There are multiple ways to do this.
- adjust the drop chance in the same command when giving them the bow and repair the bow as long as the skeleton has it
- set the drop chance to 0 and give it a custom death loot table (which would be better because you don't have to worry about the bow durability)

how i can adjust the drop chances ?
quasi stump
Like this for example:
summon skeleton ~ ~ ~ {HandItems:[{id:"minecraft:bow",count:1,components:{"minecraft:enchantments":{levels:{"minecraft:power":10}}}}],HandDropChances:[0.5F,0.085F]}
The tag at the end determines the chance. The first value is the mainhand and the second value is the offhand. 0F - 1F is equal to 0% - 100%.
There are also special values:
- 2 for a 100% drop chance with an undamaged tool.
- -327.67 to disable the looting enchantment for that item.

Like this for example:
```mcf

how it would be in this command : item replace entity @s weapon.mainhand with minecraft:bow{Enchantments:[{id:"power",lvl:10}],Damage:0} ?

Didn't you do it with data merge?
It is entity nbt, so you have to modify the nbt with data merge or data modify.
data merge entity <the selector to the entity> {HandDropChances:[0.5F,0.085F]}

this is the full command : data merge entity @s {CustomName:'{"text":"Esqueleto de la muerte","color":"red"}'}
item replace entity @s weapon.mainhand with minecraft:bow{Enchantments:[{id:"power",lvl:10}],Damage:0}
quasi stump
add HandDropChances:[0.5F,0.085F], in front of the CustomName tag.
nova onyx
add `HandDropChances:[0.5F,0.085F],` in front of the `CustomName` tag.
i don´t get it
in front of :'{"text":"Esqueleto de la muerte","color":"red"}'} ?
quasi stump
data merge entity @s {HandDropChances:[0.5F,0.085F], CustomName:'{"text":"Esqueleto de la muerte","color":"red"}'}
nova onyx
done, that´s it? or we are missing something else?
quasi stump
That's it. You only have to adjust the value to what you think works best.
nova onyx
and drop it at maximum durability?
quasi stump
if you set it to 2 yes
nova onyx
like this?
quasi stump
yes
nova onyx
what would it be like if I wanted the probability of the skeleton dropping the bow to be 3% and dropping it with full durability?
nova onyx
i tried my best, but now the skeleton always drop the bow
at least the bow is fully repaired
quasi stump
because you set it to 2. That's why.
nova onyx
the first 2f is for the durability?
quasi stump
no the first is for the mainhand.
nova onyx
no the first is for the mainhand.
so i leave it like that?
quasi stump
There are also special values:
- 2 for a 100% drop chance with an undamaged tool...
2 is just a special value, as I said before in this message
quasi stump
so i leave it like that?
yes
quasi stump
HandDropChance is an array (an array is basically a list) with 2 float (a float is a real number) values. In your case, the values are 2 (100% drop chance with full durability) for the main hand and 0.2 (20%) for the offhand.
nova onyx
got it, i will try, give me a minute
nova onyx
HandDropChance is an array (an array is basically a list) with 2 float (a float ...
so, now the chances of dropping the bow are of 20%?
quasi stump
Do they have the bow in the offhand? I don't think so.
nova onyx
but it still droppping the bow with random durability
nova onyx
Do they have the bow in the offhand? I don't think so.
so, it should be like this?
quasi stump
If you want them to drop with a 20% chance, yes.
nova onyx
If you want them to drop with a 20% chance, yes.
and, if i want them to drop with a 3% chance it would be 0,03?
quasi stump
yes
quasi stump
That's the restriction when you want to control it via the HandDropChances tag.
If you want more control, you have to create a custom loot table or modify the default one if all skeletons get modified.

And how do I create a custom loot table?
quasi stump
Best way is to use misode.
There are even presets for the vanilla loot tables.
You can load the skeleton loot table and add the bow to it.
nova onyx
i think i made it
