DropHeads
DropHeads
Let the head hunt begin!
Using high quality textures 85% supplied by Minecraft-Heads.com ❤️
Highlights
- Super configurable
- Heads as a loot drop, or with a command
- Huge variety (e.g., snow fox, lime sheep, zombified swamp farmer villager, …)
- Behead messages and translation support
- Regularly updated heads from the latest Minecraft snapshots
- Complete API for other developers to hook into
Configuration
Default values picked to fit well on most servers,
However, if you like getting into configuration, here's just a taste of what you can do:
- Adjust drop rates based on mob type
- Adjust drop rates based on ticks-lived
- Adjust drop rates based on what weapon is used
- Adjust drop rates based on spawn conditions (Breeding, Spawners, /summon, ...)
- Require using specific weapon(s) to get heads to drop
- Enabling charged creeper head drops
- Change any head textures, or add your own
- Optionally require killed by a player (configurable what counts as 'killed by a player')
- Opt-in automatic updates
- ...and more! Check out config files in the GitHub repository

Troubleshooting / F.A.Q.
Q: Heads are not dropping!
A: There a many possible causes; here is a quick checklist of things you should try:
* Check if another plugin is causing the issue (compatibility)
* Check if you have the dropheads.canbehead permission
* Check head-drop-rates and spawn-cause-modifiers configs (e.g. spawn egg rates are nerfed!)
* Keep in mind the time-alive, weapon-used, and looting modifiers.
* If killing a player, check if they have the dropheads.canlosehead permission
* If you have modified your config files, check them carefully for other causes
Q: Does this plugin cause lag?
A: It shouldn't! I hear it is much faster than Xisumavoid's datapack :)
Q: Can I edit the head textures (i.e., to match a resource pack)?
A: Yes! Look in the head-textures.txt file
Q: Migrating from another heads plugin?
A: It should be an easy drag-n-drop replacement, but if you have any issues let me know!
Q: How do I install on Forge/Fabric/Singleplayer?
A: DropHeads currently only works on Bukkit and its forks (Spigot, etc); try the MMH-Nano datapack
Q: Where do I get help / report a bug?
A: You can post a comment below, create a bug report, or DM me :)
Q: Older versions of Minecraft?
A: Currently, DropHeads runs on 1.13+. You can find older DropHead jars for 1.12 in the Files tab, otherwise seek out a plugin with support for legacy versions, such as PlayerHeads.
Planned
- Fabric support
- Improve existing textures
- Tropical Fish heads (have the 22 common ones, still need the 3104 rare varieties ☹️)
- Horse variants (for the different patterns)
- Carpeted llamas
Please reach out if you find bugs or have a texture suggestions!

I think this was fixed in a recent(ish) update for the plugin - if you're already using the latest version and still seeing UUIDs intead of names, please DM me your DropHeads config (and the Minecraft version of the server) and I can try and recreate the issue to get it fixed :)

Hmm, any changes to the config files?
If you can, message me on Discord @evmodder, or PM me on Bukkit.org, and share the contents of /plugins/DropHeads/* with me, also check if you see any DropHeads errors in the server logs.
Generally the plugin should be working fine, although I haven't tested lately with versions besides 1.21.4

In reply to EvModder:
There is One Youtuber Name PSD1, he has started a series named as Headsteal Smp it Has a plugin which allows you to use mob head with the mob ability when we have the head, like if we have head of frog and we wear it we can jump more higher like frog, And when we use horse head we can run fast like the horse but head only drop with charged creeper. I would like to recommend you to make these type of upgrade in future.
There is one feature that if we use one arrow and one Head of player and craft it we can create particular players arrow and if shot the arrow then player will respawn there. Same goes to mob but mob doesn't spawn but its ability is used with arrow when it's shotted like take example of creeper if we craft arrow with creeper head and shot anywhere the arrow will explode.
I hope you understand and I wish in future you upgrade this features.
You can check it I have given link with timeline so you will not waste your time, Watch it from 8:30-9:13 , 9:30 , 11:23-11:45 , 25:34 , 26:11, 29:28

There is an option in the config.yml to allow head drops from projectile kills (bows, crossbows, tridents, etc.)

Posted Dec 9, 2024Hi, for some reason it seems impossible for bedrock players to drop their heads on my server, any idea why? Also, is there a way to use the /givehead command to get bedrock players heads?
edit: so you can use the /givehead command for bedrock players, except theres a weird glitch where when I have the head equipped and i use invis, the head starts looking like a default steve head, but normally it look like my skin

I don't think Bedrock players are able to have skins on Java version - maybe I'm wrong on that though. The thing is, normally skins are fetched through Mojang API calls, which don't work for bedrock players on Geyser since the accounts are fake/simulated on the server and not real Minecraft accounts (they have a dot in front of their name or something), so I'm not sure where it gets their skins from. I'd have to look into it, which might take me a while since I've never coded for bedrock edition (or played on it) but if the code to support it isn't too messy or laggy I'll work to add it to the DropHeads plugin. If it ends up having performance concerns I'll still implement it, but as a separate add-on for servers with Geyser/floodgate.

Posted Oct 24, 2024Hello.
May I ask for a request?
My server has a residenc plugin that allows players to create their own residence.
They place a cracked iron golem head inside their residence.
Other players can go into the residence and use iron to repair the head.
However, the residence owner does not want other players to repair the head.
Is it possible that the drophead plugin can check if the players have the place permission before repairing the cracked iron golem head?
Thanks.

Should it check permission for BlockPlaceEvent or BlockInteractEvent(like opening door or putting water in cauldron)?
(I have a test jar for 3.9.9 on the GitHub, currently using BlockPlaceEvent, I haven't tested it yet)

I am using this residence plugin.
https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/residence-1-7-10-up-to-1-21.11480/
The plugin can be downloaded free from here.
https://zrips.net/Residence/
And this plugin requires CMILib too.
https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/cmilib.87610/
I do not know much about program code.
I am not sure which permission (BlockPlaceEvent or BlockInteractEvent) is better.
I will test the test jar when I am back home to see if it works.

Currently there isn't, although it probably makes sense for me to set one up, so people can share their configurations. I don't mind doing support though if you want to DM me @evmodder, although sometimes i can be slow to respond

That's a setting somewhere in your account for allowing messaging people who aren't friends or mutuals, if you prefer to do a friend req though I don't mind, some people like their Discord privacy. can also msg me here on Bukkit. if i remember, I'll actually try and set up a support server over the weekend since it is generally a good thing to have
