Tiny Skeletons
Tiny Skeletons (v8.0.1, by Fuzs — the same developer behind Mutant Monsters’ “Mutant Skeleton”) is a small, focused mod that adds shrunken Baby Skeleton, Baby Wither Skeleton, and Baby Stray variants of the three vanilla skeleton types. It ships no configuration file in this pack, so it runs on default behavior — the baby versions are presumably rarer, weaker, faster-moving reskins in the same spirit as vanilla’s baby zombies, rather than a threat upgrade.
The mod pairs with a separate small addon in this pack, Mutant Skeleton Armor Tweaks (v2.1.0, by Stalemated), which specifically patches Mutant Monsters’ Mutant Skeleton to properly support crossbows — this server’s mutant_skeleton_armor_tweaks.json has the leggings and boots equipment-effect tweaks enabled but leaves the chestplate’s draw-speed buff, crossbow tweak, and skull-multishot options disabled, keeping the mutant skeleton’s crossbow behavior closer to its original balance.
