Schnabelborg's Schnabelheads
by schnabelborg
Schnabelborg's Schnabelheads adds a creative inventory tab filled with decorative Schnabelborg-themed miniblocks, and the Fabric mod is a client-side only install.
What it does
Installed on the client, the mod adds a creative inventory tab that holds the SchnabelHeads it finds in the game folder. Each head is a player head item that can be placed as a decoration, and the Pick Head feature copies the head a player is looking at into the inventory. The mod itself does not add custom blocks; the heads appear in the creative inventory only once the head sets are in place.
The head sets are not bundled with the mod in full. The author notes that custom heads are added through set files placed in a specific directory, and a zip file with some premade sets can be fetched and extracted there. Because the mod is client-side only, a server does not need it, and players on multiplayer servers can use the heads without any server-side installation.
The mod is published for Fabric only, for 1.16 – 1.20.4 across 19 release versions, with the latest file 1.4.2 for 1.20.4 dated 2023-12-30. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
