Nitroito's MobHeads
by nitroito
Nitroito's MobHeads gives players collectible heads from vanilla mobs, tracked through advancements as the game progresses.
What it does
Each vanilla mob variant can drop a head that players collect and keep in a personal record. Collection progress is recorded through advancements, so the tracking follows the standard advancement system rather than a separate counter. Summoning mechanics for hidden mobs are modeled on vanilla behavior, and existing worlds keep working when the mod is added.
The mod is built for Fabric only and targets the 1.21.11 – 26.2 range, with the latest file, 1.2.1, built for 26.2 and published on 2026-07-22. Options can be adjusted through Cloth Config. The project is open source under the MIT License and keeps a public source repository and issue tracker.
Both the server and each player need the mod, since heads and summoning are handled on the server while the client shows the collection screens. Installing it only on one side does not give the full feature set.
