Scorpion stings are crafting materials used to make scorpion swords.

Obtaining

Mob drops

Manticores and scorpions drop up to 1 scorpion sting upon death. The drops are unaffected by the Looting enchantment. This can either be a dirt sting, cave sting, frost sting, or nether sting. The sting type varies depending on what type/color of manticore or scorpion was killed.

Usage

Attacking

Like any melee weapon, using a scorpion sting with will increase your damage to both mobs and players. Upon damaging a mob or player, the sting's durability will decrease by 1. However, the scorpion sting is a short-lived weapon, and should really be used as a last resort.

Attacking a boat or a minecart with a scorpion sting will instantly destroy it and will not decrease the sting's durability.

Effects

Like scorpion swords, each type of scorpion sting causes a different potion effect when it strikes an entity:

Name	Effect
Dirt Scorpion Sting	Afflicts the mob or player a Poison I effect for five seconds.
Cave Scorpion Sting	This sting gives the player/mob a nausea effect, which causes a wavy swirling screen effect for players, but it has no effect against mobs.
Frost Scorpion Sting	Slows down the mob or player affected.
Nether Scorpion Sting	Sets the mob/player on fire for a few seconds.
