DropHeads
DropHeads
Let the head-hunt begin!
Using quality heads 99% supplied by Minecraft-Heads.com & Nano Team ❤️
Key Features
- Very configurable!
- Get heads as a death drop, or with a command
- MASSIVE variety (e.g., snow fox, lime sheep, grumm swamp farmer villager, …)
- Custom behead messages and translation support
- Regularly updated heads from the latest Minecraft snapshots
Configuration (Sample)
Default values designed to fit well on most servers,
However, if you like digging into configuration, here's just a taste of what you can do:
- Adjust drop rates based on mob type
- Adjust drop rates based on spawn conditions (eg: Breeding, MobSpawners, /summon, ...)
- Adjust drop rates based on ticks-lived
- Adjust drop rates based on what weapon is used
- Require using specific weapon(s) to get heads to drop
- Support charged creeper head drops
- Limit head drops when not killed by a player (configure what counts as 'killed by a player')
- Change any head textures (or add your own!)
- Set up automatic updates
- ...and more! Check out config files in the source repository
Permissions
For a complete, always current list, check here.
dropheads.canlosehead: Able to drop a head upon death
dropheads.canbehead: Able to get heads by killing others
dropheads.alwaysbehead.<mob_type>: Will get heads for 100% of kills (unless canlosehead is false)
dropheads.silentbehead: Will avoid triggering a global behead message in chat *
dropheads.clickinfo: Able to see the name of a head by clicking it *
dropheads.spawn: Able to get heads with a command *
dropheads.droprate: Able to check head drop rates with a command
* = has sub-permissions
F.A.Q.
Q: Heads are not dropping for me!
A: There a several possible causes; please go over this checklist before leaving a comment:
* Check if another plugin is blocking or modifying the death-event item drops
* Check if you have the dropheads.canbehead permission
* Check head-drop-rates and spawn-cause-modifiers (spawn egg drop rates are nerfed by default!)
* 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 ever cause lag?
A: Nope! I heard 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 for singleplayer or a pure vanilla server?
A: DropHeads is built for Bukkit and its forks (Spigot, etc); perhaps try MMH-Nano instead
Q: Where do I get help / report a bug?
A: You can either post a comment below or create a bug report, I will see it either way :)
Q: What about older versions of Minecraft?
A: Currently, DropHeads only supports 1.13+. You can find older DropHead jars that work for 1.12 in the Files tab, or use a different plugin that has support for legacy versions, such as PlayerHeads.
Planned Features
- Add/improve heads for these mobs:
- Giant (currently using "Giant Toe")
- Tropical Fish (currently have 22 common varieties, need to generate 3104 more ☹️)
- Carpeted llamas
- Horse variants for not just colors but also patterns
Feel free to reach out if you find any bugs or a texture for a missing head!

Posted May 23, 2022Heya! is there a way to edit drop rates for all mobs at once?
I don't like that they all drop a head with every critical hit kill I want it to feel special that I received it yk?

Well, the drop chances configured in /plugins/DropHeads/head-drop-rates.txt (aka this file) are already pretty low, so if you're getting a head almost every hit then there might be some permissions/configuration elsewhere for you to look into; but to answer the question more directly -- yes, you can edit all the drop rates at once using a certain trick:
step 1: delete all the existing drop rates from the file except for "default"
step 2: set "default" to whatever rate you want, and all the mobs+players will be using it

Posted May 18, 2022Hey there, installed this plugin and havent adjusted any of the configs from base values but every time someone kills any mob it seems that the heads are dropping even when they are very low base chances. Not sure on a fix for this?

Posted May 18, 2022Likely an issue caused by a permission plugin giving everyone "*" permissions for alwaysbehead, but hard to be sure. It should tell you why if you look at a mob and do the /droprate command. If you need help debugging it, DM me and we can work through it :)

Posted May 4, 2022hey man, looting-multipliers are not working, its set to 1.1 by default, and when you /droprate with a looting 1 sword it says x0 + whatever the addition is set too, no matter what i change the looting-multipliers to it wont change from x0.05 yes i restart the server lel. so you actually get less chance of a head with looting

Hmm, yeah sounds like a bug (might have been introduced in v3.7), I am not sure if it is a bug with the /droprate command itself or the actual rate being read from the config, but I will try and fix this and update the jar as soon as possible. (In the meantime I will mark the new jar as unstable and if you want you could switch back to v3.6.x where it hopefully works as it should)

