PlayerHeadDrops

When a player dies, their head drops — complete with their skin. Everything else is configurable down to the smallest detail.

Features

• Skin preservation — textures are embedded into the item, so skins survive server restarts.

• Drop chance — from 0% to 100%, plus Looting and permission bonuses.

• One-time drop mode — each player's head can drop only once. Data persists across restarts.

• Cooldown — a specific player's head won't drop again until the configured time passes.

• PvP-only mode — heads drop only when killed by another player. Mobs, suicide, and /kill don't count.

• Drop to inventory — send the head directly to the killer's inventory instead of the ground.

• Anti-farm — ignore suicide, void deaths, and self-kills.

• World control — blacklist or whitelist worlds.

• Custom name and lore — format, color, italic, lore with MiniMessage and placeholders support (%player%, %killer%, %world%, %date%, %time%).

• Mob heads — vanilla mob heads (ZOMBIE, SKELETON, CREEPER, WITHER_SKELETON, PIGLIN, ENDER_DRAGON) with separate chances.

• Looting bonus — each level of Looting on the killer's weapon adds to the drop chance.

• Permission bonus — chance multiplier for players with playerheaddrops.boost permission.

• Announcements — customizable chat message when a head drops, global or radius-based.

• Economy (Vault) — reward the killer for each head drop.

• Sounds and particles — accompany head drops with sound effects and particles.
