Special Bones and Bone Meal are seven items added by Butchery. They are three bone types (Wither Bone, Icey Bone and Sculk Bone), each with a bone meal made from it at the Pestle and Mortar. Each bone meal has a single in-world effect on a specific block: Wither Bone Meal withers roses, Icey Bone Meal freezes water and Sculk Bone Meal spreads sculk over grass. Bones are also used in crafting, most notably for the Deep Smithing Template. The bones come from the cut-up drops of wither skeletons, strays and the Warden, so the horror mobs that drop them are the main source.

Obtaining

Bones are carcass-cut drops. Players use a cleaver on a mob carcass, and the cut-up drops are added as items. The bone types come from these sources:

• Wither Bone: wither skeleton cut-up drops (1 to 3, with Fortune applied). The first cut table also has a 5% chance for a wither rose. Wither heart drops also yield Wither Bone, with a 50% chance of 1 to 6.
• Icey Bone: stray cut-up drops, 2 per cut.
• Sculk Bone: Warden cut-up drops of up to 10 per cut, and the eyeless head breakdown, 1 to 6.

Crafting

Bones are pressed into bone meal at the Pestle and Mortar, a Butchery workstation. The recipe yields are listed in the table below.

Deep Smithing Template · Crafting

Sculk Bone is also a crafting ingredient for the Deep Smithing Template.

Loot and drops

Structure chests hold these items as added loot. Chance and average counts for each chest are listed in the table below.

Item	Chest loot table	Structures	Chance per chest	Avg. stack
Deep Smithing Template	minecraft:chests/ancient_city	Tavern	4.3%	1.0
Deep Smithing Template	minecraft:chests/illager_mansion/ancient_city_raid_chest	Mansion	4.0%	1.0

Butchery kills remove matching vanilla items near the death, including vanilla bone and bone meal. The Fear Nightfall pack reduces this removal radius from 20 blocks to 4 blocks, so only vanilla bone and bone meal within 4 blocks of the death are removed.

Usage

Each bone meal is used by right-clicking the target block with it in hand. Each use consumes one bone meal, except in Creative mode.

Wither Bone Meal

Wither Bone Meal works on a rose bush. The targeted block and the block beneath it must both be rose bush, so the upper half of the bush must be the one targeted.

• With a 20% chance, both halves are removed and a wither rose is placed in the lower position.
• With an 80% chance, both halves are removed, leaving air beneath, and the message "The rose withered and died.." is shown.

A wither rose is a hazardous flower, so the 20% outcome creates a dangerous block in the world.

Icey Bone Meal

Icey Bone Meal freezes water. The player looks at a water source block within 5 blocks, and that block is replaced with ice. The ice takes the same block-state properties as the water source where they apply. A snowflake particle effect plays on use.

Sculk Bone Meal

Sculk Bone Meal spreads sculk. It can be held in either hand and is used on a grass block. With a 20% chance, the grass block becomes sculk. Every use consumes one bone meal, whether or not the conversion happens.

Crafting ingredient

Sculk Bone is used in the following crafting recipes. Its uses are listed in the table below.
