Description
More Heads
➜ The data pack version of this mod can be found here
Adds survival-friendly access to mob heads and player heads, using intentional hoe-based drops to avoid farm pollution and preserve vanilla progression.
Expands head collecting by making mob and player heads a deliberate survival reward, not an automatic byproduct.
Why use this data pack/mod?
All-in-one solution: Combines mob heads and player heads in one data pack/mod, keeping head collecting consistent.
Preserves farms and grinders: Hoe-based drops keep farms and grinders from filling up with unwanted head drops.
Vanilla-style items: Heads use fitting note block sounds, clean names, and subtle tooltip styling so they feel like part of the game.
Lightweight and passive: Built around loot tables and pack overlays, without ticking functions, command-heavy systems, or extra runtime overhead.
Flexible installation: Works as either a world-specific data pack or packaged mod, making it easy to use in singleplayer, servers, vanilla, and modded setups.
Installation
