Duplicate of MCPE-670.
2 of these issues are already tracked at MCPE-670 and MCPE-16209, but the strafing and shooting too fast isn't a valid parity issue as that was introduced in Java 1.9 whereas parity issues are only accepted for Java 1.15/Bedrock 1.14 and above.
Looks like a duplicate of MCPE-670

Oh, so that's what was making them bad shots!
Is that first image MCPE? There's chiseled stone, spawn eggs, and you have a custom skin. The grass also looks more MC than MCPE.
@JD I think he's showing the normal placement of the skeleton arms in the first image
This is a feature, it's an animation.If you go to 3rd person view, use a bow and fire it. your arm will look the same.
The arrows do seem to usually go off to the one direction.
I've noticed that the skeletons try to point their bow at you. Sometimes I see them point at my feet or arm.
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
Cleaning up all the old issues - please reply if this affects 0.9.3.
This should be marked as WAI
And this also affect 1.10 and the latest beta.
And I don't think this is a java parity request. This was a feature in the game in 0.14.0 but in 0.15.0 a bug happened and changed back the arm position.
@John Doe no, that is 1.4 or 1.3 java edition.
Algunas cosas como los cofres son invisibles por favor arreglen eso
Hope this will be fixed in the next update.
The right animation.png and wrong animation.png shows the opposite of each other which is wrong and should be the right animation.png the wrong and wrong animation.png the right. On the 3rd picture, the stray has the right arm position but skeleton not.
It happens on 1.16.0.63 skeleton don’t take bow correctly
i hope they'll fix it for the next update please
leo: Please do not comment unless you have new information to add to the ticket.
Affects on 1.16.0.64 and i bet on 1.16.0.65 (66,67,68,69,70) also in the final version
Affects 1.16.0.66
Affects 1.16.0.67
Affects 1.16.0.68 😭😭
confirmed for 1.16.0
affects 1.16.20.50
Skeletons should have this attacking animation according to minecraft java edition IMG_2048.TRIM.MOV
Affects 1.16.1
still happening in 1.16.1
An easy, albeit imperfect fix for this is hilariously simple: in skeleton.entity.json, move line 58 ("skeleton_attack" in animation controllers) up above line 55 ("bow_and_arrow"). This fixes the bow aiming animation to match strays' without breaking the melee attack animation.
Thats related to a different parity
Affects 1.16.210.60
Apparently fixed in 1.17.30 beta
Can you provide a video or screenshot? on 1.17.30 beta?
Well boys, we did it
This was fixed but the bow charging animation is still missing.
