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!

Hmm, I haven't been able to recreate the issue for villagers (their heads seem to drop for charged creepers), so maybe message me your setup & step to cause that if it continues to not work.
Wolves on the other hand - definitely an issue, and it seems to not just be charged creepers but affecting all wolf beheads.I am working on a hotfix (v3.6.7) and will post it sometime tonight

Posted Jul 7, 2024Will you be adding noteblock heads? It's been featured in certain youtube series such as Hermitcraft [ability to place head on noteblock to play sounds] works on Hermitcraft with non base vanilla mob heads.

It's already a feature, and should be enabled by default :)
but if not check the config and turn it on, there's a couple options to control how the sounds are played/stored

It has the new variants, but not including collar (yet).
Making the head .PNG files for the collar variants is easy, but uploading 1-by-1 to Mojang skin server is taking me a while because the API changed so I need to do it manually.
(will be done in a few days)

Posted May 11, 2024Can I change the Chances in the head-drop-rates.txt? If yes how should I do it? Does 0.006 mean ist a 0.006% chance or how does it work?

Posted May 11, 2024In reply to tenl1p_tale:
It's on a 0-1 scale (0 = 0%, 1 = 100%)
So for a couple examples, 0.5 means "50% drop chance", and 0.06 would be a 6% chance

Not yet;
There is a file that generates in the server at ./plugins/DropHeads/translations.yml
This file has all messages in DropHeads that need translation (right now only traditional Chinese is completed), but if you want to help get a public French translation available to other users, this page should hopefully allow community contributions

Thank you!
I put all the French translations into this file, which is loaded into this resource pack.
There are 3 ways it can work:
1) Setting it as the default resource pack in your server.properties (or merging it with your existing pack, if you have one) - This will make the translations work for anyone who has the setting to accept resource packs when joining servers, if they have a supported language selected on their Minecraft client (fr_fr, en_es, zh_tw, etc.)
2) Players can put the resource pack in their own Minecraft resourcepacks folders
3) Lastly, if neither of those options sounds good, you can go <YourServer>/plugins/DropHeads/translations.yml file on your host, and copy the translations into there (from the fr_fr.json file). This option has the downside that everyone on the server will see the DropHeads texts in French, regardless of their selected language in their client, but if it's a French-server then that's probably fine :)
let me know if you need any help getting it working!

Posted May 8, 2024Hi there! Sorry to be the one to ask the dreaded question, but are there any plans to update this plugin to 1.20.6 anytime soon? I use this plugin on my Aternos server and unfortunately they do not allow users to upload their own plugins, otherwise I would've updated it myself. I love this plugin and so do my friends on the server, I've accidentally caused a head-hunting frenzy :D
