Skull cups are rather sinister-looking items that are made from real skulls! They can be placed on most solid surfaces. This is one of the items which can hold a variety of different kinds of drinks. Right click on a barrel of the drink that you wish to fill the cup with, and then either place it down on a solid block, or drink it by holding down right click.

Right clicking on a placed skull cup will make you drink it instantly. Also, you can right-click an empty vessel with a full one in your hand, or vice versa to transport the fluids to and from each other. They appear as a regular Minecraft skull flipped upside down that is mounted on a goblet base.

When you drink from a skull cup, you will gain the achievement "Sick Joke".

Obtaining[]

One way to obtain skull cups is by looting. They are often found in all faction Orc Tents, Rhudaur Hillman Villages, Dol Guldur Towers, and Dunlending Houses. If you don't like to steal skull cups from buildings, and would rather smelt some tin and get a skull, then you can craft your own. Skulls are much more common in the Mod, than in Vanilla Minecraft, as they can be obtained as a mob drop, can be found in treasure chests, or as decorative item mostly around Orcish structures like their camps.

Various evil mobs, such as Orcs and Rhudaur Hillman will rarely drop these as well.

To craft skull cups, use the following pattern on a vanilla crafting table:
