Description

**This datapack/mod adds 2 things that exist in bedrock edition but not java to achieve parity:** - makes skeletons do melee attacks while being underwater because arrows dont travel far if submerged - makes drowned do melee attacks with their trident if the player is within 3 blocks (normally in java edition in both cases the 2 mobs would only do ranged attacks) ![Submerged Skeleton doing melee attack](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/901a4faf241b14b0c84054d30558da7bfcb07cea_0.webp) ![Drowed doing melee and ranged attacks depending on distance](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/af5d60e24d2cbdcc2dd64fe7b28a7b9bb13fb19a.png)
