Mob Heads Collection
by Kladbm
Mob Heads Collection adds heads that mobs drop when a player kills them, with drop chances that can be tuned in the config.
What it does
Each mob variant adds its own head to the loot table, and the head drops when a player makes the kill. Chances are configurable, so a server can adjust how often heads appear to suit its difficulty. Placed heads play a unique sound through a note block, and custom chat messages announce drops as they happen. Vanilla mob heads are changed only in how they drop, using the vanilla drop methods.
Collected heads are tracked through an advancement system, which turns gathering them into a goal of its own. Only players who keep playing receive those rewards, so the advancements add targets beyond the basic gameplay loop. The mod suits collectors, builders and completionists who want to display the heads as decoration.
The mod runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the data pack form is also available for servers. The server has to run the mod, while players may leave it out. The code is MIT licensed, but the project is not open source. Files cover 1.21.6 – 26.1.2, with the latest build 0-v0.1.15-mc26.1 for 26.1.2.
