Just Mob Heads
by Serilum
With Just Mob Heads installed, most mobs can drop their head on death at a configurable chance, and the server can generate every available head with commands.
What it does
Heads drop from mobs at a chance set in the config file, 0.1 by default. Mob-specific chances can override the overall value, and the looting enchantment can raise the odds. Zombies, skeletons and creepers drop heads only when the standard-heads option is switched on. Adult tameable mobs are the only ones that drop heads by default.
Two options limit where heads come from. One drops heads only when a player makes the kill, and another drops them only when a charged creeper causes the death. Heads keep their name after placement and pickup. The mod uses only vanilla resources and needs Collective, which must be installed alongside it.
Only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 29 release versions, 1.16.5 – 26.3, and the code is all rights reserved, so the license is not open source.
Key features
Configurable head drops
Each mob has its own drop chance in a generated file, and a single overall chance can replace those values.
Command head generation
Commands generate every available mob head, so a world can receive heads without waiting for drops.
Player-kill and charged-creeper filters
Heads can be limited to drops from player kills or from deaths caused by a charged creeper.
Looting support
The looting enchantment can increase the chance that a mob drops its head.
Adult-only tameable drops
By default only adult tameable mobs can drop heads, which can be changed in the config.
