Hey everyone. I made this simple data pack for java edition because getting mob heads in vanilla survival is way too hard. Waiting for thunderstorms and charged creepers takes too much time. With this data pack, when you kill mobs they have a chance to drop their head. I mainly made this so I can collect heads and use them to decorate my survival base. How to use: Just download the zip file and put it inside your world's "datapacks" folder. You dont need any modloader like fabric or forge for this because it is just a plain data pack. It is very lightweight so it wont cause any lag on your server or singleplayer world. If any mob is not dropping its head or the drop rate is too crazy, just tell me in the comments and I will try to fix it when I get free time.
