FAQ

How is the wall skull different from the standing skull?

Only in placement orientation and block state; both come from the same dropped item and behave identically otherwise.

What tool do I need to mine a wall skull?

None. No tool speeds up breaking it, and it always drops itself.

Does the wall skull work for summoning the Wither?

Yes, it functions the same as the standing skull for that purpose.

Can I get a wall skull directly from a mob?

No. Wither skeletons drop the item form; the wall state only appears once it is placed against a vertical surface.
