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!
Hello,
Great plugin, but would it be possible to have a setting for how much armour each head gives you? Like a normal piece of armour iron has +3 and diamond +5. Would be great if I could set a Zombie head to have +1 armour, or a Dragon head to have +10, etc.
Thanks.
In reply to V1ceC1ty85363:
Yeah that sounds possible.
Since most people (probably) aren't interested in that feature, I don't think it should be a built into the plugin, but I'd be happy to make an add-on for that feature (along with a config for how many armor points each type of head gives).
just PM me or reply to this post

there is no dropheads folder on plugin directory, after server restart the file.jar have 0 bytes
In reply to comonier85084:
Hmm there's very strange. I've been testing to try recreate this, but it seems to be
working for me. I've gone ahead and added the next update, maybe that'll fix it for you :)
If not, message me and I can try and help you fix it asap (I'm online most days)
kinda wish the head codes file was in the config folder
In reply to CaszGamerMD95666:
For example if My head was a sheep and someone killed me would they get a sheep head?
In reply to Forge_User_82899549:
Just wanted to say, you've really got something here. I just got this set up on my sister's clan's server, and this is probably the Bukkit plugin that is the easiest to use and, I believe, adds the most amount of whimsy per server resources. ;)
I did bump up the shears multiplier to 50. It made too much sense to not do it.
In reply to AssistingJarl:
does this work for 1.13.2? doesnt appear to be dropping heads at all

In reply to EvilWitchdoctor
i tried on 1, and i also tried to update the modifier on diamondsword to 3. still didnt work. after that i raised to 10.
In reply to Forge_User_27396171:
It would be better to use whatever head is available than to wait for a "good" one. No? (Your issues list says there are no good fish heads -- I assume this means you have no fish heads dropping at all?)
In reply to angi_mathochist:
@EvDoc I was playing around with this a little bit, and noticed that some variations of mobs generate an incomplete texture (purple and black box).
Have you by chance heard of More Mob Heads over on Xisumavoid's website? https://xisumavoid.com/moremobheads/ - that's a vanilla custom loot table you can insert which uses NBT data to store the texture files, and they are all pretty good textures.
Perhaps you can reach out to the devs of that one to be able to use their textures in your plugin? I prefer the plugin, since the custom loot table is basically a looping command and kind of eats up server resources.
Thank you!
