DropHeads
DropHeads
Let the head-hunt begin!
Using quality heads 99% supplied by Minecraft-Heads.com & Nano Team â¤ī¸
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 updated list, check here.
dropheads.canlosehead: Can drop a head upon death
dropheads.canbehead.<mob_type>: Can get heads from killing the given mob
dropheads.alwaysbehead.<mob_type>: Get heads for 100% of kills (unless canlosehead is false)
dropheads.silentbehead: Avoid triggering a global behead message in chat *
dropheads.canplacehead: Can place a head as a block
dropheads.clickinfo: Can see the name of a head by clicking it *
dropheads.spawn: Can get heads with a command *
dropheads.droprate: Can 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
- /give @p dropheads:vex - please upvote here đ
- Fabric mod
- Add/improve heads for these mobs:
- "Giant's Toe"?
- Tropical Fish (have the 22 common ones, but need the 3104 other varieties âšī¸)
- Carpeted llamas
- Horse variants (have for colors, but not for patterns)
Feel free to reach out if you find any bugs or a texture for a missing head!

Posted Oct 23, 2022Is the drop rate the chances of a head dropping? and what number should that be if i want a mob 100% drop chance?
CHICKEN: 0.001 (thats the number its currently on)
If i install the plugin into my server, and i only changed ''must use axe true''. shouldnt it work immediatly?
I mostly want mob heads for my players on the server. As an OP i get the heads but not the players.

You can set it to 1 for 100% (it is on a scale from 0.0 to 1.0).
If heads still aren't dropping 100% of the time I suggest clearing the contents of spawn-cause-modifiers.txt on your server, since that file can nerf drop rates e.g., for mobs spawned with commands or plugins. A good tool for debugging it can also be to do /droprate while looking at a mob, the plugin will spit out some information for anything/everything that might affect the drop rate.

Posted Oct 21, 2022There is a plugin that can rollback or restore any amount of damage.
https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/coreprotect.8631/
However, the plugin cannot restore the placed head that is damaged. The head will become Steve or Alex.
Is it possible that Dropheads can work well with Core Protect so the damaged head can be restored properly?
And there is a plugin called Mythicmobs.
https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/â-mythicmobs-free-version
It can create custom mobs.
Is it possible that Dropheads supports Mythicmobs so that the custom mobs can drop different kind of heads?

Regarding CoreProtect, the owner has an issue here to eventually add support for custom heads, I'll contact them and see if they want some help doing it.
For Mythicmobs, I am not sure how easy it would be to do, since I think it will try and use the head of the underlying mob type which Mythicmobs is using, but perhaps if the Mythicmobs mob is wearing a custom head in the skin there would be a good way to do it as an addon, I'll look into it

Posted Oct 16, 2022i put this on true, i have a Paper server
# Only drop heads if the killer used an axe; overrides 'must-use'
must-use-axe: true
but still people can use swords to get the drophead.
,
Does EV Modder has an Discord for questions?
Thank you!

Do the player have 'dropheads.alwaysbehead' permission? I think that permission overrides the 'must-use-axe: true' setting.
Otherwise, I would recommend restarting/reloading the server so the plugin can load the config changes in case you didn't try that already.
BTW my Discord account is EvModder#0001, you can message me if you like or PM me on this site, i don't have a user support server at the moment.
If there is a bug with this setting I can look into it some more, but it seemed to work for me when I tried it just now

Posted Oct 6, 2022Hello. I'm new, and trying to figure out some things.
I see that the latest version supports 1.19.1. My server is 1.19.2.
Will the plugin work properly on my server?

Posted Oct 5, 2022What is the spawn-cause for allay duplication?
I would like set allay to have lower head drop rate if the allay is duplicated by being given an amethyst shard.

Hmm, I checked here on Spigot's API for spawn-cause, and it seems allay duplication (and shulker duplication) both are in the same category as 'BREEDING' with the passive mobs

Not currently, but this is a great feature idea so I might add it later!
The closest approximation to what you want is probably the "time-alive-multipliers" in the config.yml, which you can use to modify the drop chance based on how long the victim has been alive.
One common use case would be to have a multiplier of 0 (zero) for players alive less than 5 minutes, which means killing them for heads would have a cooldown, although the killer has no cooldown for beheading other players/mobs

Posted Sep 21, 2022In reply to chiken8743:
Unfortunately there isn't a command yet for setting the droprate -- but if you don't mind using the same droprate for all mobs, an easy way to do it is to delete every line in head-drop-rates.txt except "DEFAULT: x" and then set it to whatever you want

I haven't heard of them, is it a mod or other plugin? If it doesn't use the vanilla mob types, it might be tricky to add native support for, but if you link it I'll see if it's feasible to create an add-on for it

Yes, probably the best approach is to change the DropMode in the config, most likely you will want to use 'SPAWN'.

I did try that, however no matter what I set it to the head drops in the same way. Never mind, I'll reinstall and hope it works.
Thanks for helping me so much, by the way :D

np, if it still doesn't work let me know and I'll do some experimenting as well. If item drops are disabled in the world (e.g., /gamerule doMobDrops false), you can also do drop-mode 'GIVE' to put it directly into the inventory of the killer (assuming they have the space)
