Collect Every Vanilla Mob Head with This Massive Datapack
Minecraft has always had a handful of mob heads you could obtain, but they were limited to a few special enemies like creepers, skeletons, and zombies. The Mob Heads datapack completely rewrites that rule. It introduces over 500 unique player heads that represent every mob, baby variant, and rare form in the game, turning your trophy room into a true bestiary. Whether you want the head of a blue axolotl, a charged creeper, or the elusive warden, this datapack makes the hunt possible in survival mode.
How the Mob Heads Datapack Works
Instead of relying on charged creeper explosions for every single head, this system uses a configurable drop chance whenever you kill a mob. That means you can collect heads through normal combat, making the grind feel fair and rewarding. Each head also comes with a custom note block sound, so placing one on a note block plays a unique tune tied to that creature. It is a small touch that adds personality to every display.
The pack includes a full advancement tree that tracks which heads you have obtained. Every time a head drops, a chat notification confirms your luck, so you never miss the moment. The drop rates are balanced around vanilla progression, with common farm animals sitting at a low 2% while bosses like the ender dragon or wither climb to 20%.

Default Drop Rates and Rare Targets
The datapack assigns a percentage chance to every mob, and looting enchantments do not affect these rates. This keeps the challenge consistent. Some of the most sought-after heads and their default drop chances include:
- Ender Dragon – 20%
- Wither – 20%
- Warden – 15%
- Elder Guardian – 15%
- Charged Creeper – 10%
- Blue Axolotl – 10%
- Piglin Brute – 10%
- Brown Mooshroom – 10%
- Special Wither Skull – 5%
- Allay – 5%
- Sniffer – 5%
- Camel – 5%
Common passive mobs like chickens, pigs, and cows sit at just 2%, while hostile staples such as zombies and skeletons also drop at 2%. The variety encourages you to explore every biome and dimension, from the deep dark to the Nether wastes. If you are aiming for a complete collection, the rarest heads will take patience and a well-prepared farm.
Configuring the Experience to Your Liking
Running the command /trigger mob_heads.config opens an intuitive menu where you can switch between player kills and charged creeper drops as the trigger method. You can also adjust the drop rate for all mobs simultaneously or fine-tune individual values. If you prefer a quieter hunt, disable the chat notifications entirely. For creative builders or map makers, the command /trigger get_mob_head lets you give yourself any head instantly, which is perfect for decorating an adventure map.
If you want to skip manual setup, the Mob Heads datapack can be quickly added through the foxygame.net launcher — a flexible, modern launcher that lets you download mods and datapacks directly from its built-in menu. This eliminates the hassle of digging through files and ensures you always have the latest version ready to play.
Translations and Community Support
The datapack ships with full localization thanks to the Jodeks Translations resource pack. Every menu, notification, and advancement is available in six languages beyond English, making the pack accessible to a global audience. The translation badge above highlights the supported languages, and the community can contribute further via the translation repository.
Building a Trophy Hall Worth Bragging About
With over 500 heads at your disposal, your base can become a museum of every creature you have conquered. The custom note block sounds let you create interactive exhibits where each head plays a fitting noise. Combine heads with item frames and armor stands to build dynamic dioramas, or line your walls with the heads of every boss you have slain. The advancement system gives you clear goals, and the chat notifications turn each drop into a small celebration.
The Mob Heads datapack transforms a niche vanilla feature into a full-fledged collection mechanic. It respects the original game balance while adding depth for completionists and builders alike. Whether you are chasing the 20% ender dragon drop or farming hundreds of chickens for that 2% head, the journey feels meaningful and the rewards are always worth displaying.
