Withered Bones and Stray bones

Skeletons drop regular bones, but weirdly, so as Wither and Stray skeletons.

So why not make Wither Skeletons and Stray skeletons drop Wither bones and Stray bones? The bones could have their own unique abilities or they could be used to craft new useful and interesting items!

Here are LOTS of ideas of what they could they do:

Wither bones could make Withered Bone meal, and that type of bone meal does the opposite of what regular bone meal does, which basically kill and wither plants.

Since we have bone blocks, why not make withered bone blocks? It would probably have no use at all (unless you guys at Mojang could think of a use) but it would just make sense for them to exist.

 

If you guys add withered bone blocks, remember those hidden-underground dinosaur-like structures from 1.10 that were made of bone blocks? maybe you could add a hidden structure in the nether that is made of withered bone blocks? 

Withered Bones could be used to craft the wither rose that was recently added in the 1.14 snapshots.

 

The same ideas could be done with Stray bones, But with the slowness effect.

    Neat idea. I think that the Withered Bones could also be used as a potion ingredient to make a Potion of Decay.

    The new nether update is perfect for this. It has regular bone fossils. could be changed to withered bones.

    I was thinking of this too!! But wither bone meal should grow nether warts and maybe weeping and twisted vines

    It could also grow some new crop with a cool use that will come in the nether update

    I like this idea, especially the Wither Bones stuff, the Stray thing I'm not sure unless they are unique and their bone meal have uses and bone block look colder and frozen design to normal bone

    I agree. Withered bones should be able to be crafted into a bonemeal variant which grows nether-vegetation like netherwart. It could be used to kill overworld plants. Also, stray bone-bonemeal could frost an area of grass or stop plants from growing (while not killing them). I like your ideas! These are what I thought of.
