Highlights


Configuration

Default values picked to fit well on most servers,
However, if you like getting into configuration, here's just a taste of what you can do:

  • Adjust drop rates based on mob type
  • Adjust drop rates based on ticks-lived
  • Adjust drop rates based on what weapon is used
  • Adjust drop rates based on spawn conditions (Breeding, Spawners, /summon, ...)
  • Require using specific weapon(s) to get heads to drop
  • Enabling charged creeper head drops
  • Change any head textures, or add your own
  • Optionally require killed by a player (configurable what counts as 'killed by a player')
  • Opt-in automatic updates
  • ...and more! Check out config files in the GitHub repository

Troubleshooting / F.A.Q.

Q: Heads are not dropping!
A: There a many possible causes; here is a quick checklist of things you should try:
* Check if another plugin is causing the issue (compatibility)
* Check if you have the dropheads.canbehead permission
* Check head-drop-rates and spawn-cause-modifiers configs (e.g. spawn egg rates are nerfed!)
* Keep in mind the time-alive, weapon-used, and looting modifiers.
* If killing a player, check if they have the dropheads.canlosehead permission
* If you have modified your config files, check them carefully for other causes

Q: Does this plugin cause lag?
A: It shouldn't!  I hear it is much faster than Xisumavoid's datapack :)

Q: Can I edit the head textures (i.e., to match a resource pack)?
A: Yes!  Look in the head-textures.txt file

Q: Migrating from another heads plugin?
A: It should be an easy drag-n-drop replacement, but if you have any issues let me know!

Q: How do I install on Forge/Fabric/Singleplayer?
A: DropHeads currently only works on Bukkit and its forks (Spigot, etc); try the MMH-Nano datapack

Q: Where do I get help / report a bug?
A: You can post a comment below, create a bug report, or DM me :)

Q: Older versions of Minecraft?
A: Currently, DropHeads runs on 1.13+.  You can find older DropHead jars for 1.12 in the Files tab, otherwise seek out a plugin with support for legacy versions, such as PlayerHeads.
