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

== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
[[Skeleton]]s, [[wither skeleton]]s, [[skeleton horse]]s, [[bogged]], and [[stray]]s may drop 0–2 bones upon death. The maximum drop is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0-5 bones with [[Looting]] III.

{{IN|bedrock}}, [[salmon]], [[cod]], [[pufferfish]], and [[tropical fish]] have 25% chance to drop 1-2 bones upon death, or 2-3 for Looting I, 3-6 for Looting II, and 4-8{{verify|testing so far hasn't resulted in 8 bones, see talk page}} for Looting III.

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

== Usage ==
=== Helmet ===

While a [[bone]] cannot be equipped in the head slot in [[Survival]] mode, equipping it using commands causes it to appear in the [[player]]'s mouth.

=== Taming ===
Using a [[bone]] on a wild [[wolf]] has a {{frac|1|3}} chance of [[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 the tamed ones.

=== Crafting ingredient ===
A [[bone]] can be crafted into 3 [[bone meal]].
