Why Skeletons Have Quivers

This pack adds visible arrow quivers to skeleton and stray models, solving the logical question of where their endless arrows come from. The quiver appears on the skeleton's back as part of the model, making their infinite ammunition supply visually consistent with the game world.

Visual Design

The quivers are designed to match vanilla Minecraft's art style while adding practical detail. Standard skeletons, strays, and all variants (villager skeletons, piglin skeletons, and piglin wither skeletons) display their own quiver designs appropriate to their type.

Gameplay Impact

The quivers are purely cosmetic—they don't affect skeleton behavior, arrow drop rates, or combat mechanics. Skeletons still fire arrows at the same rate and drop the same loot. The quivers simply make the visual presentation more immersive by explaining where their projectiles originate, enhancing the pack's overall coherence with vanilla aesthetics.