I assume by 100 you mean 100% (because chance is [0.0, 1.0], not 100) although it should work for any number >= 1
It could be for one of a few reasons: 1) make sure all the players have permission to get heads, default is true. 2) if you set any config settings for changing drop rate based on amount of time since last death, that might affect it. 3) make sure to restart the server after making config changes; you probably already did but just thought I'd check :) 4) it might be something else or perhaps even a bug in 3.7.1 -- if you can do "/droprate playername" for the person getting killed and see why it is below 100%, that would be helpful to debug what's going on

Posted May 3, 20221.
I find that there is a SHULKER|RED: 0.014 in the head-drop-rate.yml.
Can I delete it?
Because there is SHULKER: 0.015 already.
I want the drop rates of all colours are the same.
2.
Can the plugin prevent dropping the head of wither skeleton when a wolf kill the wither skeleton?
If not, are the head-drop-rates of killing by a wolf and by a player the same?
3.
After updating from 3.6.15 to 3.7, many players report to me that it is more difficult to drop heads. They feel that there is a big difference about the drop rate. Many of them ask if I change the drop rate lower. However, I do not change the rate after updating. I am not sure if there is any issue about the drop rate.
Moreover, I have other plugin(mythicmob) which can create an item with 0.01 drop rate from zombies. A player reports to me that he gets about 60 items but 0 heads from any mobs.
And another player reports to me that he killed at least 2000 mobs (natural spawn) but no head is dropped.

1. Yes it is safe to remove, I added the SHULKER|RED as an example to show server owners how to configure drop rate for sub-types
2. If vanilla wither skeleton handling is true, then yes the wolf kill will make it drop a head; to prevent it, set it to false (and make sure drop-for-nonplayer-kills is also false)
3. That might be due to the changes that happened here, are the mobs with lower rates being spawned by plugins or commands? I would suggest try changing some of the multipliers in that file (1=same drop rate as config, 0.5=half the drop rate in config 2.0=twice as common as droprate in the config, etc)
If the drop rates still seem too low, it might be something else, but checking by doing /droprate while looking at an entity in game will tell the reason for drop rates

About the drop rates, I have not changed any setting in spawn-cause-modifiers.yml and head-drop-rate.yml. And all specific-tool-modifiers and time-alive-modifiers are set to be 0. Looting-multipliers is set to 1.01.
Some players help me to do the experiment. They kill the mobs which is spawned due to Natural or Chunk_Gen. According to the setting that I set, the drop rate should be around 0.4%. Before updating, players report to me that they kill around 1000 mobs and 3-5 heads are dropped. It seems normal. However, after updating, they do the test and kill 3000 or above mobs but no head is dropped.
After testing by myself, I find that there is a bug that some mobs does not drop heads after updating. I am OP and has all vip perms (total x 67.04). I use command /droprate to check the drop rate. The drop rate should be about 0.4%x67.04=26.816%. And then, I try to kill natural spawned zombie, creeper and spider. I kill about 100 mobs but no heads are dropped.
spawn-cause-modifiers.yml
NATURAL: 1
head-drop-rate.yml
SPIDER: 0.004
CREEPER: 0.006
ZOMBIE: 0.004
specific-tool-modifiers:
GOLDEN_AXE: 0
NETHERITE_AXE: 0
DIAMOND_AXE: 0
IRON_AXE: 0
STONE_AXE: 0
WOODEN_AXE: 0
SHEARS: 0
DIAMOND_SWORD: 0
IRON_SWORD: 0
time-alive-modifiers:
0s: 0
looting-mutliplier: 1.01
looting-addition: 0.0
custom-droprate-multiplier-permissions:
group.vip1: 1.1
group.vip2: 1.2
group.vip3: 1.3
group.vip4: 1.4
group.vip5: 1.5
group.vip6: 1.6

Hmm, there is probably a bug in v3.7+, I will try to find it and fix, but until then you can try to go back to v3.6.x (be sure to disable auto-update in config).
I will try to fix it quickly
EDIT:
I found the bug introduced in 3.7+, it is with looting.
Any level of looting above 0 is causing a no heads to drop

In terms of permission - yes of course
As far as how - I really don't know (I've never used DeluxeMenus), and it probably depends what kind of "shop" you are trying to set up. Perhaps check with the author of that plugin since they probably know how to configure it :)

You can take the textures listed in head-textures.txt, e.g. a163bc416b8e6058f92b231e9a524b7fe118eb6e7eeab4ad16d1b52a3ec04fcd
and add 'https://textures.minecraft.net/texture/' in front of it, to get the PNG file URL on Mojang's servers, e.g.:
https://textures.minecraft.net/texture/a163bc416b8e6058f92b231e9a524b7fe118eb6e7eeab4ad16d1b52a3ec04fcd
