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!

Posted Apr 30, 2020I have a question about the head-drop-rates file what does the first number mean and what does the second ( PH= #.##) number mean I understand that this is where I would edit the drop rates so I want to know if the First number after the name is if it was not killed by the player and if the PH number would be the player killed drop rate.
looks like this
PLAYER: 0.005 // PH=1

The first number is what you want to modify. It scales from 0 to 1, where 0 = no chance of drop and 1 = 100% chance.
The second number, after the //, doesn't control anything.. It's actually a reference to this page: https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/player-heads/pages/configuration-4x#title-1-2
I actually didn't realize I put that in the drop rate config file; I was just using it as personal reference to compare with drop rate defaults of other plugins.

Posted Apr 26, 2020Heads don't seem to be dropping from players anymore with the latest update. Unless I need to generate new configs to change something?

Yeah, I suggest trying a freshly generated config; if they still aren't dropping after that let me know.

Will test shortly, noticed another thing. The behead-annoucement-mobs: in the config doesn't allow the OFF option. Throws an error in the console.
EDIT: Tested player heads, they are still not dropping with config reset.

I figured out the problem with OFF---Bukkit/Spigot's YML reader replaces OFF with false unless you put it in quotes like this: 'OFF'. Sorry about that.. in future versions of the config these values will be in quotes so that is more clear, and 'false' will works as well.
As for player heads not dropping, I still can't replicate that in my testing, perhaps we can follow up in a PM? perhaps it's a conflict with another plugin, although I've never had that happen before.

The default drop chance for zombies is 0.4%, if you aren't getting any you can try bumping it up :)

I did bump it up, like I mentioned it above I do get the messages, like 1 every 20 zombies, but no drops.

Very strange.. do you perhaps have some other plugin that modifies entity drops? I haven't been able to re-create it myself so I'm lost. If you can give some info (like server version, other plugins, config settings) I can try investigating more

Hmm, not sure what caused that, but the good news is I've rewritten the system that handles the tellraw messages for v3.3.2, so that problem should go away (I've uploaded the v3.3.2 jar, it might take bit for it to finish processing)

Posted Apr 21, 2020Absolutely love this mod, was curious if there was a way to add a modifier for drop chance to a crossbow/bow?

Thanks for the comment! :)
Currently it just checks the item in the player's hand when the entity dies.. but keeping track of the item used to fire a projectile (bow, crossbow, trident, snowball,...) is actually a really good feature request-- I will see if I can get that added for v3.3.3!

Those are already off by default :)
(you can just set the drop rate to 0 to disable any head)

Oh, perhaps you have an old version of the config files?
I would recommend deleting all the DropHeads files in the plugins folder (back them up first if you want to save settings) and updating the plugin--that will get you the missing setting and textures.
