Template:Infobox block A skeleton skull is the Minecraft:head of a skeleton in the form of a Minecraft:block. It can be obtained from ancient cities or by killing a skeleton using a charged creeper's explosion.

Obtaining

Breaking

No tool can accelerate the breaking process of skeleton skull.<ref>Template:Bug</ref> Script error: No such module "breaking row". Skeleton skull drops itself when it's destroyed. When destroyed by an explosion, the skeleton skull always drops as an item.

Natural generation

Skeleton skulls can generate in ancient cities, which sometimes generate in the deep dark.

Mob loot

Skeleton heads are always dropped by a skeleton if it dies due to a charged creeper's explosion. in Template:Editions, if multiple mobs are killed by the same charged creeper, all of them drop their heads, however in Template:Editions only one mob selected at random drops its head.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Usage

Decoration

A skeleton skull can be oriented in 16 different directions on top of a block, and 4 directions on the sides of blocks, similar to Minecraft:signs. They can be placed on top of, or beside each other by shift clicking.

Wearing

{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote

The player can wear skeleton skulls, similarly to Minecraft:pumpkins or helmets. This overlays the second layer of the player's skin.

Disguise

Wearing a skeleton skull reduces the detection range for skeletons. This is similar to (and stacks with) the reductions in detection range from sneaking and from the Minecraft:Invisibility status effect.

in Template:Editions, wearing a skeleton skull makes the player invisible to other players on a locator Minecraft:map.

Dispensers

A Minecraft:dispenser can equip a skeleton skull on a player, mob, or armor stand with an empty helmet slot, within the block the dispenser is facing.
