Just Mob Heads for Minecraft

Review Just Mob Heads

Trophy Heads in Minecraft

You can collect various items in Minecraft, such as plates or armor, enchanted items, unique artifacts, mobs’ drop, or very rare blocks. And one of the categories is mob heads. They are mainly used for decoration, but some of them are very rare, hence such items are extremely interesting for the players. In the vanilla version, you can get the head of a Dragon, a Wither skeleton, a skeleton, a zombie, a Piglin, or a Creeper. At the same time, you can both knock out in battle and find in certain dungeons and structures. But what if you want to somehow get other heads as well?

For example, a skull of a cat or a dog, a parrot, Steve, or an Ifrit would look cool. You can use the Just Mob Heads add-on for this, which offers this kind of functions in Minecraft. All new decorative items will be dropped with a certain chance, and you can always configure it in a special configuration file if you want. This is convenient both for a single-player game and Minecraft servers, where you need to specify certain criteria for different user categories. So, if you are wondering what the Just Mob Heads mod offers, read our review to the end!

The Just Mob Heads add-on adds a lot of creatures’ skulls to Minecraft, which are mainly decorative items, since they don’t offer any special functions. They keep their names after a player or a mob dies. You can also specify certain parameters in the configuration file so that the heads fall out only after killing a player or contacting with charged creepers. Indeed, there is a wide choice of parameters for different cases and mechanics.

When you first start the game, the Just Mob Heads mod checks the values preset in the configuration file, and if you have changed any parameters in the game, it’s recommended to restart launcher or log into a new map so that the data is loaded with updated information. This system is very convenient for any user who decided to play Minecraft with new decorative blocks. Default values for many mobs range from 0.025 to 1.0, but you can change them as you like. But even the preset parameters are enough to ensure that some of the skulls are extremely rare, and some drop pretty often.

The only disadvantage of the mod is that you won’t be able to get some heads through the administrator mode even with JEI installed and will have to look for the mob to kill it. The mod adds almost all the creatures available in the vanilla version of Minecraft, and the developer does his best to quickly add new mobs, when they appear in new versions of the game. In the «Customizable» section, you can find the full list of creatures whose heads are likely to be dropped. There are really a lot of them here, and each of them has a certain chance preset.

The Just Mob Heads add-on has a separate parameter, controlling the drop of skulls for creepers, skeletons, and zombies , since in the standard version of Minecraft, you can by default get them from a charged creeper. In the configuration file of the Just Mob Heads mod, you can choose whether to continue using the old mechanics or switch to the new one, when even zombies and other mobs will get a certain chance to drop out. Another important feature is the chance to get loot. For example, if you have enchanted swords with the «Loot», effect, then you can significantly raise your chances of getting a head in the game. With standard settings, it can reach 5.5% at the «Loot 3» level.

As for the rest, this is a standard mod that doesn’t add any unique crafts or biomes. It mainly focuses on the chances of getting drop, fine-tuning each of the creatures, and getting decorative items. Thanks to this system, you’ll be able to choose the mobs to increase or reduce their chances. For example, you can add lower chances of getting heads from bosses or mobs located in distant biomes on a server with a large number of players. Thus, you’ll motivate players to get to such locations more often.
