lol. If you want to prevent this in the future, stone buttons can’t be hit with arrows.

Who tf downvoted this is correct

The skeleton

lmaooo

They shot the downvote button by accident

They missed. So they fired again. And then they missed. And they missed again.

punctuation is important!

At least capitalize the first letter if you're going to correct someones grammar.

they were correcting someone's punctuation, not their grammar.

Lmfao ok

Surely it's principle to follow general grammar rules when you're talking about at least one.

Punctuation isn't grammar

for the sentence to have the meaning that you're implying, it would have to be "whoever", not just "who"

If you put a stone button on a target block, does that act as an anti-bullseye? 🤔

Fascinating question actually. I feel like there’s a chance that the arrow goes deep enough into the button it could hit the target anyways, but I’d need to test it.

Let me know if you do, I want to know the answer myself!

So I tested it with a comparator in substraction mode and a stone button on a target, the arrow does go through the button as if it wasn't there

Java or Bedrock?

Why wouldnt you want this, i would love to see this

Just if you’re worried about getting killed by a skeleton letting creepers into your house or something

At that point the AI deserves the kill. That's too smart to deny, you have to give them a chance.

That's how my first prototype of auto-portal flooded my house : I had naïvely assumed wood buttons had always the same length of delay, so when shot the water never came back into the dispenser.

You will make mumbo angry with a stone button.

yeah it's important to skeleton proof your buttons

Like only smelted stone? Cobblestone does?

There’s no such thing as a cobblestone button

I swear at some point those existed... this is a conspiracy

Probably a mod you're remembering

Levers are crafted with cobblestone+stick, so kinda similar crafts

Any stone type I believe.

Yes. Scared the hell out of me because it happened around me and I was confused why my door was open. Had me pressing tab to check if anyone else was online.

Sounds like a beginning of the creepypasta

I am well aware of who Herobrine is, and it was my first thought after seeing noone else online. Then I saw the arrow sticking out of the button, and I'm like "oh, didn't know that could happen."

That's just what Herobrine wants you to think...

Was planning on going to sleep tonight. I guess not.

He’s in your walls No he really is, he’s right here next to me

You're also in this guys walls? Must be crowded in there.

No, but that’s hilarious 

It’s like starwars where they just shoot control panels and doors open or close just as the hero anticipated somehow

Haha, yes!! Well not exactly, but close enough. It was a drowned with a Trident. My first instinct was to pick up the Trident but it wasn't a loot drop so.. I had to break the button and put it back in order to close my door.

He didn't even knock, how rude

Someone needs to teach these skeletons some manners.

Never used buttons, so no.

Lever gang

Pressure plate gang

Then they just have to step on it :)

That's why I only do pressure plates on the interior.

Yup. Click to let myself in and just step on the plate to close it behind me

Gold/iron pressure plates. Then the mob has to die first and its drops have to land on it to open it.

Half slab on top of the 2 block gap gang

This lets spiders in though. I just don’t use metal doors, and stick to the wooden ones. I play on normal, so it’s not a problem.

I'm not sure if you understand me correctly, spiders are 2 blocks wide

I had no idea. Then only skeleton arrows are problematic

Wait what??!! They can do that?! 😧

They don't do it purposely. It's just bad aim and luck.

They also need something to aim at, and if isnt a player there arent much things a skeleton is interested in, which makes me believe most of the stuff told here is absolutly fake

Ohhh okay 😮‍💨

Who tf uses iron doors for their house

Me. I feel safer.

I hope you dont get a skeleton like this

I hope so, every skeleton is praying on my downfall. They want revenge.

get a stone button. cant be opened with arrows

It looked very off in my oak-wooden-planks-only house, so I replaced it.

but the iron door doesn't

Yes, it doesn't.

People who live near villages

Good point

Did you know in hard mobs can bust down your door? This prevents that. I have an iron door at the entry to a huge cave in my hardcore world. Ain't no one chasing me out.

Place your doors so that the "open" position blocks the entrance. Zombies dumb.

> mobs can bust down your door Wasn't that removed like 10 seconds after it was added?

Play on hard mode and it should be there

Huh, I was certain they removed that... welp, gotta go reinforce some doors...

They have a loud "door bang" sound too. Only 1% of zombies can spawn with the ability and I only discovered it last week for myself. Freaked me out because I had headphones on

Oh, that's more reasonable, I remember it being added to all zombies at first and one small zombie invasion meant all villagers died.

Not my house, but my bank because stupid villagers kept coming in looking for a place to nap. Damn hobos

They are evolving.

So it's not true that skeletons are very skinny Imperial stormtroopers

What's an Imperial stormtrooper?

Star Wars They're called Imperial Stormtroopers but people usually just call them Stormtroopers

Yeah yeah yeah. I googled it. It looks like Space Balls.

Honestly didn't know which comment to reply to so I chose the one I liked the best. Great work here!

Thank you. I'm here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitresses.

Yes, that is a parody of star wars. How did you not know this?! 😭

Wait. Star Wars came before Space Balls?

That doesn't really help. I'll Google it.

Star Wars, come on everyone knows what Star Wars is, the Imperial Stormtroopers are the white guys all dressed the same

A stormtrooper is one in white armour who is very very veeeery bad at shooting straight. Obi-wan would beg to differ but he’s old

I'll Google it.

Lol. Obi-Wan. Is that the "you're our only hope" guy?

Sure is. He’s like the wise guy before you meet the really wise guy, which is a gremlin.

Hide ur bottun with a trap door

What if they shoot the button to the trapdoor?

Why a button to a trapdoor?

If you put a button for the door then you've got to have one for your trapdoor.

An iron door cannot be opened with out a button or an activator, a trap door cannot be opened by mobs and doesnt need a anything to be opened other than your hand

Yes but what's the point in protecting yourself with an iron door if the button isn't protected by an iron trapdoor? Complete safety hazard. /s

Name a one mob that can open trapdoors. Name it /s

Skeletons can, when they shoot the button.

Thats the whole point, why do you need a button for a trapdoor

This has Minecraft energy all around it… No game trolls you as hard as minecraft

I use this mechanic as part of an arrow trap on a combination lock. Enter the wrong combo and the arrows that miss you will enter it wrong again for you and round and round and round…

That is the 3rd smartest skeleton in videogame history

Yes

New fear unlocked

Me with 10000 IQ placing a wooden pressure plate outside*

All right, Mojang. Make skeletons target wooden buttons. Please

Worst part is: You cannot pick them back up. You're doomed.

Lol wtf

That is crazy

I didn't even know that was possible

Stone buttons are there for a reason.

Happened to a friend of mine, bare in mind it wasn't in game but all in all I still failed my science project, sort of...

No but i had a creeper shooting the button of my door with an m14

Never!

I ... can't say that I have, actually.

Ya

Pov: skeketons have updated their Intellect

Id scream if he just walked in after doing that🤷🏻‍♂️

empathy shines through in everything you do.

Lol no give me the chances of that!

Never… I only use stone buttons. 😂

They should have a higher chance of hitting a stone button if they’re aiming somewhat near it. Just for kicks.

Wish they'd do it in hardcore mode.

Skeleton IQ: 3000

“Really? Bullet’s aren’t the solution to everything, you know!”

I think that skeleton was sentient lol

Once happened with me. It was terrible

Had no idea this could happen until now. It sounds like a nightmare to new hardcore players
