A '''bone''' is an [[Minecraft:item]] primarily obtained from [[Minecraft:skeleton]]s and similar [[Minecraft:mobs]]. It can be crafted into [[Minecraft:bone meal]] or used to tame wild [[Minecraft:wolves]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
{{Drop sources|Bone}}

=== Generated loot ===
{{LootChestItem|bone}}

=== Fishing ===
Bones can be obtained by [[Minecraft:fishing]], as part of the junk category. The best chance of catching a bone is achieved without the [[Minecraft:Luck of the Sea]] enchantment, yielding a 1.1% chance.

== Usage ==
=== Crafting ingredient ===
A bone can be crafted into 3 [[Minecraft:bone meal]].
{{crafting usage}}

=== Taming ===
Using a bone on a wild [[Minecraft:wolf]] has a {{frac|1|3}} chance of [[Minecraft:taming]] it. Bones cannot tame a hostile wolf or a wolf that has already been tamed. However, bones can be used to attract the attention of already tamed wolves.

=== Helmet ===
{{exclusive|java|section=1}}
While a bone cannot be equipped in the head slot in [[Minecraft:Survival]] mode, equipping it compulsorily by using commands causes it to appear in the [[Minecraft:player]]'s mouth.
