Axe Effective Skulls [PurpurPack]
by PurpurMC
With Axe Effective Skulls, axes break heads and skulls faster, because the mod adds them to the axe-mineable tag.
What it does
The mod adds skulls and heads to the axe-mineable block tag, so an axe breaks them faster than other tools. It is a server mod: only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything. Fabric API is required on Fabric, and the mod goes in the mods folder next to it.
Key features
Axe-mineable heads
Skulls and heads are placed in the axe-mineable tag, so axes clear them quickly.
Datapack configuration
Settings use the same singular configuration as the Purpur datapack, so the tag can be adjusted without code.
Tuned without server stress
Changes are added and removed over time without damaging the running server.

What the author says
These datapacks function the same as a singular configuration setting would in Purpur. They can be added and removed at any time without damaging the server. These work in vanilla, you do not need to be running Purpur to use these
