About HeadDrops [1.8 - 1.18+]

From SpigotMC

A bare-bones head-dropping plugin.

Important
I am currently unable to work on this plugin for the next couple of weeks. The newer versions currently have multiple bugs, so I would suggest using the older, stable v1.4 for the time being. If you would like to work on this project, feel free to submit a PR on GitHub.

Thank you for over 70,000 downloads!

Description

HeadDrops is a simple plugin that adds head drops for players. It adds head drops for both normal player deaths and deaths that are caused by another player. Each of these "head types" are fully customizable in the configuration file. Although HeadDrops pairs best with servers that have PVP enabled, it can be applied to really any server type!
