowChance consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
