Drop the player’s head on death. Fully customizable
This Minecraft plugin makes players drop their head upon death. Configure head drops, glowing effects, particles, broadcast messages, per-player statistics, and much more, all from a single config.yml
Runs natively on Spigot, Paper, Purpur and Folia, with no extra dependencies
PvP / PvE / All Drop Modes
Choose when heads drop : on any death, only player kills (pvp), or only environmental deaths (pve)
Custom Drop Chance
Configure the exact probability of a head dropping (0% → 100%)
Per-Player Drop Limit
Optionally cap how many heads a single player can ever drop (great for farm prevention). Reset any player with a command
World Blacklist
Disable head drops entirely in specific worlds
Invisibility Protection
Optionally prevent head drops when the dying player is invisible
Custom Head Item
Broadcast Messages
Toggle a global chat message whenever a head drops, with full placeholder and color-code support
Optional Effects
Statistics System

Give Command
Hand out any player's head by username with /head give
Built-in Update Checker
Get notified in the console when a new version is released on Modrinth
All these features can be fully configured in the config.yml

This plugin collects anonymous usage data (player and server counts, server software and version…) through two open statistics services : FastStats and bStats
FastStats is privacy-first : it does not store IP addresses or any data that could identify you, and is fully GDPR-compliant. You can see the live numbers on the public project page
bStats is open-source and equally anonymous. If you prefer to disable it, open /plugins/bStats/config.yml and set enabled to false
