Getting Started with Overlord

In modern versions (1.18.2 and 1.19.2), the process of raising a skeleton involves a ritual using a Casket and a Grave Marker rather than a single block interface.

The Ritual Process

1. Prepare the Site: Dig a 2x2 area in the ground.
2. Place the Casket: Craft a Casket and place it inside the 2x2 hole.
3. Set the Marker: Place a Grave Marker on top of the Casket. Ensure the grave has a clear view of the sky.
4. Add Ingredients: Right-click the Casket to add the necessary materials:
   • 64 Bones: The physical framework
   • 2 Milk Buckets: To strengthen the bone structure
   • Equipment: Any armor or weapons you want the skeleton to spawn with
5. The Awakening: The skeleton will spawn automatically at Midnight (in-game time). To speed up the growth of a newly spawned skeleton, feed it additional milk.

The Overlord's Seal

Before your skeletons will obey you, you must craft an Overlord's Seal.

• Claiming: Hold the Seal and right-click. It will begin to glow, indicating it is bound to you
• Usage: Any skeleton created while a bound Seal is in the Casket (or used on them) will recognize you as their master
