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
Permissions

dropheads.canlosehead: Can drop a head upon death
dropheads.canbehead.<mob_type>: Can get heads from killing the given mob

* = has sub-permissions
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!

Unfortunately it's not possible to dye Shulkers in vanilla (without /summon, command blocks, datapacks, etc.) so likewise the dyed Shulker heads are unobtainable in regular survival.
I think there are some plugins/datapacks out there that add a feature to right-click a shulker mob with a dye color to dye it

Posted Feb 22, 2024If I am right I believe this limits the spawn rate of wither skulls is that correct because I killed many wither skeletons in the course of 5 whole hours and had none spawn.
Please tell me if this is correct

I'm sorry to tell you, but it does not affect the chance to get a wither skull.
Only if the server has one of these things changed:
* Player does not have
dropheads.canbehead.wither_skeletonpermission* Config file has been changed for
vanilla-wither-skeleton-skulls:truesetting-

Posted Jan 10, 2024This is a correction to my first post. I blamed the developer a little too quickly out of frustration and sincerely apologize! Via Discord, he helped me as much as he could and we managed to find the root of the problem.
A plugin that has remained as reliable and reliable as ever over the years - awesome!
Old message:
Hi, having updated the plugin to the latest versions of the game I find myself with a translation that no longer works at all. I tried to go back to a default configuration and no matter what you modify in the translations.yml when I get the head of a mob I get this:
I've been trying to figure out what's wrong for over 2 hours, I've tried everything and with no documentation or way of contacting anyone outside of here, here's my message ...

Resolved in DMs, but updating here in case other people encounter the same issue:
Another plugin "CMILib" added a config setting which overwrites head names that needs to be set to false like this:
(Thanks to wyendar for finding the setting)

Currently the /droprate command only shows the rates (being able to edit them with the command is a planned feature for an upcoming update, likely v3.9.1 or v3.9.2)
To edit them, you will need to edit the file located here: <server_folder>/plugins/DropHeads/head-drop-rates.txt and change it to the drop chance that you want. It will require reloading the plugin (or reloading/restarting the server) after you change & save the file for it to take effect, similar to changing the config.

Posted Dec 26, 2023Hey! I was trying to set up a villager to be able to trade the heads from the plugin, But i havent figured out how to have the villager trade the same head from the plugin. Ive tryed using the command chain from minecrasft heads.com, but it does not register as the same head from the plugin. do you happen to have a list of /give command for the heads that I can use to change the code on my villager so he can trade the heads from the plugin?

Hi, the best way to get the exact NBT for the DropHeads heads is to toss it on the ground and then run this command (or a similar one in the server console if you want to be able to Ctrl-C copy):
This will spit out the NBT for the item entity; then just look for {...item:{<copy-NBT-here>}...}
If you want a bit more detailed help feel free to HMU in a DM here on Bukkit or on discord

I think I found the issue, and I've gone ahead and fixed it with v3.8.3 - I've uploaded it to Bukkit, but it will also be available on the GitHub if you don't want to wait for it to process.
