It's quite likely that this is the same issue as MCPE-35072 or MCPE-37365, and that the issue will be fixed in a later release.
Some players have found that they were able to resolve the issue by reinstalling the game, so if you wanted to try that as a workaround, here is how:
Backup any data you don't want to lose, then try the following:
- Backup your MinecraftWorlds folder (if you want to save your worlds) (Device storage > games > com.mojang > minecraftWorlds)
- Uninstall Minecraft
- Delete the com.mojang folder (Device storage > games > com.mojang)
- Reinstall Minecraft
- Run Minecraft and if it works restore your MinecraftWorlds folder
Sometimes a clean install of the game will help with these kind of issues.

...add to this zombies don't drop iron, drowned stopped dropping gold & tridents.
I have this problem as well in the latest official version, I've tried all sorts of killing methods but the skeletons very rarely drops bones which is odd for this mob, killed like a hundred skeletons and only got one bone.
For those still experiencing this bug, please could you let us know the following:
• Device information
• Game version used
• Realm or singleplayer
• Any steps the preceded the drops not working correctly (eg when did you notice this happening?)
• If possible, please attach a copy of the world save
Same problem.
Playing on a Galaxy 9s
Android version 8.0.0
Minecraft version: 1.6.0
Hard single player
After taking a long break from minecraft (about a year) I've noticed a sharp decrease in the number of all types of monsters compared to my previous experience.
...and now guardians rarely drop crystals. If you want my game stats, look up my "duplicate bug post".
Bedrock 1.6.0.14
Galaxy tab s3 android 8.0.0
Skeletons droping a bone less than 1 in 20 skeletons killed.
It happened at the last update.
Ugh, without bones = no wheat auto = no cow auto = weak chicken farm = lame food = slower dig grind = my ultimate slime farm not finishing.
Thank you for your report!

It still happens in the latest version, skeletons still drop so little bones
Agreed. This affects not only skeletons but also spiders. I have killed tons of spiders and only accumulated 4 spider eyes and that is using a Looting III sword. Same with skeletons and throughout game cycle only obtained a handful of bones. It is almost as if Looting does not affect the drops. Conversely, I have killed a bunch of rabbits with a regular stone sword with no enchantments and have obtained 25 rabbits feet, almost one per kill, something that is statistically impossible. Something is definitely wrong with the drops mechanic.
Playing on Samsung Galaxy S6, skeletons not dropping bones, blaze don't drop blaze rods, endermen not dropping ender pearls and phantoms not dropping phantom membrane. Looting 3 enchantment is not working on most mobs.
version 1.6.1
This is frustrating, being without bones for over a month. If it helps to solve issue at all: I built a general mob farm, in which mobs spawning naturally are killed by magma blocks, not the player. I do seem to be getting bone drops from that, so I suspect it's a killed by player issue.
Actually, disregard last comment. I just did extensive testing on vs player kill and passive kill. Both appeared the same drop rate, both very low on pixel2, but about the same.
This is true, I have same problems on my OnePlus 6 MCPE. I've build skeleton xp farm, and actually I get pity amounts of bones, while a lot of unnecessary bows. Please fix it, because it ruins my whole gameplay.
Skeleton bone drops seem to be fixed on my end. SSP 1.7 Update
Got more bones in 5 minutes of testing than 4 hours in 1.6.x
Although this bug wasn't mentioned in the change log, this bug appears to have been fixed as of 1.7.0. This report has therefore been temporarily closed as Awaiting Response.
Is this still an issue in the latest version (1.7.0) or later? If so, please comment with your device, the version you're using, and a brief explanation. This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.
Version 1.0.7.13 on a Pixel2. Right after update all of a sudden bones were dropping just fine. I've been playing for a while now and all of a sudden drops are messed up again. Endermen hardly drop pearls, zombie pigmen stopped flesh and gold bars, skeletons stopped bones. I've tried with and without looting3 sword. Neither works.
Something to look into that may attribute: check if mob cap has effect. My entities are usually full due to an infinite villager spawner. Maybe this effects drop entity rates?
My last comment tentatively confirmed on my end.
I finally got a thunderstorm, turned villagers to witches and killed them all, freeing up entity cap. I then went to skeleton farm and they were dropping bones again. I also checked pigmen farm, which is way outside of simulation distance, and they started dropping flesh again.
For anyone else with this problem: try freeing up entity cap (killing mobs, extra villagers, cows, cave lighting, etc.) Apparently simulation distance doesn't matter, there's some kind of world entity cap.
I have the same problem, found a skeleton spawner and made a grinder out of it. It worked great for maybe 3 hours and then out of nowhere no drops at all. Tried using a looting 3 sword but no difference. Also tried reducing the amount of mobs around till the area was completely empty but no change. Can confirm that it's happening on two different devices at the moment. HTC u11 and OnePlus 5t both on 1.0.7.13. both survials mode on hard.
David: Thank you for searching first before creating a new ticket! However, I think your problem may not be the same as this one. You say your skeletons are dropping nothing at all, while in this ticket the skeletons were reported to be dropping normally, except for bones. In addition, this ticket was closed when its reporter and other commenters above confirmed that it was fixed in 1.7.0.
If you are actually getting some drops, but no bones, please comment below so we can reopen this ticket.
Otherwise, if you really are getting no drops at all as you stated, please search again for a closer match. If you can't find one, feel free to create a new report using the suggestions in the Issue Guidelines. If might also be helpful to attach a copy of your world, if possible.
