Makes Skeletons that are underwater and trident drowneds less than 3 blocks away from the player do melee instead of ranged attacks, like in bedrock edition

Description

This datapack 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

Drowed doing melee and ranged attacks depending on distance
