All Mob Heads Datapack: Collect Every Trophy in Minecraft
Imagine walking into your survival base and seeing a wall lined with the heads of every creature you have ever encountered. From the humble chicken to the terrifying Wither, each trophy tells a story. The All Mob Heads datapack turns that fantasy into reality, allowing nearly every mob in the game to drop its head upon death. This French-crafted datapack, also available in English, injects fresh life into your collection habits and opens up decorative possibilities you never knew you needed.
How the Datapack Changes Head Drops
By default, Minecraft only drops heads for a handful of mobs: wither skeletons, and the classic trio of zombie, skeleton, and creeper (which require a charged creeper explosion). This datapack expands that list dramatically. Now, every passive, neutral, and hostile mob has a chance to leave behind its head when slain. You can finally obtain the grinning face of a dolphin, the woolly noggin of a sheep, or even the blocky snout of a piglin.
Standard Head Drops Remain Unchanged
Importantly, the datapack does not alter the vanilla method for obtaining zombie, skeleton, and creeper heads. Those still require the rare and dangerous charged creeper technique, preserving the challenge for dedicated trophy hunters. Everything else, however, becomes a straightforward drop, making head collecting accessible while keeping a nod to tradition.
Summoning Hidden Mobs with a Name Tag
Beyond drops, the datapack cleverly uses the renaming mechanic to bring otherwise unobtainable mobs into your world. By applying a name tag with a specific word, you can transform existing creatures into rare variants that do not spawn naturally. This opens up even more head-collecting opportunities and adds a dash of mystery to your adventures.
- Rename a Vindicator to “illusioner” to summon an Illusioner, the elusive spellcaster that never made it into regular survival mode.
- Rename a Skeleton Horse to “zombie” to create a Zombie Horse, a mount with a grim, undead appearance.
- Rename a white rabbit to “killer” to spawn the infamous Killer Bunny, a hostile lagomorph straight out of Monty Python lore.
Each of these special mobs can drop its own unique head, so you can proudly display trophies from creatures your friends might not even know exist. For those who enjoy tinkering with custom content, the foxygame.net launcher makes installing datapacks like this one incredibly smooth—you can browse and activate mods directly from its menu, skipping the usual file-juggling hassle.
Colorful Customization: Shulkers and Slimes
One of the most creative features is the ability to recolor living shulkers and obtain matching slime heads. This is done entirely through name tags, no commands needed.
Renaming Shulkers
Simply rename any shulker with one of the sixteen Minecraft color names, and its shell will instantly change to that hue. The supported colors are:
- red, orange, yellow, lime, green, blue, cyan, light_blue, pink, magenta, purple, brown, black, gray, light_gray, white
This works on live shulkers, so you can create a rainbow of teleporting boxes for your end-city builds or storage systems.
Colored Slime Heads
Similarly, renaming a slime with any of the same color names will cause it to drop a head of that specific color when killed. The list is identical:
- red, orange, yellow, lime, green, blue, cyan, light_blue, pink, magenta, purple, brown, black, gray, light_gray, white
Now your slime farm can yield a vibrant palette of bouncy trophies, perfect for pixel art or color-coded storage rooms.
Nitwit Villagers for Every Biome
Villager enthusiasts will appreciate the ability to spawn a Nitwit in any village biome. By renaming an unemployed villager to “nitwit,” you instantly get the green-robed simpleton, regardless of whether the biome normally supports that profession. This is a small but handy trick for map makers or role-players who want a consistent village idiot across all their settlements. And yes, the Nitwit drops its own head too, so you can memorialize the most useless member of society.
Multiple Head Variants for Special Mobs
Some mobs are so iconic they deserve more than one head design, and this datapack delivers. You can collect multiple distinct heads from a single mob type, adding depth to your display cases.
- The Wither boss offers 4 different heads, capturing its various stages of decay.
- The Ghast has 2 head variants, perhaps reflecting its sorrowful or screaming expressions.
- The Vex provides 2 different heads, likely differing in wing position or facial detail.
- The Strider comes with 2 head options, showing the lava-walking creature from different angles.
These variations encourage repeated encounters and ensure your trophy hall never feels repetitive.
Advancement Collection System
To guide your hunting, the datapack includes a full advancement tree. Each new head you collect unlocks a corresponding advancement, giving you clear goals and a satisfying sense of progression. It is a built-in checklist that nudges you to explore every biome, conquer every boss, and experiment with every renaming trick. Completionists will find themselves spending hours tracking down that last elusive head.
Installation and Compatibility
The All Mob Heads datapack was created by Mldeg and is designed for Minecraft Java Edition. It works as a standard datapack—just drop it into your world’s datapacks folder and reload. The French version is the original, but an English translation is readily available for wider accessibility. Because it only modifies loot tables and adds a few naming functions, it is highly compatible with other datapacks and mods, though you should always test in a backup world first. Remember, you can grab the datapack from popular community platforms or, if you prefer a streamlined experience, the foxygame.net launcher lets you download and manage such content directly without leaving the game menu.
Conclusion
The All Mob Heads datapack transforms head hunting from a niche activity into a full-blown collection adventure. With drops for every mob, clever renaming summons, color customization, and multiple head variants, it adds layers of creativity and replayability to any survival world. Whether you are a builder looking for unique decorations or a completionist craving a new challenge, this datapack deserves a spot in your Minecraft toolkit. Grab a stack of name tags, sharpen your sword, and start filling those trophy walls—one head at a time.
