More Mob Heads Mod
by Risttahukas
More Mob Heads adds a head for each vanilla mob, so players can collect and place mob heads in their builds on Forge 1.20.1.
What it does
The mod adds 463 mob heads, each modeled on a vanilla mob and its animations, and uses only the vanilla textures. A head changes its look when a resource pack changes the texture of the matching mob. Each head can be placed as a block and also played as an instrument through a note block, in the same way vanilla heads work.
Players who want heads for decorations, display rooms or mob-themed builds get a broad set to choose from. The mod also adds a new enchantment for axes, Beheading, which acts like a stronger Looting enchantment for mob heads and boosts other drops. Both client and server need the mod, so it has to be installed on the server and by every player.
More Mob Heads runs on Forge for 1.20.1 only. The source code is open source under the MIT License, and the issue tracker is public. The mod was first published on 2023-07-25 and last updated on 2023-07-27, when version 0.2.1-1.20.1 became the latest file on the beta channel.
Key features
463 mob heads
Heads are added for vanilla mobs, including their variants, for use as blocks and decorations.
Vanilla textures and models
Each head uses a model based on its mob and the vanilla textures, so resource packs carry over to the heads.
Heads as instruments
Placing a head beneath a note block plays it as an instrument, similar to the vanilla mob head behavior.
Beheading enchantment
A new axe enchantment called Beheading raises the chance of mob head drops and other drops from mobs.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Builders who want decorative mob heads, and survival players who farm mobs for heads and drops on Forge 1.20.1. Server owners who want the heads and enchantment on multiplayer servers need the mod on the server and on every client.

Craftable Dragon Head is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that is server-side only and released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source and players join without installing it. More Mob Heads differs by adding a full set of vanilla mob heads and the Beheading enchantment.
