DropHeads
DropHeads
Let the head hunt begin!
Using quality heads 99% supplied by Minecraft-Heads.com & Nano Team ❤️
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!

This has been a bug for a while... and GOOD NEWS! I figured out a way to have it ignore the error and continue with the plugin startup instead of failing. I've uploaded DropHeads v3.4.5 here, so it should be available for download as soon as the upload finishes processing :-)
In reply to forgot2fletch:
I've updated and was able to start the plug-in without any issues.
Thank you!
Hello! I have a problem, the plugin doesn't work anymore.
Here is what jumps on the console of my server: https://hasteb.in/ekejihul.shell
Before the plugin was disabled, the console would release a constant error. Also, when I had a head of a mob in my inventory, its texture disappeared.
In reply to GamerDeLaElite:
I'm having the same issue--the server spits out:
[Server] INFO org.bukkit.command.CommandException: Cannot execute command 'dropheads:dhrate' in plugin DropHeads v3.4.4 - plugin is disabled.
whenever any commands related to this plugin are run.
Edit: had another plugin installed which caused the error; deleting that plugin fixes it.
In reply to thekriskane:
Can you let me know which plugin that is? Perhaps I can figure out why it is making DropHeads crash and fix it :)
In reply to forgot2fletch:
Sure thing! It's either HeadsInventory (https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/headsinventory-1-13-1-16.30167/) or the Heads Plugin API (https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/heads-plugin-api-2-1-13-1-16.19672/). I suspect it's the API that's causing it. Let me know if you'd like a hand testing it--we're running the latest version of Paper, if that helps.
In reply to thekriskane:
The plugin worked well for me. Except for some moments that the console doesn't stop dropping errors.
Right now it stopped working and I don't know which plugin is affecting it. Since I didn't add any other plugin
So I'm trying to change the drop rates for every hostile and passive mob but idk how to use the commands.
In reply to snortingrass:
Currently the drop rates cannot be changed with commands; you will need to edit the head-drop-rates.txt file (inside the plugins/DropHeads folder) and then reload the plugin or restart the server :)
In reply to forgot2fletch:
what are the preset drop rates?
In reply to snortingrass:
In this file:
https://github.com/EvModder/DropHeads/blob/master/head-drop-rates.txt
(it should also generate in the plugin folder if you run the server)
Great devoloper! Quick response and always care to update his plugin and add features to it. My players really love this plugin and it is one of the most used and fun features in our server.
Hi,
I'm using this plugin for my 1.16.1 server but so far there are no heads dropping. The drop rates are 0.05 except for the wither and wither skeletons, I didn't change anything else. Do you know what's happening?
Thanks
In reply to wckdred007:
same issue
In reply to TatoIQ:
Hey guys! So, so sorry about this... There was a bug in the v3.4.1 release. I deleted the jar from website, and uploaded fixed version, but it may take a day or two to process. In the meantime, you can switch back to v3.4.0 if you want.
In reply to forgot2fletch:
Quick replies are always the best. Thank you for your help, this plugin is very fun to use, my friends and I enjoy using it.
Hello Forgot,
I'm reaching out to you in regards of a server that i play on that uses your plugin. They recently have turned off the broadcasting of the heads in global chat due to the high amounts of Enderman/Wither Skeletons dropping. I wanted to know if there was anyway to specifically disable certain heads from announcing in the broadcasts so they potentially would re-enable it. The server doesn't have much money and the collective of staff can't code. If there was anyway to add this i would appreciate it so much.
Thanks for taking the time to read this,
-Reed
In reply to Three6tee:
It's funny you ask, because that's one of the features in v3.4.1 which will be coming out soon! Basically, it will look something like this config (once it comes out):
In reply to forgot2fletch:
Thank you for the reply. Appreciate your efforts and time.
does NOT work on 1.16.1 using default settings.
I get messages on the console, players get messages on chat, but they don't see any heads on the ground!
