Player Heads

Ever PVP someone and get no good loot? Feel like you deserve a trophy for your victory? Then PlayerHeads is right for you! You can now lop off enemies heads in battle, and mount it on a pole for all to fear. Or wear your opponent's face as a mask, like camouflage!

Notes

Join us on irc at: irc://esper.net/PlayerHeads
If you want more mobs supported send me 1 MC giftcode per mob type!
PlayerHeads is now translatable! Add files to your config folder in the format: "lang_[language]_[country]_[variant].properties", ex: "lang_fr_FR.properties" for a French translation.
lang files will change between releases, when updating be sure to delete the old file if you haven't edited it.
If you've given people the * permission node, they will get 100% drop rates. If you don't want this to happen, also give them the negative nodes: -playerheads.alwaysbehead and -playerheads.alwaysbeheadmob
If you want to disable head drops in a specific world, use your permission plugin to add the following negative nodes for that specific world: -playerheads.canbehead and -playerheads.canbeheadmob
Spawn mob heads with the following names: #creeper #zombie #skeleton #wither #spider #enderman #blaze #horse #squid #silverfish #enderdragon #slime #irongolem #mushroomcow #bat

TODO / Known bugs

Renamed heads (with an anvil) don't stay renamed after placing and mining them.
If custom mob heads get destroyed from flowing water they will temporarily loose their custom display title.
If you're using NoCheatPlus (or some other equivalent), mining custom mob heads (blaze, enderman, spider) will most likely throw a "fastbreak" error and not let the player mine the head.

Sourcecode

I've included the .java files inside every jar download, or access it via github:
https://github.com/meiskam/PlayerHeads

Not sure if this is the sort of thing that will help new heads be developed, but it has helped me and hopefully will help other users of this plugin:

/ph spawn Eagle_Peak - sheep

/ph spawn firebad12 - ocelot

/ph spawn timgrturbo - chicken

/ph spawn socreth - mooshroom

/ph spawn tmccr24 - pig

/ph spawn VerifiedBernard - cow

/ph spawn SethJohnson555 - zombiepigman

/ph spawn SA_KING - ghast

Love the new heads! Any way we can get an option for to separate click infos? I want it to show for player heads, but not mob heads.

Example:
pkclickinfo: true
mobclickinfo: false

Hope you take up on my idea and keep up the great work! Thanks for an amazing plugin!

I've opened up translation of this plugin to crowdsourcing, even 1 line translated is helpful. Please do not use automated translators.

@austin101: Go

Yes, that's correct. If you'd like the drop rates to be higher, feel free to adjust the defaults. On my server (which the defaults are based off of) dropped heads are a rare gift to be proud of, not something that drops every day.
