About Just Mob Heads
From Modrinth🗿 Adds a configurable chance for mobs to drop their head, using vanilla resources only.
Just Mob Heads is a minimalistic mod that adds a configurable chance for mobs to drop their head on death. You can also generate every available mob head via commands. Mob heads will keep their name after placement and pickup with the mod installed.
There are config options available to make mob heads only drop on player kill or only by charged creepers.
I've also got a Just Player Heads mod available!
Updated to 26.2, get the Sulfur Cube head now! :)
The mod allows configuration via two config files. The general one is located in ./config/justmobheads-common.toml and contains:
Show Spoiler
mobSpecificDropChances default true
If enabled, overrides the 'overallDropChance' variable with the specific values.
enableStandardHeads default false
If enabled, allows Creepers, Skeletons and Zombies to drop their heads.
enableLootingEnchant default true
If enabled, the looting enchant will have an effect on the drop chance.
onlyAdultMobsDropTheirHead default true
If enabled, only adult tameable mobs will have a chance to drop their head on death.
overallDropChance default 0.1, min 0, max 1.0
Sets the chance of a mob dropping its head if 'mobSpecificDropChances' is disabled.
creeperSkeletonZombieDropChance default 0.1, min 0, max 1.0
Sets head drop chance for Zombies, Skeletons and Creepers if 'enableStandardHeads' is enabled. With 'mobSpecificDropChances' enabled, this is the default for their own lines in headchances.txt.
onlyDropHeadsByChargedCreeper default false
When enabled, only drops mob heads if the source on death is a charged creeper. This overwrites the onlyDropHeadsByPlayerKill value.
onlyDropHeadsByPlayerKill default false
When enabled, only drops mob heads if the source on death is from a player.
The second config file is located in ./config/justmobheads/headchances.txt. This file contains the default drop chances for all mob head drops (1.19 data):
On first load, the existing values are checked for anything missing (e.g. after an update). If that's the case, it'll be appended to the end of the file.
