➜ The mod version of this data pack 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?

  1. All-in-one solution: Combines mob heads and player heads in one data pack/mod, keeping head collecting consistent.

  2. Preserves farms and grinders: Hoe-based drops keep farms and grinders from filling up with unwanted head drops.

  3. Vanilla-style items: Heads use fitting note block sounds, clean names, and subtle tooltip styling so they feel like part of the game.

  4. Lightweight and passive: Built around loot tables and pack overlays, without ticking functions, command-heavy systems, or extra runtime overhead.

  5. 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

After adding the data pack/mod to your world or server, you can open the about panel with:

/function more_heads:about

about_panel

Mob Heads

Mobs drop their heads when killed with a hoe. The Wither Skeleton and Ender Dragon are excluded, keeping their vanilla progression intact.

Player Heads
