DarkHeads

by GamerPotionDev

Players who want their deaths to leave a trophy can use DarkHeads, a server-side mod that makes a player drop their head when killed.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer-side onlyAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 26.2

What it does

When a player dies, the mod drops that player's head, which can be picked up and kept by other players. Only the server needs DarkHeads installed, so players join without installing anything. Fabric API is required on Fabric. Files cover 1.20.1 – 26.2 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Player head drops

    Each killed player leaves a head that other players can pick up and collect.

  2. Works in any mode

    Heads drop in singleplayer and multiplayer worlds alike, on any server running the mod.

  3. Mob kills and world events

    Heads also drop when a mob or another player kills a player, not only from environmental deaths.
