Just Mob Heads is a small mod that gives mobs a configurable chance to drop their head when you kill them. No extra systems, no bloat. Every mob is supported, drop rates are fully tunable, and the heads use vanilla resources so they stick around even if you pull the mod later. If you’re building mob head collections or decorating with trophies, this one’s actually worth it.
Features
Configurable Drop Chances
There’s a global drop chance that applies to all mobs, plus individual overrides for any mob you want to tweak. Everything lives in the Forge Config Manager. The defaults are reasonable out of the box, but you can set any mob to drop heads every time or almost never.
No Lag From Head Generation
The mod creates heads using texture values instead of player-name generation. Player-name-based heads cause lag spikes that can really tank performance on servers. This approach skips that problem entirely.
Heads Survive Mod Removal
No custom blocks are added. Every head dropped by this mod uses vanilla resources, so if you remove Just Mob Heads down the line, any heads already in your inventory or world will still work fine.
Looting Enchantment Support
Looting increases the drop chance: 3.5% bonus at level I, 4.5% at level II, 5.5% at level III. It scales past level III as well. You can turn this off in the config if you’d rather keep drop chances flat.
Creepers, Skeletons, and Zombies
These three are disabled by default since you can already farm their heads with charged creepers. If you want them to drop naturally like every other mob, just flip the option in the config manager.
Full Mob Coverage
Every existing mob has been added with its own configurable drop chance in the newer versions. The full list is in the Forge Config Manager.
