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!
I like the function of the translation.
It is very useful.
However, I find a very serious bug in the new version.
All the head texture that I add by myself does not work in the new version.
I cannot use command to spawn the head that I add by myself.
And I right-click the head that I add by myself but head-click-listener does not work.
There is the console error.

I use the old version temporarily and hope that the issue will be solved soon.
In reply to siulung201314:
Yeah, I also had this bug during testing recently... fortunately it was easy to fix; version 3.6.1 will be out soon, which fixes this as well as a few other things, plus expanding the translation support and updating some pre-Jappa head textures, among other things
Hello, i just changed my skin to get other heads than that from my standard skin. Now i changed it back but I still get the other head and not the one from my Standard skin. Please Help me.
In reply to dark_esoxx:
There are two options you could do:
Option 1: Go to the DropHeads config on your server's /plugins/ folder and change 'update-on-skin-change: false/true'
Option 2 (recommended): To keep the head texture the same even when you change your skin, give yourself your head using the give code generated here: https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-heads/heads-generator
Will this awsome plugin work for the latest 1.17 snapshots?
In reply to twibbldibbl:
as of right now the heads from the snapshots aren't available in the plugin, but they will be there in an update soon-ish (definitely prior to the 1.17 release)
In reply to EvModder:
Nice! Thanks

just a quick question, but do heads drop when killed by a tamed wolf?
In reply to bobbingtonn:
yeah, if you allow it in the config. with the default settings, the only head that drops when killed by a non-player is the wither skeleton skull (but you could configure it to work for all mobs if you want to)
If you are adding the feature that can translate the name of head and message to be other languages by user, I can help to translate English to be Chinese.
In reply to siulung201314:
Thanks! I will message you later (I am working on that update right now, trying to use some of Minecraft's built-in translation for item names, but it is taking me some time)
how do I increase the chance of the heads dropping
In reply to htxtrm:
edit the drop-rates.txt file in plugins folder
Hi!
Awesome plugin, we are having fun with these heads.
BUT! I am using SkinsRestorer on server for my no-bought-game friends and it seems to be a problem with skins. Whenever I kill any of them, they drop head connected with official player with the same nickname, but not the skin they are using right now. Same with me, if I change skin via SkinsRestorer I still drop my official head-skin. Is there any way to drop custom skin and not the one from Mojang servers?
In reply to Catab00m:
There is no way to do this sadly, but maybe it would be a good DropHeads add-on, I'll check it out, and if it's not too difficult to make I'll let you know :)
In reply to EvModder:
Thanks! Would be nice to have this feature.
Also if it can help you in anyway, SkinsRestorer stores skins in plugins/skinsrestorer/skins using .skin format. Good luck!
Hi, thanks for your amazing plugin, it's really nice.
To change the drop rate, must we change the value before "/" or the PH value ?
How can we adjust the drop rate in some weapons ?
Ty for your patience :) !
In reply to KatsuFR_:
Yes, you change the first number, (everything after “//“ or “#” is ignored by the code, you could even delete it if you wanted and nothing would change). It goes from 0 to 1, so 0.25 = 25% chance, for example.
for adjusting the drop rate for weapon(s), add them to the “specific-tool-modifiers:” section in the config.yml (use the material type name of the item, then a colon, then the amount it should multiply the drop chance by when that weapon is used). Let me know if you need any more help :)
How do I get permission to do some commands?
