More Heads

by nwrenger

Mob heads drop from mobs killed with a hoe, and players drop their own heads when another player kills them, all added by More Heads.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or laterOpen source1.21 – 26.3

What it does

More Heads changes which mobs leave a head behind. A mob drops its head only when it is killed with a hoe, which keeps heads from appearing on every kill and reduces farm pollution. Wither Skeletons and the Ender Dragon are excluded, so vanilla progression stays intact. A killer's name is shown in the head's tooltip.

The server must run the mod, while players may add it for the tooltip, so only the server needs it to work. Fabric API is required on Fabric, and the mod is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, so it is open source. Files target 1.21 – 26.3 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and snapshot builds are published too. The mod is also available as a data pack for server platforms.

Key features

  1. Hoe-based head drops

    Mobs leave their heads only when a hoe delivers the killing blow, which keeps drop rates intentional.

  2. Player heads on death

    A player who is killed by another player drops their own head, which the killer can keep.

  3. Protected progression

    Wither Skeletons and the Ender Dragon do not drop heads, so those milestones are unchanged.

  4. Vanilla-style items

    Heads are added as items that look and behave like the vanilla ones, so they fit existing builds.

Use cases

Survival servers

Server owners can offer heads as a reward without letting farms flood the economy.

Who it’s for: Server owners who want mob heads that depend on how a mob is killed, and players who want to see who killed a mob in the head's tooltip.

How it compares

Questions

Does More Heads need Fabric API?

Fabric API is required on Fabric. On Forge, NeoForge and Quilt it is not listed as a dependency.

Does a player need the mod to join a server?

No. Only the server must run it, and players may add it for the tooltip but can join without it.

Which mobs never drop heads?

Wither Skeletons and the Ender Dragon are excluded, so they never leave a head.
