Stray Spawn Egg
minecraft:stray_spawn_eggThe Stray Spawn Egg instantly summons a Stray, a skeletal mob variant found only in snowy biomes that wears tattered blue-gray clothing and speaks with an echoing voice. Strays shoot arrows tipped with Slowness, immobilizing their target for up to 30 seconds on impact.
FAQ
Can you spawn a Stray using a regular skeleton spawn egg?
No. Strays cannot be produced from a standard skeleton spawn egg in snowy biomes; they require their own dedicated spawn egg item.
What makes Strays unique compared to regular skeletons?
Strays have their own echoing sound set, fire exclusively Slowness-tipped arrows, and are immune to freezing damage even while standing in powder snow.
How long does it take for a skeleton to convert into a Stray naturally?
A regular skeleton must remain in powder snow for roughly 22 seconds total, about 7 seconds of shaking followed by 15 more seconds, before it fully transforms into a Stray.
Do Strays drop anything special when killed?
Yes, Strays uniquely drop bones and Arrows of Slowness in addition to regular arrows and occasional equipment, distinguishing their loot from ordinary skeletons.
