A bone is an item dropped by skeletons and Wither Skeletons upon death. It can also be found in chests hidden in Desert Temples or Jungle Temples

Contents

[edit] Uses

Using a bone on a wild Wolf has a 33% chance of taming. Bones cannot pacify an angry wolf.

Bones can be used to make Bone Meal, which serves two main purposes:

  • As a fertilizer, which grows many plants to their fully mature state after 2-5 uses.
  • As a crafting ingredient in Wool Dyes.

[edit] As a crafting material

Bone creates 3 Bone Meal when put in the crafting table. Bone meal can be used for dyes, and for growing plants more quickly.
