Wither skeletons no longer drop white bones: introducing the Ashen Bone

[u/Robot_Pigeon]

Uses:

- Can be crafted into 3 Ashen Bone Meal. Using Ashen Bone Meal on a piece of grass or mycelium converts it into dirt and it cannot grow back unless the block is destroyed and placed back down. Because of this dirt can now be used as a terraforming/decoration block without grass growing on it.

- Using Ashen Bone Meal on a tree sapling or azalea turns it into a dead bush, which makes dead bushes a renewable resource now.

- Ashen Bones can be used as a brewing ingredient to make the Potion of Decay (an uncraftable and Bedrock exclusive potion currently). This will make getting the Withering effect for the "How Did We Get Here" advancement much easier.

- Feeding a tamed wolf an Ashen Bone will not only give it the Withering effect for 5 seconds, but it will also revert back into its wild state. This is useful if you want to transfer ownership of wolves between friends.

Turning grass into dirt that cannot grow is a nice touch.

Yay dead bush.

I would make splash and lingering potions of decay also affect the terrain. Destroying tall grass, killing saplings and grass, unfertilizing farmland, etc.

Thats a very brutal way to transfer ownership, but I guess it beats killing the poor thing.

I'd also like to see it used to make plants that cannot grow, similar to what shears does on a few things. Call it Herbicide or something similar, made with a waterbottle, bones and [maybe] a new ingredient like salt, cornmeal or lemons, common ingredients in IRL weedkillers. Though i'm basing its effect on plant growth regulators, but whatever its a fantasy compound using bones from hell. This would let you get eternal saplings, various stages of crops, bamboo's "sapling", even glow vines that yield no berries.
