Additions

Skeletons can now walk, strafe and shoot at the same time.
- Skeletons walk away from players when too close to the player and towards the player when too far. They will also sprint towards you when very far away.
Skeletons now have new idle sounds.
Now can spawn along with Skeletal Horses during a thunderstorm.
- Spawned Skeletons along with Skeletal Horses always have at least a bow and an iron helmet.
  - Iron helmets have these chances to have these enchants based on 12 skeletal riders. They have a 24.9% chance of spawning with Protection I, 24.9% chance of spawning with Unbreaking I, 16.6% chance of spawning with Fire Protection I, 24.9% chance of spawning with Projectile Protection I, 8.3% chance of spawning with Blast Protection I, 8.3% chance of spawning with Aqua Affinity I, 8.3% chance of spawning with Projectile Protection II and 16.6% chance of spawning with 2 enchants.
  - Bows have these chances to have these enchants based on 12 skeletal riders. They have a 8.3% chance of spawning with Unbreaking I, 91.3% chance of spawning with Power I.

Skeleton horses may spawn from natural lightning strikes.
- Chance depends on regional difficulty: 3.75–7.5% chance on Easy, 7.5–20% chance on Normal, 11.25–33.75% chance on hard.
- When a player gets near, a lightning bolt strikes them and they turn into 3 skeletal horses when in Easy difficulty, and 4 skeletal horses when in Normal difficulty or higher, each ridden by a skeleton with an enchanted iron helmet and bow.
- Can be activated using the NBT tag SkeletonTrap:1b

Skeletal Horses that are spawned from a thunder storm can now be ridden in survival by putting a saddle on them if you kill the skeleton riding it instead of the horse itself.

Slightly improved drop chances for seeds (average 1 5⁄7 per crop harvested instead of 1 3⁄5).
Slightly improved drop chances for potatoes and carrots (average 2 5⁄7 per crop harvested instead of 2 3⁄5).
Greatly improved drop chances for beetroot seeds (average 2 per crop harvested instead of 4⁄5).

Fire goes out less often in the rain (chance of going out each fire tick is 0−45% depending on the "age" property).
