Scorpion Sting

Scorpion stings are crafting materials used to make scorpion swords.

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.

Attacking
Like any melee weapon, a scorpion sting 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:
