Perma Pumpkin Head

by redemoles

Perma Pumpkin Head keeps a carved pumpkin on a player's head after death, even when keep inventory is off, for servers that want the item to stay worn.

What it does

A pumpkin worn as a helmet stays on the player through death and respawn. The effect comes from a server-side mod, so only the server needs it installed, and players join without installing anything. Builds cover 1.21.9 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the mod is released under the MIT License, so the code is open source.

Key features

  1. Permanent pumpkin head

    A carved pumpkin placed on the head is kept on the player after dying, even with keep inventory disabled.

  2. Respawn retention

    The worn pumpkin returns to the player's head on respawn instead of dropping at the place of death.

  3. Keep inventory gamerule independent

    The pumpkin stays equipped whether the keep inventory gamerule is enabled or disabled.
