Player Heads Drop

by Neylz

Player Heads Drop makes a player's head fall to the ground where that player died, through a datapack that works on Fabric, Forge and Quilt.

FabricForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.19 – 1.19.3

What it does

When a player dies, a head with that player's skin is dropped at the spot of death. Death by any cause triggers it, including monsters, fire, falls and other players. The head's appearance follows the skin the player wore when they died, so a later skin change does not alter heads already dropped. Players who log off while dead still leave their head on the ground where they died.

The mod is delivered as a datapack, so it is added to a world's datapacks folder in a single-player save or on a server, and it needs no client-side install. Server owners can switch head drops on and off with the function headsdrop:cmd/on-off-drops, and switch the custom advancement on and off with headsdrop:cmd/on-off-advancement. The advancement belongs to the Adventure group and is enabled by default.

Player Heads Drop is released for 1.19 – 1.19.3 and needs no other mod to run. It is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, with the 1.6+mod build covering 1.19.3 as the latest file on each loader. The mod is licensed under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Player head drops

    A head with the dead player's skin is placed on the ground where the death occurred.

  2. Any cause of death

    Heads drop after deaths from mobs, fire, falls and other players, not only one kind of death.

  3. Controllable drops

    A function lets server owners turn head drops on or off at any time without editing files.

  4. Optional advancement

    A custom advancement in the Adventure group can be enabled or disabled with its own function.

  5. Simple datapack

    The mod is a plain datapack with a small illustration, so it can be read and edited directly.
