I have a really simple grinder set up in my base. Mobs fall about 30 blocks on top of a hopper, which feeds to another hopper and finally to a chest.

But I'm not getting any bows from the skeletons! Any ideas why?

How do you get skeletons to drop a bow?

Four enchantments have been added: Flame, Punch, Power and Infinity. Skeletons now have a 2.5% chance of dropping a bow.

Can skeletons drop Infinity bows?

If the picked up item is a weapon, the skeleton uses the item as a melee weapon. In Bedrock Edition, skeletons can also pick up and equip illager banners worn in their chest slot. Skeletons spawn already-armed with bows, which may be enchanted.
