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!

Yes, just look in the folder "/plugins/DropHeads/head-drop-rates.txt" (the file looks like this) and change the number for parrot to something larger (0=0%, 1=100%, 0.5=50%, etc.)

Posted Jul 27, 2021I find an issue in the latest version.
The issue is about head-click-listener.
If a player keeps right-clicking a head many times quickly,
the tps drops a lot from 20 to be 5.

I see, I can fix it soon. Maybe disable the head-click-listener or use the previous version until it is fixed

Thanks so much.
Is there a command that can directly give a head to other player, not to myself?

Not yet, but you could use a vanilla Minecraft command to get heads from here:
I will add a feature soon to make it work with /give

Posted Jul 19, 2021Some players report to me that they name a rabbit to be toast.
When they kill that rabbit, it does not drop toast's head.
Is it possible to set that rabbit to drop toast's head?

easiest way to end all the notification messages is go to this file (in your server's plugins/DropHeads folder) and set:
behead-announcement:
default: 'OFF'
(you can also turn it off for just whichever mob type you don't want spam for depending on your preference)

Yeah, it might be a setup issue or it could be a bug. I can't seem to get it to happen for myself, but if you could put any config files you modified on https://pastebin.com/ and PM me a link to it (plus any other plugins you think might affect heads)

It is the first one, right after the name (sorry about the other one, I left that in as documentation for myself to compare to PlayerHeads plugin and forgot to take it out of the config in some released versions)

If you are referring to the drop chances in this file, then it is a percent from [0 to 1]
(In other words, 0.70 means a 70% chance of dropping)
