PumpkinHead

by Dev0Louis

PumpkinHead is a Fabric mod that puts a pumpkin head on every player and on modded mobs, and it works on the server alone.

FabricServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.16.5 – 1.20.2

What it does

Players are given a pumpkin helmet through the mod, and mobs from other mods receive one as well. The helmet is a visual change only, so items in the inventory are not deleted when the mod is installed or removed. Once the mod is removed, the pumpkin appearance goes away, and the helmet slot returns to normal.

Key features

  1. Pumpkin head for players

    Every player is shown wearing a carved pumpkin on the head while the mod is installed.

  2. Modded mobs included

    Mobs added by other mods also receive the pumpkin head, not only vanilla creatures.

  3. Safe removal

    Existing items stay intact, and removing the mod restores the original look without losing any gear.

Does PumpkinHead need to be installed on the client?

No. It runs on the server alone, so players need nothing extra to join.

What the author says

Don't worry about items getting deleted. The Pumpkins 🎃 are only aesthetic and will be removed once the mod is removed.
