What it does

Each mob head that players wear grants a status effect tied to the mob it came from. Heads are obtained by putting a mob head into the head slot, and the effect applies while the head stays equipped. The mod only works with the Mob Heads datapack or mod, which must be installed alongside it. Server owners need it on the server, while players may add it to their clients.

Installation requires Mob Heads, and 5555ff-lib is an optional dependency. The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt on 26.3, with the 1.21.6 – 26.3 range covered by its game versions.
