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
