How do I install Custom Heads?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on Modrinth — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

What Minecraft version does Custom Heads work with?

The listing gives Minecraft 1.20, 1.20.1, 1.20.2, among others. This is the version stated by the author or source site, not something we verified ourselves.

Custom Heads

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Get The Head

Get The Head is a data pack / mod that hits to add a new way to decorate your buildings with the players heads.

Some example from https://minecraft-heads.com/player-heads/decoration :

Head Drop on Dead : When a player dies will drop his head.
Customize the Player Head : Throwing a player head and a written book the SkullOwner data of the head will be replaced from the title of the book.

Personalize the datapack with the config function.
