Mob Heads Drop

Whats up guys Racing Raftaar here back with another really cool addon for your Minecraft worlds. Have you ever noticed that in Minecraft, you only get heads from like five mobs? You get the skeleton, wither skeleton, zombie, creeper, and the ender dragon. That is literally it.

What about the other 60 plus mobs running around your world? I always wanted to build a massive museum or a trophy room in my survival base to show off all the mobs I have defeated, but it was just impossible. So I decided to fix that problem completely.

I created the RR Mob Heads Drop addon. This pack changes the loot tables so that every single mob in the entire game drops its own custom head when you kill it.

The Drop System and Custom Textures

So here is how it works. I went into the files and added custom head drops for all 63 mobs in Minecraft Java Edition. Yes, all of them. From passive mobs like cows and sheep, to annoying ones like phantoms and silverfish, all the way up to the Warden and the Elder Guardian. Each head uses a custom player skull that has the exact skin texture of the mob, so they look perfectly accurate when you place them down in your base.

Now, I didn't want this to be too overpowered where your inventory just fills up with heads every time you clear a mob farm. I balanced the drop rates. Every standard mob has a 10% base chance to drop its head, but ONLY if it is killed by a player.

If a zombie falls off a cliff or dies in lava, you won't get a head. You have to earn it. However, the drop rate is fully compatible with the Looting enchantment! Each level of Looting adds a 5% chance. So if you are using a Looting III sword, your chance goes up to a solid 25% per kill.

For the really tough bosses, I changed the rates a bit. The Warden has a base drop chance of 20% because, let's be honest, fighting the Warden is terrifying and you deserve a guaranteed reward. The Wither Skeleton and Elder Guardian have a 15% drop rate to match their difficulty.

And don't worry, all the normal vanilla drops like bones, rotten flesh, and gunpowder are still there. The heads are just added as an extra bonus drop on top of the regular loot.

Multiplayer and Server Ready

If you run a server or an SMP with your friends, this addon is absolutely perfect for you. It is a pure data pack, which means it runs entirely on vanilla Minecraft Java Edition. You do not need to install Fabric, Forge, or any complicated mod loaders. Just drop the file in and it works immediately for everyone on the server. There is no extra setup required for your friends to see the custom heads, and it makes building trophy rooms or player shops so much more fun.

How to Apply in Minecraft

Since this is a data pack for Java Edition, the installation is super simple.

First, download the .zip file from the link below. Do NOT extract or unzip the file, just leave it as a .zip.

Open your Minecraft game, select your world, and click on 'Edit', then click 'Open World Folder'.

Find the folder named 'datapacks' and just drag and drop the .zip file right into it.

Load up your world, type /reload in the chat, and the pack will activate instantly. You are ready to start hunting!

Beta APIs Setup

Since this pack modifies the core loot tables for 63 different entities in the game, you need to make sure your world is ready to accept these changes.

While this is primarily a data pack, if you are running it on a setup that requires experiment toggles, make sure the Beta APIs are enabled in your world settings before loading in, just to be safe and ensure all the custom player skull textures render correctly.
