Player Heads
Ever PVP someone or PVE a mob and get no good loot? Feel like you deserve a trophy for your victory? Want a simpler alternative to bigger plugins that implement everything but the kitchen sink? Then PlayerHeads is right for you! You can now lop off enemies heads in battle, and mount it on a pole for all to fear, wear your opponent's face as a mask like camouflage, or just collect all of the mob heads.
Installation
Place PlayerHeads.jar in your plugins folder, on server start the configuration will be generated. Remember to remove any outdated playerheads jars when adding the new one.

Notes
- PlayerHeads is now translatable! Edit "lang.properties" to whatever phrases you desire.
- lang files will change between releases, when updating be sure to delete the old file if you haven't edited it.
- If you've given people the * permission node, they will get 100% drop rates. If you don't want this to happen, deny (or add negative) nodes for the following: playerheads.alwaysbehead and playerheads.alwaysbeheadmob
- If you want to disable head drops in a specific world, use your permission plugin to deny (or add negative) nodes for the following in that world: playerheads.canbehead and playerheads.canbeheadmob
- If you have any problem using "lang_[language]_[country]_[variant].properties" for any reason, just use the file name "lang.properties" to override messages.
- Spawn mob heads with the following names: #creeper #zombie #skeleton #wither #spider #enderman #enderdragon ... (any many more!)
Known issues
- Renamed heads (with an anvil) don't stay renamed after placing, mining, dropping them.
- If for any reason your mob heads loose their name, you can get it back by placing and mining it.
- If you use the BountyHunters plugin and you have enabled head drops for bounties as well as player head drops from PlayerHeads, both will be dropped - for now, you should disable one or the other. Alternative solutions are being looked at.
- If you use JPerms, users with Op or playerheads.* permission will receive playerheads.alwaysbehead[mob] permissions and have 100% droprate since PlayerHeads permissions nodes are ignored. It's recommended to use another permissions plugin if this is a concern (LuckPerms, PermissionsEX, GroupManager).

Server Support
Current versions of the plugin have been tested as compatible on the following server environments:
- Spigot/Paper 1.8-1.18.2 (Use PlayerHeads 5.20.2 or lower; READ NOTE)
- Spigot/Paper 1.19-1.20.4
Server environments that are known to be incompatible:
- Glowstone 1.12 (only partial support is available in PlayerHeads 5.20.2 and lower)
Support should exist for any modern bukkit server with access to authlib which is needed to set textures.
Legacy version notes:
- 5.x drops support for older usernamed-based mobheads (3.x), fixing some longstanding issues with spawn commands; uses vanilla and texured heads exclusively (4.x)
- 4.x introduces new, more reliable support for head textures, more configuration options, updated mobs, and more consistent permission behavior and will continue to receive updates in the future - some older configurations may be incompatible (see the changelog and Configuration page). This version automatically upgrades 3.x heads to 4.x when breaking or dropping heads.
- 3.x maintains the original behavior of the plugin with username-based mobheads, but head skins may be less reliable over time and support has been discontinued.

Hello everyone:
The transfer file that i made new one "lang_zh_TW.properties" in config folder, but plugin still use original "lang.properties" file. How can I do ?
@DjSmeXhy
The PlayerHeads v2.7.0069 download clearly marks that it requires a higher version of CraftBukkit then you are using.
@jorisk322
Thanks for the info, I'll see what he has to say about me using them.
BTW: Love your Fly plugin, I've been using it on my server for over 4 months now
@Caddub
This plugin has nothing to do with shops. If you want these items to work with whatever shop plugin you're using, ask the author of it.
@coolo1
Sure, I can add a config option for that.
@seeyalater58
I have this problem too...I have this error:
You might want to send Sethbling a PM on youtube, because he has some usernames with custom heads on them for the PVP-map he made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INWmQvy2PLw
@TheXjungleX
Please provide me the error dump from the console when this happens. I can not reproduce it.
Every Time When I Try To Spawn A Head In e.g /PlayerHeads spawn TheXjungleX It says "A Internal Error Occurred While Attempting To Perform This Command" Help Me Please?
Seeyalater 58 is correct.
this plugin used to work for me on 1.4.5 except i had to do /skull player and i would get that players head. Now since the 1.4.6 NOTHING works!!!!!!! it saws spawned player head. I go place the head and nothing works! Please help me because i LOVED this plugin used it all the time!
@JBHI234
Stupid... Link is here http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/player-heads/files/21-v2-7-0069/
@JBHI234
Your joking right?
Where can i ====== Download it??? ======
I just make not 0.02 - I made 1.0 ... But they dont throughing away! Help please!
Please make it where heads can be sold in shops as 397:3 was working for 1.4.5.
Please add an option to put the head in the players inventory (The player that killed the other player) I need this because atm when players are killed their heads get put in their deathchests, and the killer cannot get them.
@MrREOM
Yes /ph rename
Is their a command were you can spawn any players head for decoration maybe in spawn
@Nikz11
Yes use the same command that you use in-game to do it. (ph spawn Herobrine <playername>)
@scaccolatrice
@deaddude22
This has been updated as soon as 1.4.6 was released. Sometimes the version on BukkitDev isn't up to date.
1.4.6 update please?
It doesn't work on my 1.4.6 server.
Please update it!
Is there a way from console I can give a player his own head?
