Wither Skull Dupe
Wither Skull Dupe lets players copy Wither Skeleton skulls through a simple custom crafting recipe, which makes the path toward a Wither summon less grindy.
What it does
The mod adds a crafting recipe that turns seven diamonds, one coal block and one Wither skull into an extra Wither skull, so players do not need to spend long stretches farming Wither Skeleton skull drops. Its author describes the goal as keeping progress toward beacons and a Wither summon accessible while leaving survival gameplay intact.
The recipe is the only gameplay change described on the Modrinth page. The author notes say it suits survival worlds, singleplayer and multiplayer servers, and that it aims to avoid command spam and performance impact. Fabric API is required on every loader, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. A Data pack version is also listed as available for server platforms.
Only the server has to run the mod for the recipe to apply, while players may install it on their client or leave it out. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source. The latest file on each loader is 1.21.2+mod for 1.21.11, and snapshot builds are published.
