Player Heads Plugin
Player Heads Plugin (1.19.1, 1.18.2) implements everything but the kitchen sink. You can now lop off enemies heads in battle, and mount it on a pole for all to fear, wear your opponent’s face as a mask like camouflage, or just collect all of the mob heads.

Notes
- PlayerHeads is now translatable! Edit “lang.properties” to whatever phrases you desire.
- lang files will change between releases, when updating be sure to delete the old file if you haven’t edited it.
- If you’ve given people the * permission node, they will get 100% drop rates. If you don’t want this to happen, deny (or add negative) nodes for the following: playerheads.alwaysbehead and playerheads.alwaysbeheadmob
- If you want to disable head drops in a specific world, use your permission plugin to deny (or add negative) nodes for the following in that world: playerheads.canbehead and playerheads.canbeheadmob
- If you have any problem using “lang_[language]_[country]_[variant].properties” for any reason, just use the file name “lang.properties” to override messages.
- Spawn mob heads with the following names: #creeper #zombie #skeleton #wither #spider #enderman #enderdragon…
Known issues
- Renamed heads (with an anvil) don’t stay renamed after placing, mining, dropping them.
- If for any reason your mob heads loose their name, you can get it back by placing and mining it.
- If you use the plugin on a 1.8-1.12.2 server, you should read about some notes here as well.
- If you use the BountyHunters plugin and you have enabled head drops for bounties as well as player head drops from PlayerHeads, both will be dropped – for now, you should disable one or the other. Alternative solutions are being looked at.
- If you use JPerms, users with Op or playerheads.* permission will receive playerheads.alwaysbehead[mob] permissions and have 100% droprate since PlayerHeads permissions nodes are ignored. It’s recommended to use another permissions plugin if this is a concern (LuckPerms, PermissionsEX, GroupManager).
