Better Withered Mobs FAQ

Kill Wither Skeletons in the Nether—they now drop Withered Bones instead of regular bones. You can also find them by killing other withered mobs, or check your config file if drops seem disabled.

Yes. The recipe is reversible: 9 Withered Bone Meal can be crafted back into 1 Withered Bone, so you won't waste resources if you over-mill.

Withered Bone Meal only works on Warped Nylium and Crimson Nylium—it won't affect regular dirt or other Nether blocks. Make sure you're using it on the correct block type.

It grows Warped/Crimson Fungus, Brown/Red Mushrooms, and Wither Roses on their respective Nylium types, each with different drop chances.

Brew a Wither Rose with an Awkward Potion in a brewing stand, just like any other potion. The recipe supports regular, splash, and lingering variants.

By default yes, but you can disable this in the config file if you find it too difficult or want to change the spawn behavior.

Only from withered mobs and mobs from the Better Nether mod (like Naga and Skull). Regular overworld skeletons still drop normal bones.

Kill Wither Skeletons for bones, convert them to meal at a 1:3 ratio, then use the meal to grow Wither Roses on Nylium for a renewable source of Wither Roses and more bones.

Mostly yes, but they're also used as a crafting ingredient—combine one with a Poppy to create a Wither Rose, which is essential for brewing Potions of Decay.

Check your config file to disable Withered Bones drops if needed; the mod is designed to be configurable for compatibility with other mods that modify loot tables.
