I suddenly found an enchanted bow with Power I in my inventory. I did not craft it myself since I don't have an enchantment table. I'm playing on a private server with 2-3 friends and none of them made one either. And I'm pretty sure I did not find it in a chest somewhere. I just randomly found it. Lucky me! Now I would like to know where it came from 🙂
- Can mobs drop special items?
- If so, at what rate does it happen?
Best Answer
Zombies, skeletons and zombie pigmen each have a 2.5% chance of dropping a rare drop, if they drop, there is a 20% chance of it having an enchantment which would cost 5 levels in a enchanting table. Using a sword with the looting enchatement increases these chances.
Skeletons can drop bows, zombies can drop iron tools, helmets or ingots and zombie pigmen drop gold tools, helments or ingots.
