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!
Im getting Custom Head Texture: url every time i harvest something from slimefun/exotic garden and i really dont know how to hide it. It drops the correct item but the spam fills the chat for my players.
In reply to inseTV:
Can you send me a screenshot (or link to a pastebin etc) of what you are seeing?
It sounds like it might be a debug message I accidentally left in the code in which case I will try to find and remove it
When will be update for 1.18.1?
I really like this plugin but i need to update my server.
In reply to magickamicka:
It should already work on 1.18.1 and any future versions, but let me know if it doesn't (or has any errors in the server console)
I wanted to try and update the head textures to match that of a texture pack I'm using and I read in the FAQ
Q: Can I edit the head textures (i.e., to match a resource pack)?
A: Yes! Look in the head-textures.txt file
But I don't understand how to change to a different texture in head-textures.txt file. I assume it is the gigantic series of letters and numbers, but where would I obtain that or how would I replace it?
In reply to cybordemon:
The long lists of letters and numbers are from URLs on Mojang's texture server, e.g.:
"FOX|RED: d8954a42e69e0881ae6d24d4281459c144a0d5a968aed35d6d3d73a3c65d26a" is the texture from "http://textures.minecraft.net/texture/d8954a42e69e0881ae6d24d4281459c144a0d5a968aed35d6d3d73a3c65d26a"
You can replace it with any other similar value for any texture file on the Mojang servers.
If your data pack or whatever source you are using has the texture URL encoded in a Base64 value (which looks like this: "eyJ0ZXh0dXJlcyI6eyJTS0lOIjp7InVybCI6Imh0dHA6Ly90ZXh0dXJlcy5taW5lY3JhZnQubmV0L3RleHR1cmUvZDg5NTRhNDJlNjllMDg4MWFlNmQyNGQ0MjgxNDU5YzE0NGEwZDVhOTY4YWVkMzVkNmQzZDczYTNjNjVkMjZhIn19fQ==") and you don't know how to decode it (or just don't want to spend time doing it) then you can also just put that value into the head-textures.txt file - it supports both formats (either Base64 encoded URL or the plain URL id or a mix of the two)
In reply to EvModder:
Thanks so much for your reply and thank you for the awesome plugin. We are having a blast with it on our server!
In reply to cybordemon:
hello i have the same issue as you, my mc character drops heads using the steve or alex's texture, how could i change that? i want it to drop my skin's texture. i was hoping you have any ideas regarding this.
I find that the head of GOAT|SCREAMING|GRUMM is missing in the head-textures.txt.
In reply to siulung201314:
Thanks for letting me know, I uploaded the texture here:
http://textures.minecraft.net/texture/e7edc2be842a1fefc9cc22123e83e4620ad89d3d006f9cc1fef544cb7b325843
and added it head-textures.txt file, so it will auto-update in the next release which will be out soon (or you can add it manually if you don't want to wait)
Hey, I love this plugin and have been using it for over a month. It has been working perfectly until today. When I got in and went to my enderman farm to get some xp, every enderman dropped a head when I killed them. I thought this may have been caused by the server glitching and somehow letting many more enderman stand in the same spot without entity cramming, so I went out to the overworld and tried to kill some mobs. Every mob dropped a head. In the config file for the head drop rates, all the drop rates was normal. So it couldn't have been anyone on my server somehow getting acces to the command or the file. I've tried everything I could think of, I have restarted the server, even deleting the whole plugin and redownloading it. Nothing helps.
This problem needs to be solved. Please reply if you know any fix for this issue, or atleast what the issue is. Until then, this plugin is unusable.
In reply to skrammel2:
There is a section in the FAQ for debugging this kind of issue, but my best recommendation if the information there can't solve the problem is to do "/droprate enderman", and then just"/droprate" (while looking at an enderman), and send me the full output of both of those commands along with a copy of your config file in a private message.
The /droprate command is pretty handy, so if you are able to figure it out based on just the output from that then cheers :)
In reply to EvModder:
Hi, Thanks for the reply! I tried the first command and this came up: You have 'dropheads.alwaysbehead' so droprate is 100%
Multipliers: SpawnReason, TimeAlive, Weapon, Looting
In reply to skrammel2:
Ah, sounds like the issue is from the first part -- you need to figure out how to take away the 'dropheads.alwaysbehead' permission from yourself (the plugin has it OFF by default but some permissions plugins like to ignore the default settings and force-enable it for server ops... disabling a permission depends on which plugin you are using but all of them should have some option for it)

Love the heads, thank you!
Also, would it be possible to set up a command block that would give any player who activated it (button or whatnot) their own head?
In reply to Khufu_:
This is a really good idea! Currently, if you put this in a command block "/givehead @p @p" it tries to give the nearest player "@p's Head", which isn't what we want (you can do "/givehead @p Notch" and it will work but that's not quite what you're looking for)
I will fix this and have it included in the next update, which will probably be out in a week or two :)
Hello,
I am struggling to get the plugin to work. I downloaded the 1.18 release on your GitHub and added it to my server. Mobs are not dropping heads and anytime I try to do a command I get "An internal error occurred when trying to do this command."
Here is my plugin list, I do not believe any of these affect mod drops on death:

Here is a look at my console after running the /drumheads command:

In reply to Slamburger:
Sorry about that, yeah the original development jar I posted on GitHub was broken, but the one I uploaded earlier today should work! :)
