How to Use This Mod With Looting and Other Enchantments

Does Looting matter with this mod?

No. Because the mod forces a skull drop on every wither skeleton kill, Looting, Looting III, and similar enchantments do not increase your skull count. You will still get exactly one skull per kill regardless of your sword. This means you can use any weapon you like, including an axe or a bow, and still receive skulls.

What still helps your farm

• Smite and Sharpness reduce the number of hits needed per skeleton, which speeds up farming.
• Fire Aspect and Flame can finish skeletons off, but the skull still drops because the mod checks the kill, not the damage type.
• Sweeping Edge on a sword can hit multiple skeletons at once, and each one that dies still drops a skull.
• A bow or crossbow lets you kill skeletons from a distance, which is safer around blazes and ghasts.

Combining with other quality-of-life mods

If you use a modpack that bundles this mod with other QoL mods, skull farming becomes even simpler. Mods that increase mob spawn rates, reduce mob damage, or add inventory sorting all work alongside it. The mod does not change wither skeleton spawn rates or their other drops, so coal and stone swords still drop as normal. If you are building a beacon farm, this mod removes the biggest bottleneck, which is collecting enough skulls to summon multiple Withers.
