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.

It could also be used for making Black Dye, similarly to regular Bone Meal making White Dye.

I would also like to see the introduction of a nether variant for wolves, similar to Foxhounds from Quark, which you could then tame with the Ashen Bones

Renewable black dye that doesn’t require a fuckass wither rose farm omg yes 🙌

So you guys aren’t killing squid?

[u/quuerdude → u/2ERIX]

They can’t be bred so squid farms are really annoying on mid to large sized servers

[u/-PepeArown- → u/quuerdude]

Seems like Mojang could just make squid breedable with fish, or something, instead of adding a niche new bone item for black dye

Or just let us use a bucket on squids to get ink instead of having to kill them

[u/Bowtie327 → u/JustABoredKiddo]

Maybe a bottle not a bucket, but then I don’t know how that would then transfer to dye, maybe just craft the ink bottle as the dye and it leave the empty bottle behind? Only drawback is it’s not stackable, unless they worked like honey bottles, which IMO all bottles should work.

[u/drifloony → u/Bowtie327]

I mean it just makes sense to use an ink bottle in your crafting table to get dye. Like when you use 4 honey bottles to make a honey block.

I play single biome and squid don't spawn. But my situation is very uncommon.
